Lynch Sells “Muppets” Script…
- Brian Lynch, best known on the Web board as HUBER and as the writer/director of the forthcoming “Big Helium Dog”, has sold a screenplay to Universal for a forthcoming Muppets movie! This has been confirmed over at the View Askew site as well. Congratulations to the guy, this is fantastic news! Here’s the Hollywood Reporter’s article:
Henson hops for “Muppet” Spec
A spec script based on Jim Henson’s Muppets intended to be used as a writing sample was purchased by Jim Henson Pictures for low-six figures.
Brian Lynch’s spec “The Next Muppet Movie,” written during two weekends, follows Kermit the Frog as he attempts to save “The Muppet Show” from an evil Hollywood agent who convinces individual Muppets to quit the production and pursue solo careers. When Gonzo is the first to depart to take over the James Bond role from Pierce Brosnan, other Muppets follow suit and jeopardize the show’s future.
The project will follow Sony Pictures’ summer release “The Muppets From Space” and “Muppets Haunted Hotel,” which is set for fall 2000.
Stephanie Allain, president of Jim Henson Pictures and executive Kristine Belson are overseeing the project.
Lynch, repped by Endeavor and managers Chris Bender and J.C. Spink, is based in New Jersey. He recently rewrote Fox Searchlight’s “Fag Hag”.
“Muppet” is also the first spec sale for new management and production entity Bender/Spink since the company’s principals set out on their own after leaving Zide Entertainment (now Zide/Perry) last fall (HR 10/23).
Bender is co-producing the upcoming Universal feature “American Pie” as well as associate producing “Flight 180,” in preproduction at New Line Cinema.
