How did we miss this episode of Late Night with Jimmy Fallon? Channing Tatum, soon to be seen on screen in Steven Soderbergh’s Side Effects, visited Jimmy Fallon and wound up in an ugly yellow suit throwing red sticky balls at the host. Fallon and Tatum faced off for a sticky ball game where the object was to wind up with fewer balls attached than their opponent. Guess who wins?
First Look: ‘The Muppets…Again!’ Photos
Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, and the whole Muppet gang are returning to the big screen with The Muppets…Again! co-starring two-legged, non-furry actors Ricky Gervais, Ty Burrell and Tina Fey. This new Muppets movie brings back writer Nicholas Stoller and writer/director James Bobin from the 2011 blockbuster The Muppets for more hair-raising/feather-ruffling adventures, with Disney targeting a March 21, 2014 release date.
And just to keep Muppet fans happy, Disney’s released the first two official photos from the 2014 comedy.
The Plot:
Disney’s The Muppets …Again! 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.
