Yeah, this isn't actually the real Muppet Theater. This stage was first used in "Phantom of the Opera" and is reportedly haunted. It's about time I got taken seriously in Hollywood. In this movie, I'm still playing Kermit the Frog, oddly, but it's like another version of me. When I'm not working, I just go back to the swamp. Where does this film find Kermit the Frog in life? There were lots of logistics like that we had to deal with before filming, like getting all kinds of permits for farm animals, you know, because that's what a lot of us are. Fozzie was actually hibernating, and we had to pull him out because it's winter time. It's a good reason for the gang to get back together. What's it been like working with the gang on this film? It feels like it's been a long time since we've seen you. In their newest adventure, set for release Wednesday, Kermit's felt-covered entourage reunite with the help of humans Gary and Mary (Jason Segel and Amy Adams), as well as a new muppet named Walter.ĭuring a break from shooting last January on the same Universal Studios soundstage where the original "Phantom of the Opera" was filmed in 1924, Kermit (with some assistance from veteran puppeteer Steve Whitmire) discussed returning to Hollywood from the swamp, dating Miss Piggy and crushing on "Parks and Recreation" actress Rashida Jones. That's exactly what Kermit the Frog and his pals are attempting with "The Muppets," their first big-screen foray since "Muppets in Space" orbited theaters in 1999. It's not easy being green – or staging a comeback.
