‘Muppets Most Wanted’ Teaser Trailer Makes Big Promises

“Quite possibly the greatest motion picture of all time” declares the Muppets Most Wanted teaser trailer’s voice over. No, it won’t live up to that declaration but if it comes close to being as entertaining as its predecessor, then I’ll be a happy camper. Coming to theaters on March 21, 2014, this new Muppets adventure features Ricky Gervais, Ty Burrell, and Tina Fey, along with Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, and Fozzie Bear.
 
The Plot:
 
Disney’s Muppets Most Wanted takes the entire Muppets gang on a global tour, selling out grand theaters in some of Europe’s most exciting destinations, including Berlin, Madrid and London. But mayhem follows the Muppets overseas, as they find themselves unwittingly entangled in an international crime caper headed by Constantine—the World’s Number One Criminal and a dead ringer for Kermit—and his dastardly sidekick Dominic, aka Number Two, portrayed by Ricky Gervais. The film stars Tina Fey as Nadya, a feisty prison guard, and Ty Burrell as Interpol agent Jean Pierre Napoleon.
