Jason Segel Has Signed Up For Muppets

THR is reporting this morning that Forgetting Sarah Marshal star Jason Segel has signed on to star as the human lead in the new Muppets movie.

Interesting choice. It’s probably not the first person I would have thought of for the role. I’d bet that the reason he was picked, or at least considered for the role, was because of the ‘Dracula Puppet Opera’ scene in Forgetting Sarah Marshal.

Check it out after the jump and you’ll see what I mean…

We’ll Have to Wait For, Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps

Thursday March 11, 2010

When it comes to waiting for release dates, I have absolutely no patience at all. Zero, none, not the slightest bit. So news this morning (via THR) that Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps is being pushed back from April 23rd to September 24th is just really depressing. Especially after the trailers looked so promising.

The reason is entirely down to economics. Release your film at the optimum time to make sure people see it and put you in with a better chance for awards the following year. The trouble is, it’s like being told you’re getting a great birthday present, but that your birthday is now being delayed to make you want it more.

I’m still really excited for this movie, but come on! Hurry it up!
