The Original Muppet Performers Come Together For the First Time in Trailer For a New Doc Called MUPPET GUYS TALKING
A trailer has been released for a fantastic looking documentary called Muppet Guys Talking: Secrets Behind the Show the Whole World Watched. It features the five original Muppet actors coming together for the first time to talk about their experiences working on The Muppets show and they also dive into what it was like working with the legendary Jim Henson and discuss the kind of man that he was.
For the first time ever, five of the original Muppet performers come together to discuss the creation of their iconic characters under the visionary leadership of Jim Henson. With unexpected stories, rare behind-the-scenes footage, and important insights into how Jim led his team, this documentary gives a private glimpse into the true spirit of the Muppets and how a culture of innovation, hard work, and playfulness produced one of the most successful creative endeavors in history.
The documentary was directed by Muppets puppeteer Frank Oz, and he joins fellow performers Dave Goelz, Fran Brill, Bill Barretta, and Jerry Nelson, who sadly died shortly after filming the doc.
Muppet Guys Talking looks like a fun and candid film as these five old friends reminisce about the good ol' days when they were working with Jim Henson in the 60s.
The film will be available to watch on MuppetGuysTalking.com on March 16th.
