Well hello bizarre casting news.
Although I didn't care for last year's The Muppet Movie it did receive mostly positive reviews and made a killing at the box office. A sequel has been in the works for awhile now and we've finally got some casting news. Ex-Jew hunter (Inglorious Basterds) Christof Waltz will be joining Kermit, Fozzie, Gonzo, and the rest of the gang for next year's follow-up. According to "Variety," Waltz will be playing an Interpol agent which raises suspicions about the possible plot. The Muppets go international? Hmmm. Interesting premise.
In other news an acting duo that you might not expect may be teaming up soon. "The Wrap" reports that Harrison Ford and Zac Efron are both looking to snag parts in the upcoming film You Belong to Me, a psychological thriller in which Ford will play a psychiatrist dealing with the suicide of a patient. He bonds with the patient's brother (Efron) only to have him seduce the psychiatrist's wife and daughter. Adding further intrigue is that Rob Reiner is set to direct. The man who brought you The Princess Bride and When Harry Met Sally hasn't gone this route since 1990's Misery. A fascinating trifecta all around.
Waltz can next be seen in Django Unchained on Christmas Day while Ford will play Branch Rickey in next year's 42 as well as Colonel Graff in the long awaited adaptation of Orson Scott Card's Ender's Game.
