| There has been talk for years about bringing back The Fraggles. With the success of the two Muppet movies, bringing back our beloved characters to the new generation it seems a natural move. |
The project has languished for a while, but has today received some new blood - from Joseph Gordon-Levitt! Signing on as producer and star, Levitt brings the project one step closer to reality...
“The first screen personas I ever loved were Henson creations, first on ‘Sesame Street,’ and then on ‘Fraggle Rock,'” Gordon-Levitt said. “Jim Henson’s characters make you laugh and sing, but they’re also layered, surprising, and wise. From Oscar the Grouch, to Yoda, to the Fraggles. I’ve never stopped loving his work, even as a young frisky man, and on into adulthood. Collaborating with Lisa Henson makes me confident we can do something that Jim would have loved. I’m grateful and excited to be working with New Regency on this project.”
So, who is excited!?
