Jason Segel Interview For ‘The Muppets’
Nov 23rd
On vacation in Los Angeles, Walter, the world’s biggest Muppet fan, and his friends Gary (Jason Segel) and Mary (Amy Adams) from Smalltown, USA, discover the nefarious plan of oilman Tex Richman (Chris Cooper) to raze the Muppet Theater and drill for the oil recently discovered beneath the Muppets’ former stomping grounds. To stage The Greatest Muppet Telethon Ever and raise the $10 million needed to save the theater, Walter, Mary and Gary help Kermit reunite the Muppets, who have all gone their separate ways: Fozzie now performs with a Reno casino house band called the Moopets, Miss Piggy is a plus-size fashion editor at Vogue Paris, Animal is in a Santa Barbara clinic for anger management, and Gonzo is a high-powered plumbing magnate. In the addition to the Muppet gang, ‘The Muppets’ features an all-star cast in the likes of Jason Segel, Amy Adams, Chris Cooper, Rashida Jones, Emily Blunt, Zack Galifianakis, Ken Jeong and Ricky Gervais. ‘The Muppets’ is out now in US, and is set for release Febuary 17th in the UK.
As a writer how did you conceptualize the storyline? What was your inspiration?
Jason Segel: The idea of the movie was actually fairly simple. What do the Muppets do best? They put on a show. So I knew ultimately the movie was going to be about putting on a show, that’s the real spirit of the Muppets. They always had a great villain so we thought of Tex Richman, this evil oil baron. And then once Chris Cooper came into our minds, it was very simple. And then what occurred to me was that it’s been 12 years since the Muppets were last on the big screen and I wanted to acknowledge that this movie was bringing them back to the forefront of comedy where they belong, because they should have been making movies this whole time – grand, big dance movies with song and dance numbers like the old MGM style musicals. It was about getting the Muppets back together, sort of as a metaphor of getting back onto a big screen where they belonged.

I’ve heard a great story with how you got involved in ‘The Muppets’….
Amy Adams: It was amazing. Jason Segel and Kermit the Frog put together a DVD asking me to be in this movie. Jason had written a song and Kermit gave a personalised message, it really moved me. I grew up with The Muppets so I couldn’t really say no to Kermit the Frog!
How was it working with Miss Piggy, this Diva of epic proportions? Also, did she give you any advice?
Amy Adams: The important thing to remember about Miss Piggy is to just give her a lot of compliments, don’t flirt with Kermit, and always treat her like she’s the biggest star in the room. So understanding those rules, we got along just fine (laughs). But Miss Piggy doesn’t like to share any of her secrets. But by watching her I learnt that by eating a lot of donuts before a take you’ll have extra energy.
