A new film featuring the beloved character Miss Piggy is in the works, with significant involvement from Hollywood stars Jennifer Lawrence and Emma Stone. During an episode of the “Las Culturistas” podcast, Lawrence shared that the two actresses are producing a Miss Piggy movie, with a script penned by Cole Escola, a Tony Award-winning writer and actor from Clatskanie, Oregon.
This upcoming film marks a notable milestone, as it will be the first time Miss Piggy, the iconic Muppet diva, takes center stage in her own feature. The character gained fame in the 1970s on The Muppet Show, where her pursuit of Kermit the Frog charmed audiences worldwide. Lawrence expressed her enthusiasm about the project, stating, “I don’t know if I can announce this, but I’m just going to,” confirming the film’s production status.
Cole Escola, recognized for their work on the Broadway hit “Oh, Mary!” and winner of the Best Actor Tony earlier this year, brings a unique perspective to the script. With this blend of talent, the project is poised to engage both long-time fans of the Muppets and new audiences.
In addition to their roles as producers, both Lawrence and Stone are expected to appear on-screen, with Lawrence noting, “I think so, we have to.” This involvement suggests the film will not only celebrate Miss Piggy’s legacy but also tap into the star power of its producers.
As excitement builds around the film, it coincides with a revival of The Muppet Show, which is set to be rebooted next year. The reboot is produced by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg’s Point Grey Pictures, featuring special guest star Sabrina Carpenter. This resurgence in Muppet-related content could pave the way for a new generation of fans to embrace these classic characters.
The combination of a strong creative team and the enduring appeal of Miss Piggy indicates that this film could make a significant impact in the entertainment landscape. With production details still emerging, fans eagerly await further announcements about the project and the chance to see Miss Piggy in a new light.
