With Get Him to the Greek getting ready to come out in a few weeks, I got to talk to writer-director Nicholas Stoller on the phone yesterday. While I’ll have the entire interview online soon, I was able to get updates on all the various projects he’s working on like the upcoming Muppet Movie (tentatively titled The Greatest Muppet Movie Ever Made), Gulliver’s Travels, Stretch Armstrong, Five-Year Engagement and Einstein Theory. Here’s some of the highlights:
The Muppet Movie
- They had a table read a few days ago and they start filming this September
- They wrote in a ton of cameos and he said it breaks the fourth wall every five minutes
- Compared the tone to the original Muppet movies
- Filming in Los Angeles. Thinks it’s a 6 or 8 week shoot
- To accommodate Jason Segal and his work on How I Met Your Mother, he’ll shoot HIMYM 3 or 4 days a week and the other days will be on the Muppet movie. They will film on weekends.
- Calls The Muppets a “comedy gateway-drug”
Stretch Armstrong
- Confirmed he’s writing it for director Rob Letterman
- Says it has a light tone like Iron Man
- They’re creating their own universe for the character and other Hasbro characters aren’t making any appearances
- Confirms it’s an origin story
Gulliver’s Travels
- He saw a rough cut without effects and said it’s awesome
- Said it’s “a great mix of comedy and action-adventure-fantasy that I think people are going to be really into.”
Five-Year Engagement
- Is thinking about directing this next
