Fraggle Rock: The Movie

Like The Muppets , Fraggle Rock is following the lead and release the movie -- but not too soon. Director Cory Edwards posted a message on his blog earlier today, where he reveals there has been no movement on the project. Take a look at his message below.

"Many, many, many of you have repeatedly asked for some kind of update on the Fraggle Rock movie. The truth is, I got nothin'. There's nothing to report except that The Weinstein Company has everything they need to move forward, and the ball is in their court. They've talked about getting a new writer, which I'm willing to do. They've talked about starting over from scratch, which I'm willing to do. But I have not heard a peep from their camp in almost a year. I completely sympathize with all of you that are waiting for a movie, but let's all remember that the next best thing to making a Fraggle movie is avoiding making a BAD ONE. So at least we're doing that.

Until something new happens to awaken the project from its deep coma, we can at least enjoy the untainted TV series on DVD and The Hub Network. As for me, I'm already working on new things. I hope you'll stick around and check in here... I'll be announcing my next project very, very soon."

Fraggle Rock (also known as Jim Henson's Fraggle Rock) is a Canadian children's live action puppet television program series created by Jim Henson. The central characters were a set of "Muppet" creatures called Fraggles. The show ran from January 10, 1983, to March 30, 1987, on CBC Television in Canada, ITV in the UK, HBO in the United States, and TV1 in New Zealand. The show became a worldwide hit, like Sesame Street and The Muppet Show. The "Fraggle Rock Theme" reached number 33 on the British music charts during the phenomenon. Writers included Jim Henson, Jerry Juhl, and Jocelyn Stevenson, with songs by Philip Balsam and Dennis Lee. Watch the opening theme of Fraggle Rock here: Sources: Cory Edwards
