Concept art from puppet film noir The Happytime Murders

SHARE:

While they have enjoyed incredible success with bringing the Muppets back into the spotlight, Henson Studio's are moving in a tad more adult direction with their their Who Framed Roger Rabbit inspired film noir, The Happytime Murders. The synopsis for the film reads like this:

In a world where puppets co-exist with humans as second class citizens, puppet private eye and disgraced ex-cop, Phil Phillips, is hot on the trail of the serial killer who murdered his brother and is now targeting the cast members of the famous 80s television show, The Happytime Gang.
As the killings continue, Phil’s former flame, Jenny, is next on the list. It’s up to Phil and his ex-partner, Detective Edwards, to find the culprit, but as bad blood and old resentments resurface the clues start pointing to the only viable suspect, Phil himself. Now he’s on the run with only his wits and hard headed determination, as he tries to solve, The Happytime Murders.

Katherine Heigl is the only human cast member signed on so far, presumably playing Detective Edwards. Concept art has been unveiled giving us a good look at main character Phil, and showing one proposed scene, a murder investigation at a puppet sex shop called Puppet Pleasureland.



Camera's are hoped to begin rolling on the project soon, with Brian Henson, son of Muppets creator Jim, at the helm. I'm a huge fan of the Henson Company and anything they do, be they Muppets, Fraggles, or the amazingly weird Farscape, so I can't wait for this.
