Even though Walt Disney Studios hasn’t given the official green light to the next Muppet Movie, they are setting a release date. The project is currently in the hands of Forgetting Sarah Marshall writers Jason Segel and Nicholas Stoller, with Flight of the Conchords helmer James Bobin attached to direct. As of today, the film will hit theaters Christmas Day 2011 (December 25th for those keeping score).

Fresh with a new name, the Muppets will be saving the Rec Center and achieving greatness.

With a Conchord no less!
