The filmmaking team behind 2011's celebrated film "The Muppets"

Ricky Gervais, Ty Burrell and Tina Fey to the mayhem, along with
Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, Walter and rest of the Muppets. The
film is directed by James Bobin ("Flight of the Conchords", "Da
Ali G Show"), who was just nominated for a BAFTA for "The Muppets"
(Outstanding Debut by a British Writer, Director or Producer), and
produced by the Academy Award nominated team of David Hoberman and
Todd Lieberman ("The Fighter", "The Proposal"). With a screenplay
by Bobin and Nicholas Stoller ("The Five-Year Engagement"), who is
also executive producer with John Scotti, "The Muppets... Again!"
will feature music from Academy Award winning songwriter Bret
McKenzie ("Flight of the Conchords"), who won an Oscar for best
original song for The Muppets ("Man or Muppet"). The new film will

"It's great to be back working with the Muppets," said Bobin,
"some of them even remember my name occasionally now. As for the
movie, it's a tip of the hat to the old-school crime capers of
the 1960s, but featuring a frog, a pig, a bear and a dog ‹ no
panthers, even pink ones ‹ along with the usual Muppet-y mix of
mayhem, music and laughs."
Disney's "The Muppets... Again!" takes the entire Muppets gang
on a global tour, selling out grand theaters in some of Europeąs
most exciting destinations, including Berlin, Madrid and London.
But mayhem follows the Muppets overseas, as they find themselves
unwittingly entangled in an international crime caper headed by
Constantine ‹ the World's Number One Criminal and a dead ringer
for Kermit ‹ and his dastardly sidekick Dominic, aka Number Two,
portrayed by Ricky Gervais, creator of "Derek" and the Golden
Globe and Emmy winning series "The Office" and "Extras". The
film stars Golden Globe, Emmy and SAG Award winning actress and
writer Tina Fey ("30 Rock", "Mean Girls", "Date Night") as
Nadya, a feisty prison guard, and Emmy Award winner Ty Burrell
(TVąs "Modern Family") as Interpol agent Jean Pierre Napoleon.
Said Kermit the Frog, "This movie takes us places we've never
been before. And trust me ‹ this frog has never seen so much
international flavor. I think audiences will eat it up ‹ the
entertainment, that is."
Featuring a slew of surprising celebrity cameos, Disney's "The
Muppets... Again!" will shoot on location in London and in
Hollywood, as well as in the famed Pinewood Studios in Iver
Heath, Buckinghamshire, just outside of London.
