So my blog has been up and running for three months now and taken in over four and a quarter thousand views which means I must be doing something right. Thanks to all who have and will continue to tune in. I'm a fan of this becoming as interactive as possible and so in that vein I have created a Forum to get those discussions flowing. Check it out HERE!!!
One of the things that I've always enjoyed is finding out about new films and seeing those new trailers for the first time so I thought I'd bring that to you guys and gals by introducing a new feature to my blog in the form of 'Trailered' where I hunt down the latest trailers and get you all excited about the future projects from the film world. And to kick all of this off I have a couple of old faces that I'm sure we will be happy to see again.
That's right people, THE MUPPETS are returning to the big screen!!!
It has been 12 years since we last saw the muppets on the big screen with The Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland and even longer since they made a commercial success of it with, the quite amazing if I do say so myself, Muppet Treasure Island in 1996. With their return (which will undoubtedly be accompanied by a huge marketing campaign) Disney will be hoping to introduce a new generation to the muppets and their unique ways. Whether puppeteering will be able to captivate the target audience in a world where CGI has taken over is yet to be seen but I for one welcome them back with open arms.
Although a few teaser trailers have been released in the past months we recently got our first full length trailer to help appease the mystery surrounding the teasers.
The first teaser trailer:
Another teaser trailer (sorry Sweden!):
Full length trailer:
As you can see we are not only being given the old gang back but even get a new muppet in the form of Walter (being thrown into the electric fence in the trailer) described as "a sweet, slightly naive twenty-something Everypuppet who is the kind of guy who faints when he sees Kermit" by Bobin (writer behind The Flight of the Conchords series) the director. Actor and co-writer Segel also adds that "Walter has a little bit of a self-confidence issue because he's the only person like him that he's seen aside from the Muppets. His dream is to meet the Muppets and be around people who are like him". [EW]
There you are then, not only have I brought you lot a new regular feature but I've given you the ability to slag off my reviews even more easily than before with the new FORUM. Next I review Bad Teacher [my review] with Cameron Diaz. Another trailer below for you- it's your lucky day!
