Melissa McCarthy To Star In Puppet Noir Thriller THE HAPPYTIME MURDERS

Melissa McCarthy is tackling the underbelly of Los Angeles in a world where puppets and humans live together in the film The Happytime Murders. Variety says the film is set to be a comedy noir style thriller directed by the son of Jim Henson, Brian Henson. While most quotes from press releases come out as scripted or fairly boring, I think this one from Melissa McCarthy will get some people excited:

“When a really good script combines puppet strippers, Los Angeles’ underbelly, and comedy, it’s like my fever dream has finally come true,” 

The plot of the story revolves around a human and puppet detective attempting to discover who is brutally murdering the cast of a beloved puppet show "The Happytime Gang". The film has been trying to get off the ground since 2008 and has also eyed people like Jamie Foxx for the lead role. I'm not sure I could see him pulling something like this off, but McCarthy is a shoe-in to make this great. I'm pretty sure this could be one of the worst films out there and I'm still gonna love it off premise alone...what about you?
