THE HAPPYTIME MURDERS R-Rated Puppet Movie - Official Art and Synopsis
Here's our first look at Brian Henson's R-rated puppet film, The Happytime Murders. This is a piece of official production art that shows us what the visual style and tone of the noir murder mystery is going to be like. I love what I'm seeing; this looks like it could be a great movie. The image comes along with a new synopsis for the movie as well.
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.”
The movie will surprisingly star Katherine Heigl as the character Jenny. It was written by Todd Berger (Kung Fu Panda) from a story created by Berger and Dee Austin Robertson.
I can't wait to see how this turns out! What are your thoughts on the looks of the film and its story?
