The Jim Henson Co. has launched development of the feature Happytime Murders, a puppet comedy in the film noir detective genre.
The film will be populated by a mix of human characters and puppets in the Henson style of irreverence and parody. The story centers on a puppet detective forced to solve a string of murders around the Happytime Gang, the cast of a popular children's show.
To me the whole thing sounds like a puppet version of Who Framed Roger Rabbit? If they can make it half as creepy as their last somewhat venture into adult material, The Dark Crystal, then, well, it will be really freaking creepy.
