Jennifer Lawrence and Emma Stone to Produce a Miss Piggy Movie
Jennifer Lawrence and Emma Stone are planning their first collaboration, which will be an unconventional Muppets film. On the Las Culturistas podcast with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang, Lawrence revealed the project:
“I don't know if I can announce this, but I'm just going to. Emma Stone and I are producing a Miss Piggy movie.”
The screenplay will be written by Cole Escola, known for the Broadway show Oh, Mary! and as a Tony Award winner. Although this is Escola's first feature screenplay, they have contributed to TV shows like The Other Two, At Home with Amy Sedaris, and Ziwe. When asked if she and Stone will star in the film, Lawrence responded with a laugh,
“I think so… We have to.”
Miss Piggy is a key figure in the Muppets universe, created by Jim Henson and originally performed by Frank Oz. She is recognized for her glamorous fashion, diva behavior, karate chops, and affection for Kermit the Frog.
Fans eagerly await this new Muppets project, with hopes it will bring fresh energy to the franchise.
