			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Amy fans are lucky today! <a href="http://collider.com/" target="_blank">Collider</a> posted an audio interview they did with Amy while she was filming The Muppets.  A links to the audio file can be found at the source or you can read the interview below.</p>
<blockquote><p>I watched The Muppet Movie obsessively.  I can still pretty much say a lot of the lines and do a pretty mean Fozzie Bear.</p></blockquote>
<p>Did you enjoy sitting in that car for multiple takes?</p>
<p>Amy Adams:  There have been more comfortable situations, but everybody is really nice.  So that is good.</p>
<p>What can tell you us about your character?  We know about Jason Segel and Walter’s connection.  How do you fit into that story?</p>
<p>Adams:  I am Mary, who is Gary’s somewhat neglected girlfriend due to his close relationship with Walter.  So I am kind of along for the ride desperately trying to get him to be more romantic.  Well, in a Disney way. You know?[laughs]</p>
<p>What does it mean for you to be a part of something that has this much linage?</p>
<p>Adams:  It is awesome.  I have been lucky to be a part of a lot of family films that have a great linage with Enchanted, Night at the Museum, and now to be a part of this.  This is something I grew up with and was in love with.  When I heard they were doing a new one I was really excited.  Jason sent me a DVD where he and Kermit were inviting me to be part of The Muppets.  It was really cool.  Once Kermit asks you to do something it is really hard to look at him and say, “No.”  So I was hooked.</p>
<p>Has it been an adjustment for you as an actor working with The Muppets?  Do act with them as Muppets or with the puppeteers?  How does that all work?</p>
<p>Adams:  You know, it wasn’t.  It’s amazing when you are doing a scene and you just so accept them as the other actor.  I don’t know if it’s because I grew up with The Muppets.  I don’t know.  It’s actually great because a lot of the times when you are doing films that involve special effects you are acting with nothing.  So in reality they are actually very giving scene partners for being inanimate objects.</p>
<p><span id="more-1999"></span></p>
<p>Was it weird getting used to talking to them while seeing the puppeteering?</p>
<p>Adams:  Yeah.  That took awhile to get used to or when you see them mounted on the tables by themselves.  I did not enjoy that.  But you get used to it and they come to life.  You oddly develop different relationships with different Muppets.</p>
<p>Who are you the friendliest with?</p>
<p>Adams:  Walter just because I’m in most of the scenes with Walter.  Then it is probably Fozzy because he was my favorite as a kid.  So I am always interacting with Fozzy when I get a chance.</p>
<p>Is there one Muppet that just makes you want to laugh?</p>
<p>Adams:  The Moopets are pretty funny.  They make me laugh.  It is different ones at different times.  It just depends on what the scene is.  80s Robot, who guys will meet, makes me laugh.  He is the one driving the car.  He is very funny.</p>
<p>You’ve done a lot of movies, but have you noticed that you have more friends that want to visit you while you are on this set?</p>
<p>Adams:  Yes.  I have a lot of friends.  Not just for The Muppets, but for Jason.  I have a lot of girls who really like Jason.  There have been a lot of visitors.  I have visitors today.  It’s exciting because a lot of people grew up loving The Muppets and it’s nice for them to get to see it.</p>
<p>Jason talked about the challenges of working with The Muppets and the puppeteers with the strings.  He talked about how he was watching himself on occasion.  Did you have any of that to overcome?</p>
<p>Adams:  Sure.  Not once the scene started, but during the set up.  You become very self aware and you can see yourself.  It’s helpful for continuity, but it does take a second to get used to.</p>
<p>Jason said that there was a surprising amount of improvisation.  Are you comfortable with that?</p>
<p>Adams:  Yeah.  I am.  I’ve been luckily enough to work with a lot of people who are great at improv.  Jason is wonderful at it.  All of the puppeteers are amazing at improv.  I am comfortable with it, but I usually don’t do a ton of it.  I don’t know if it’s the way it is written, or if my character is more submissive, or if it’s just my fear of keeping up with the improv artists.</p>
<p>Will any of The Muppets throw out a line?  Will they improvise with you in scenes?</p>
<p>Adams:  They do.  My character is very reactive.  So I just go with the flow.</p>
<p>Jason said that he was able to become a puppeteer with some of the Muppets.  Did you get to do any?</p>
<p>Adams:  I have.  Just for simple stuff.</p>
<p>Can you say for which one?</p>
<p>Adams:  For different ones.  Just when they need somebody, you know?  Today, we did it and it was funny because Jason and I both accomplished what we needed to with our Muppet, and then we forgot to act.  We forgot that we were in the scene.  It has its challenges.</p>
<p>Can you talk about filming in L.A.?  Is that one of the reasons why you agreed to do the movie?</p>
<p>Adams:   It’s a huge benefit for me having just had a baby.  I can be at home and be working with The Muppets, which is such a family friendly set and family friendly film.  She is here today.  I’m sure you’ve seen me flying around with her.  That is a huge plus.  Also, just to get to introduce her to the Muppets is very fun.  She was interacting with Walter today.  It was the first time she had ever interacted with any of the Muppets.  So that was cool.</p>
<p>How involved with you with the musical numbers?</p>
<p>Adams:  I’m somewhat involved in a few of them.  I get in there.</p>
<p>You said that you grew up with the Muppets.  What was your exposure to them?</p>
<p>Adams:  I watched The Muppet Movie obsessively.  I can still pretty much say a lot of the lines and do a pretty mean Fozzie Bear.  It’s actually the worst thing.  They have me do it on the set all of the time and I am so bad of it.  I realize they are laughing at me, but I still enjoy it.</p>
<p>Jason talked about your wide eyed innocence and how you turn that on in your eyes.  Is that something you are conscious about?</p>
<p>Adams:  I come from musical theater and a lot of musical theater is about accepting fantasy.  I think it is more about just being open and accepting.  I think it comes from my musical theater background more than anything else.  You know, musicals were at their height at a time of…the world seemed to be a more innocent place.  We had less information.  That is probably where it comes from more than anything.  It is my experience in theater and more specifically musicals.</p>
<p>Everyone loved Enchanted.  Are you surprised that you guys have not been able to move forward with a sequel?</p>
<p>Adams:  I don’t know.  I haven’t thought a lot about it because I loved the first film so much.  So I always just accept it that if that is the only one then I feel like it is a really great story.  It has a beginning, middle, and end.  I’m really comfortable with that.  If they have a script then I am here.  I haven’t seen anything, though.  I don’t know if I am surprised by that.  I really loved the first one and I think it stands alone.</p>
<p>Is there another musical movie that you would like to do?  Maybe a play that you did on stage?</p>
<p>Adams:  I don’t know.  I would like to do it on stage.  I would like to do more on film.  It would be great if they made them.  They do make some, but not a ton.  I’ve already done Enchanted and I think that is how people see me.  I would like to go on stage and do musicals.</p>
<p>Who is more intimidating to share a scene with:  Meryl Streep or Ms. Piggy?</p>
<p>Adams:  You know, you’re not the first person to ask me that.  I have to say that I can’t win in that answer because I am working with Ms. Piggy.  So if I say, “Meryl Streep” I have see Ms. Piggy tomorrow and it will be like, “So I heard…”.  So I’m just going to plead the 5th.  I know Meryl will be ok, but I don’t want to cross Ms. Piggy.</p>
<p>What has been your favorite scene or part of the shoot that you have done so far?</p>
<p>Adams:  There have been a couple of musical numbers that have been really fun to be a part of.</p>
<p>Are you afraid that they are going to be cut or anything like that?</p>
<p>Adams:  There is a lot of them.  There is a part where Kermit gives a speech and it actually makes me very sentimental.  I’m still hormonal.  It’s having just had a baby.</p>
<p>Are you part of the big scene in Hollywood Blvd?</p>
<p>Adams:   Yeah.</p>
<p>Can you tell us anything about it?</p>
<p>Adams:  I don’t know anything about it.  I know that it is a big dance number.  It’s going to be fun.</p>
<p>After doing a film like Enchanted and now The Muppets, does this mean you get an all access past to Disneyland?</p>
<p>Adams:  From your mouth to god’s ear.  That would be awesome.  I would love it.  Especially with my baby.  We would have a good time.  I love Disneyland.  I have gone there a couple of times since Enchanted and it is a little strange.  It’s not strange for me, but I think it is probably strange for the kids.  We were in Fantasyland and all of a sudden you could see little girls start to get confused.  They were like, “But I just saw Giselle in the big princess dress…but that is Giselle.”  My fiancé was like, “We got to get out of here, Amy.  We got to get out of here.”  I said, “They are little girls.  They are going to be fine.  They are totally safe.  They are just little girls.” [laughs]</p>
<p>Have you run into yourself there?  Would the universe collapse?</p>
<p>Adams: [laughs] No.  I haven’t.  I’ve seen the girl and I don’t know if she still does me there.  But she was at the premiere and she also did the dancing at the Oscars when they did the musical number.  She was the dancer and everyone thought it was me.  It is an eerie resemblance.  She does Giselle better than me I have to say.  She is fantastic.  So it was a little weird seeing somebody capture all of your mannerisms.  It is very strange.</p>
<p>Who is tougher:  Ms. Piggy or the sisters from The Fighter?</p>
<p>Adams:  [laughs]  Well, I’m going to see the sisters from The Fighter really soon, but I’m going to have to say the sisters from The Fighter on that one.   I would like to give it to Piggy, but she is too refined.  She likes to keep a ladylike air.</p>
<p>Speaking of The Fighter, that was a challenge to get to the screen and it turned out incredibly well.  What is your take on the fact of how it has been very accepted by critics and audiences?</p>
<p>Adams:  It is amazing because you don’t know when you are working on any film that it is going to be a sure thing.  So that is an amazing thing.  I’m really happy for Mark [Walhberg] and for the rest of the cast.  It feels really good to be a part of a film that people enjoy not only because it is entertaining but because it moves them and says something.  It just doesn’t happen that often.  So it is exciting to me.  I’m enjoying it.</p>
<p>You’ve reached a point where you have done so many great films.  What is your criteria for what you are looking for in the future?</p>
<p>Adams:  I start out with a list of what I am looking for.  Sometimes something presents itself that is on that list and sometimes something surprises.  I didn’t expect The Fighter to come along.  I had been working straight for 4 years.  I was like, “I’ve done too much.  I need to take a break.” And then The Fighter came along and I couldn’t say no.  I try to stay open.  I have a list of things I am looking for.  You know, I want a great director, or something fun, or some great material.  All of that is there anyway for what I am hoping for.  But I try to stay open so that I can be surprised like I was with The Fighter or The Muppets even.  I didn’t know that I would return to family films.  I love doing them, but after The Fighter I was like “I’ve played this tough girl” and now I’m like, “Oh, no.  I am in ringlets again”  But I couldn’t say no to the Muppets.  I love the Muppets.</p>
<p>Jason mentioned to us that he was thinking of you while writing the script.  Did you know that?</p>
<p>Adams:  I didn’t know the extent to which he had thought of me.  I knew for him to send a personal invite to be a part of it and getting Kermit to be a part of it – I knew that he was serious about it.  I didn’t know that he specifically had me in mind until I after I was on set.  It’s a lot pressure and I didn’t know.  We are having a great time.</p>
<p>Had you seen Flight of the Conchords?  Were you a fan of the show?</p>
<p>Adams:  I hadn’t seen the show actually.  I don’t have HBO so I had not seen it.  As soon as I was offered The Muppets I caught up with it.  I really loved what James [Bobin] was doing.  He is such a competent, creative, and fearless director.  He is really fearless and he really gets the Muppets.</p>
<p>Did you have a moment where you got particularly starstruck when you met one of the Muppets?</p>
<p>Adams:  Yeah.  It’s a strange thing because I am an adult now so I understand that they are Muppets,.  I think when it hit me was when like I was saying when Kermet talks and give a speech at one point.  It was like I was a kid again and I believe everything he was saying.  For a moment I was there.  It was really, really cool.  I’m glad that I’ve had this experience having just had a baby because I feel like I am going to be able to bring so much wonder and awe into my relationship with her when I get to introduce the world to her in that way.</p>
<p>We were talking about the original films and show.  While they were obviously made for kids they were also made for adults with adult humor.  Is that the kind of tone for this film?</p>
<p>Adams:  Yeah.  It is a true family film meaning that I really do believe that adults will love it, teenagers will get something it, and we have a lot of cultural references.  We have a lot of people that people will recognize.  Of course, I think the kids are going to love the Muppets.  There is still that childlike charm to the characters.  But, yeah, it is successful.</p>
<p>In between takes are you talking to the Muppets while they are in character?</p>
<p>Adams:  Sometimes we do.  Walter, especially.  I definitely talk to Walter a lot.  There are some times that Walter is on remote control and they like to pretend that he has a bad attitude then because he doesn’t talk back.  It is a fun set.  You can let your imagination run wild.  I am exposing myself as the dork that I truly am.</p>
<p>You obviously can’t take things home from set.  Hypothetically speaking, can you talk about what you might’ve brought home or what you are planning to take home?</p>
<p>Adams:  I don’t have that sort of like “I need to have everything.”  Jason, I don’t know if you asked that question to Jason, because he wants anything.  Seriously.  He is like, “Look at that ‘o’ in that sign.  I’m going to take it home.  I have a great place for it.”  There was this Kermit face and he is like, “Hey, is that props?  Or is that something that was there?  Or is that something that like…”  Everyday he is wondering how he can acquire it.  He is clearly a single man because his whole house is going to be…[laughs]  If there is a woman involved she is like, “I’m sorry, but we are not going to have a big Muppets logo over our driveway.  That is not going to happen!”  [laughs]</p>
<p>Seriously, though.  Do you plan on taking anything home?</p>
<p>Adams:  No.  I haven’t.  That would be stealing.  They frown upon that in general.  But I think Disney…</p>
<p>I said hypothetically.</p>
<p>Adams:  Hypothetically?  No.  I probably won’t.  I might have gone home accidently with a pair of earrings that I have to tell props about so that I can return them.  I think they are looking for them.</p>
<p>Jason and the producers said how they had a number of friends who said, “Oh, I would love to do a cameo! Get me in!”  Did you have any friends who told you that they wanted to do a cameo?</p>
<p>Adams:  Yeah.  I have a friend that is doing a cameo.  I know a lot of people.  Every time I tell people that I am doing it they are like, “Oh, I love the Muppets!”  and I’m like, “You should be in the Muppets!” and they look at you strangely like, “…really?”  So I keep trying talk everyone into doing it while we are doing the awards circuit.  When they are like, “I love the Muppets!” I’m like, “You should be in the Muppets!  We can find somewhere for you.”  It’s a great thing.  The Muppets have such a great tradition of bringing together all of genres of actors and all ages of actors.  We are keeping with that tradition.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.movieweb.com/" target="_blank">Movieweb</a> just posted an amazing article about the day they got to visit the set of <em>The Muppets</em>.  Sadly, no photos of Amy were featured but there is a section where they talk to Amy. I&#8217;ve posted the first half of the article (the part which has the interview with Amy). The rest can be found at the source.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;I have to say that I can&#8217;t win in that answer because I am working with Miss Piggy. So if I say, Meryl Streep&#8230;I have to see Miss Piggy tomorrow and it will be like, so I heard&#8230;so I&#8217;m just going to plead the fifth. I know Meryl Streep will be ok, but I don&#8217;t want to cross Miss Piggy.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Scheduled for release on November 23rd is The Muppets, a brand new movie featuring these classic characters, written by Jason Segel and Nick Stoller, the writer and director of Forgetting Sarah Marshall, respectively. The music for the movie was written by Flight of the Conchords star Bret McKenzie. And James Bobin, who co-created that popular HBO series, also directs the film.</p>
<p>The movie stars Jason Segel, Amy Adams, Chris Cooper, Rashida Jones, and of course &#8230; Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, Fozzie Bear, Gonzo, Scooter, Rowlf, Swedish Chief, Beaker, Crazy Harry, Sam the Eagle, Animal, and Dr. Teeth and The Electric Mayhem. The Muppets, which is the beloved characters first theatrical release since &#8217;1999s , promises to return Kermit the Frog and the entire gang to the forefront of popular culture once again &#8230; exactly where they belong.</p>
<p>Earlier this year we had the rare opportunity to be invited to the Los Angeles set of The Muppets to speak to the cast and crew about the new film. While on set, we had a chance to talk with Academy Award nominated actress Amy Adams, actor/writer Jason Segel, co-writer Nick Stoller, and director James Bobin. Unfortunately, we did not have a chance to interview any of the actual Muppets, but we did get to see them shooting a scene for the movie.</p>
<p><span id="more-1997"></span></p>
<p>We arrived at the KABC 7 parking lot in Burbank, Ca. just as they were filming a scene with Jason Segel and Amy Adams. The two actors were practically sitting on top of each other in the back seat of an old Rolls Royce surrounded by six different Muppets and of course&#8230;The amazing Muppet Performers. The Muppets who were working in the scene included old favorites like Fozzie Bear, Rowlf, Scooter, and Animal. Also in the scene were two new Muppets including Walter, Jason Segel&#8217;s loveable Muppet sidekick, and a new female Muppet. We hesitate to tell you too much more about her, as your knowledge of her existence could spoil one of the movie&#8217;s major plot points. We can say this: When The Muppets &#8220;came alive&#8221; in the scene&#8230;It was absolutely magical and would make any adult feel like they are ten years old again.</p>
<p>The film&#8217;s plot revolves around Walter, the world&#8217;s biggest Muppet fan who just happens to be a Muppet himself. Walter is visiting Los Angeles with his two friends, Gary (Jason Segel), and His girlfriend Mary (Amy Adams) who are all from Smalltown, USA.</p>
<p>While in the L.A. area, they soon discover that despicable oilman Tex Richman (Oscar winner Chris Cooper) wants to tear down the Muppet Theater to drill for oil recently discovered underneath The Muppets former home. In order to stage &#8220;The Greatest Muppet Telethon Ever&#8221; and raise the $10 million needed to save the theater, Walter, Gary, and Mary must &#8220;get the band back together&#8221; and reunite Kermit the Frog and the whole gang, who have all gone their separate ways.</p>
<p>Kermit the Frog has been living in a self-imposed-exile; Fozzie now performs at a Reno casino, Miss Piggy is a plus-size fashion editor at Vogue Paris, Animal is in a Santa Barbara clinic for anger management, and Gonzo is a high powered plumbing magnate.</p>
<p>After she was done shooting her scene, Amy Adams was kind enough to take a few moments of her time to speak with us. Amy Adams is no stranger to Disney movies, having starred in the beloved family film . But she&#8217;s also known for her dramatic work in films like The Fighter and Junebug, which both earned her Oscar award nominations. The actress began by telling us a little bit about the role she plays in the film. &#8220;I am Mary, who is Gary&#8217;s somewhat neglected girlfriend due to his close relationship with Walter. So I am kind of along for the ride desperately trying to get him to be more romantic. Well&#8230;in a Disney way, you know?&#8221;</p>
<p>We followed up by asking Amy Adams what it means to her personally to be starring in a Muppet movie. &#8220;It is awesome. I have been lucky to be a part of a lot of family films that have a great linage, and now to be a part of this,&#8221; she explained. &#8220;This is something I grew up with and was in love with. When I heard they were doing a new one I was really excited. Jason Segel sent me a DVD where he and Kermit the Frog were inviting me to be part of The Muppets. It was really cool. Once Kermit the Frog asks you to do something it is really hard to look at him and say, no! So I was hooked.&#8221;</p>
<p>Amy Adams continued to discuss what it is like working with The Muppets. &#8220;It&#8217;s amazing when you are doing a scene and you just so accept them as the other actor. I don&#8217;t know if it&#8217;s because I grew up with The Muppets. I don&#8217;t know. It&#8217;s actually great because a lot of the times when you are doing films that involve special effects you are acting with nothing. So in reality they are actually very giving scene partners for being inanimate objects,&#8221; she laughed. The actress went on to talk about working with the Muppet Performers. &#8220;That took awhile to get used to. But you get used to it and The Muppets come to life. You oddly develop different relationships with different Muppets.&#8221; Of course we then asked the actress which Muppets she is most friendly with. &#8220;Walter just because I&#8217;m in most of the scenes with Walter. Then it is probably Fozzie because he was my favorite as a kid,&#8221; Amy Adams explained. &#8220;So I am always interacting with Fozzie when I get a chance.&#8221;</p>
<p>Amy Adams also revealed that she has occasionally worked as a Muppet performer on this film and she talked about the challenge of doing that while she is also acting in a scene. &#8220;Today, we did it and it was funny because Jason Segel and I both accomplished what we needed to with our Muppet, and then we forgot to act. We forgot that we were in the scene. It has its challenges.&#8221; The actress also discussed the luxuries of shooting in Los Angeles where she lives, rather than on location. &#8220;It&#8217;s a huge benefit for me having just had a baby. I can be at home and be working with The Muppets, which is such a family friendly set and family friendly film. She is here today. I&#8217;m sure you&#8217;ve seen me flying around with her. That is a huge plus. Also, just to get to introduce her to The Muppets is very fun. She was interacting with Walter today. It was the first time she had ever interacted with any of The Muppets. So that was cool.&#8221;</p>
<p>The actress next discussed her personal history and love for The Muppets. &#8220;I watched The Muppet Movie obsessively. I can still pretty much say a lot of the lines and do a pretty mean Fozzie Bear. It&#8217;s actually the worst thing. They have me do it on the set all of the time and I am so bad at it. I realize they are laughing at me, but I still enjoy it.&#8221; She continued to talk about what its like to act opposite The Muppets in a movie. &#8220;I come from musical theater and a lot of musical theater is about accepting fantasy. I think it is more about just being open and accepting. I think it comes from my musical theater background more than anything else. You know, musicals were at their height at a time of&#8230;the world seemed to be a more innocent place. We had less information. That is probably where it comes from more than anything. It is my experience in theater and more specifically musicals.&#8221;</p>
<p>We then asked the actress a very difficult question: Who is more intimidating to share a scene with, Meryl Streep or Miss Piggy? &#8220;You know, you&#8217;re not the first person to ask me that,&#8221; she laughed. &#8220;I have to say that I can&#8217;t win in that answer because I am working with Miss Piggy. So if I say, Meryl Streep&#8230;I have to see Miss Piggy tomorrow and it will be like, so I heard&#8230;so I&#8217;m just going to plead the fifth. I know Meryl Streep will be ok, but I don&#8217;t want to cross Miss Piggy.&#8221; The Muppet films have always featured cameos from celebrity actors and performers so we asked Amy Adams if she&#8217;s had any luck getting her fellow actors and actresses to do cameos in the film. &#8220;Yeah. I have a friend that is doing a cameo. I know a lot of people. Every time I tell people that I am doing it they are like, oh, I love The Muppets! I&#8217;m like you should be in The Muppets! We can find something for you. They look at you strangely like&#8230;really? It&#8217;s a great thing. The Muppets have such a great tradition of bringing together all of genres of actors and all ages of actors. We are keeping with that tradition.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s a strange thing because I am an adult now so I understand that they are Muppets,&#8221; Amy Adams said about working on the film. &#8220;I think when it hit me was when Kermit the Frog talks and give a speech at one point. It was like I was a kid again and I believe everything he was saying. For a moment I was there. It was really, really cool. I&#8217;m glad that I&#8217;ve had this experience having just had a baby because I feel like I am going to be able to bring so much wonder and awe into my relationship with her when I get to introduce the world to her in that way.&#8221; The Muppets have always appealed to children and adults of all ages and we asked the actress if that tone continues through this movie. &#8220;Yeah. It is a true family film meaning that I really do believe that adults will love it, teenagers will get something out of it, and we have a lot of cultural references. We have a lot of people that people will recognize. Of course, I think the kids are going to love The Muppets. There is still that childlike charm to the characters.&#8221;</p>
<p>Finally, we asked Amy Adams if she ever catches herself talking to The Muppets in between takes when the camera is not rolling. &#8220;Sometimes we do,&#8221; she admitted. Walter especially. I definitely talk to Walter a lot. There are some times that Walter is on remote control and they like to pretend that he has a bad attitude then because he doesn&#8217;t talk back. It is a fun set. You can let your imagination run wild. I am exposing myself as the dork that I truly am. I didn&#8217;t know that I would return to doing family films but I couldn&#8217;t say no to The Muppets. I love The Muppets.&#8221;</p>
<p>After we finished speaking with Ms. Amy Adams, we had a quick opportunity to talk with director James Bobin while he was setting up for the next shot.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.time.com/" target="_blank">Time</a> posted a fantastic article about Amy&#8217;s upcoming movie <em>The Muppets</em>.  The primary focus of the article is on Jason Segel and the Muppets themselves but I thought it was an excellent read and something us Amy fans should all check out.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;You kind of sign on to the man-child thing when you work with Jason.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>I&#8217;m not sure whether the vibe is coming from the Muppets or from Jason Segel, but everyone is really happy on this set. Actually, I&#8217;m not sure there&#8217;s much of a difference between the Muppets and Segel, the 31-year-old star and co-writer of the new Muppets movie (in theaters Nov. 23). Between takes, Segel out-Muppets the actual Muppets, his grin still Kermit-wide long after the real Kermit the Frog closes his mouth and collapses around puppeteer Steve Whitmire&#8217;s hand. In the right opera balcony above the stage — which looks a lot like the original Muppet Show set — crusty Muppet critics Statler and Waldorf shake their heads disapprovingly at Segel&#8217;s enthusiasm. In the left opera balcony, the movie&#8217;s producers shake their heads too. &#8220;If you could peel away Jason&#8217;s skin,&#8221; says producer Todd Lieberman, &#8220;there might be felt underneath.&#8221;</p>
<p><span id="more-1984"></span></p>
<p>Segel took a lot of meetings with studios after the success of the Judd Apatow-produced comedy Forgetting Sarah Marshall (2008), which Segel starred in and wrote. He played a frustrated puppet-musical playwright who, in the movie&#8217;s most famous scene, gets dumped by his girlfriend while he&#8217;s full-frontally naked. When Segel got to Disney, he pitched his idea for a movie with the Muppets, who had lost their way in the decades following the 1990 death at age 53 of Jim Henson, the creator of the Muppets and the original voice of Kermit. They hadn&#8217;t had a theatrical release since the less-than-blockbuster Muppets from Space in 1999. &#8220;I had come off of all these R-rated Judd Apatow movies,&#8221; says Segel, who also appeared in Apatow&#8217;s Knocked Up. &#8220;They kind of chuckled. I think they thought I was kidding.&#8221;</p>
<p>But when Segel said he wanted to make a Muppet movie, he meant it. The script for The Muppets is sweet, old-fashioned and smart, much like the beloved first three Muppet movies. Segel plays Gary, a superpositive, supernaive guy from a Pleasantville-type town who goes to Los Angeles with his girlfriend (Amy Adams) to meet the Muppets, only to find they have disbanded. Miss Piggy is in Paris, where she is the plus-size editor of French Vogue. Gonzo runs a plumbing company in upstate New York, Animal is in rehab for anger management, Fozzie is in Vegas in a Muppets cover band called the Moopets, and Kermit is in Howard Hughes–esque exile in his Bel Air mansion.</p>
<p>&#8220;They&#8217;re all pretty lonely and miss their friends,&#8221; says Nicholas Stoller, who directed Forgetting Sarah Marshall and co-wrote The Muppets with Segel. &#8220;If this were real life, it wouldn&#8217;t work. It would be weird Facebook friend requests from people you went to junior high with.&#8221; But these being the Muppets — and this being Segel&#8217;s lifelong fantasy — they get back together to put on a show and save their old studio from Tex Richman (Chris Cooper), an evil baron who wants the oil underneath it. On the set today, Cooper yells at Kermit with such ferocity and stomps so convincingly around the stage off camera that some mistakenly think he&#8217;s spending the entire shoot in character as the villain.</p>
<p>There are moments when you get the feeling someone is going to walk in and tell everyone the Muppets aren&#8217;t real and a lot of people are going to cry.</p>
<p><strong>Under the Influence</strong><br />
For a large group of comedians who grew up in the 1970s and &#8217;80s, &#8220;the Muppets were the gateway drug to comedy,&#8221; Stoller says. &#8220;You&#8217;d try it, and you&#8217;d want more of it, so you&#8217;d try Monty Python and Saturday Night Live. Then you&#8217;d fall down the rabbit hole. They&#8217;re so self-aware, and there are jokes flying everywhere. They&#8217;re like The Simpsons without cynicism.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Watching The Muppet Show shaped what I find funny,&#8221; says Muppets director James Bobin, a co-creator of HBO&#8217;s Flight of the Conchords, a show about two goofy New Zealand rock singers. (One of those singers, Bret McKenzie, wrote most of the songs in the movie.) Bobin grew up in the U.K., where The Muppet Show was shot and is thought of as an honorary member of the British canon, inflected with a Monty Python–like absurdity. &#8220;There has to be a time when stupid jokes and warmth and puns come back,&#8221; Bobin says. &#8220;It&#8217;s a change of direction.&#8221;</p>
<p>The Muppets&#8217; producers compiled a list of more than 100 actors and singers who wanted to be in the film. Jack Black, Neil Patrick Harris, Zach Galifianakis, Ed Helms, Kathy Griffin and Mickey Rooney, among others, made the cut. (Christian Louboutin built platform stilettos for Miss Piggy, and Zac Posen made her a low-cut purple gown.) They created a celebrity-telethon scene so they could work everyone in. &#8220;We wanted an Elmo cameo, but that wasn&#8217;t going to happen,&#8221; Stoller says. &#8220;There&#8217;s too much money resting on that guy.&#8221;</p>
<p>It&#8217;s been a while since there has been money resting on the Muppets: the past 20 years haven&#8217;t been kind to them. There were direct-to-DVD films. Miss Piggy did Pizza Hut commercials. Felt gathered dust. &#8220;I&#8217;m probably a bigger fan of what I grew up watching than what I&#8217;ve been a part of,&#8221; says Eric Jacobson, who has played Miss Piggy (as well as Fozzie Bear, Animal and Sam the Eagle) since 2001. But a real-world need for Muppets kept simmering. Unauthorized &#8220;Sad Kermit&#8221; videos — in which a Muppet impostor crooned depressing rock songs, did drugs and performed sexual acts he didn&#8217;t seem all that excited about performing — became a viral sensation in 2007. In the past couple of years, the legit Muppets produced a series of cooking shows with chef Cat Cora and some music videos for classic rock songs. Their mock-serious take on Queen&#8217;s &#8220;Bohemian Rhapsody&#8221; has racked up more than 20 million YouTube views.</p>
<p>Even a snarky gossipmonger like Perez Hilton, a recent visitor to the set, gets a little Muppety around the Muppets. &#8220;He was a really nice guy,&#8221; says Walter, a boyish new Muppet, who in the movie is Gary&#8217;s best friend from their small town and likewise idolizes the Muppets. &#8220;Perez asked me if I was involved in any scandals. I said, &#8216;Not any that I know, but I&#8217;m sure you&#8217;ll tell me if I have.&#8217; &#8221;</p>
<p>Surprisingly, it&#8217;s not that strange to interview a Muppet. Peter Linz, who plays Walter, doesn&#8217;t feel weird talking to me with his hand in my face. So I don&#8217;t either. The rule is that you have to ask to interview the Muppet and its handler at separate times, even though I can totally see that Linz&#8217;s hand is up there.</p>
<p>In fact, sometimes it&#8217;s weirder looking right into Segel&#8217;s wide-open, happy eyes. Even with all this Muppet love on set, Segel&#8217;s Muppetphilia seems a little intense. &#8220;I have somebody on watch outside my trailer because he&#8217;s so into the Muppets and moi,&#8221; Miss Piggy says. &#8220;I&#8217;m thinking of getting a restraining order.&#8221; Amy Adams can sing every lyric of every song I can name from 1979&#8242;s The Muppet Movie — and even she was freaked out. &#8220;You kind of sign on to the man-child thing when you work with Jason,&#8221; she says. &#8220;The only creepy thing is the idea of whoever marries him. Every time we have a new thing on the set, he says, &#8216;Do we own that? Do I own that? Can I own that?&#8217; I told him, &#8216;You can&#8217;t have the Muppet Show sign over your driveway. You&#8217;ll never get married.&#8217; &#8221; At one of his first meetings at Disney, the executives brought out some Muppets, and Segel immediately stopped paying attention, putting a Muppet on his hand and playing with it until Stoller got him to stop.</p>
<p>Segel says he has watched The Muppet Movie more than 50 times — and that was before he even thought of pitching a new version. &#8220;I relate to the Muppets on a very deep level,&#8221; he says. &#8220;They care about being nice to people. I don&#8217;t really care about much besides being nice.&#8221; For example, when a fan asked Segel to officiate at his wedding, Segel got a license online and performed the ceremony on The Tonight Show. He is thoughtful, cheery and calm and wants to make comedy that&#8217;s much the same way, if that&#8217;s possible.</p>
<p>It hasn&#8217;t been for a long time. &#8220;There was a Christopher Guest mocking comedy wave, a Farrelly brothers gross-out comedy wave, a cringe-factor wave,&#8221; Segel says. &#8220;The Muppets stuck around by not being cynical.&#8221; And now Disney is spending $50 million on a movie with singing and puppets and old friends saving the day by putting on a show! Either Segel knows something about America that the rest of us don&#8217;t, or he&#8217;s about to go back to full-frontal nudity.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Filming has officially begun!  I will keep scouring my sources looking for on the set photos but from all the reports I&#8217;ve read, they&#8217;re keeping the set locations pretty private so we may not see any.  As for the release date, I hope they&#8217;re able to do it. Releasing in November/December is prime time for awards season.</p>
<blockquote><p>In an article about the film in the Vallejo Times-Herald (via Cigarettes &amp; Red Vines) producer JoAnne Sellar told the paper that the film “is expected to open in late 2012.” Now let’s not go booking time off work just yet. That’s currently the plan, but obviously things can change and nothing is locked down just yet. That said, given that this is pretty much a no-brainer for an awards season run, and with a year and a half to work with, making that deadline shouldn’t be too hard.</p>
<p>Perhaps more interestingly, Sellar denied that the film had any connection with Scientology or L. Ron Hubbard, telling the paper, “It’s a World War II drama. It’s about a drifter after World War II.” Of course, we know that’s only part of the story. Starring Philip Seymour Hoffman, Joaquin Phoenix, Amy Adams, Jesse Plemons, David Warshofsky, Laura Dern, Lena Endre, Rami Malek and Madisen Beaty the film centers on Lancaster Dodd (Hoffman), who returns from WWII and starts a religion (not unlike Scientology), taking Freddie Sutton (Phoenix), a former alcoholic, under his wing.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.stylist.co.uk/" target="_blank">Stylist</a> has posted a great new interview with Amy which also included a new photo of our girl.  <del datetime="2011-06-09T00:25:19+00:00">The photo has been added to the gallery and</del> you can read the interview below.</p>
<p><strong>Edit:</strong> As Mac pointed out in the comments, the photo is actually from Amy&#8217;s 2010 appearance on Jimmy Fallon. I thought it looked familiar but I didn&#8217;t look in the talk show appearances section for it. Thank you Mac for letting me know!</p>
<blockquote><p><a href="http://enchantingamy.com/images/thumbnails.php?album=621"><img class="alignleft" src="http://enchantingamy.com/images/albums/tv/2010%20Talk%20Shows/12%2009%20Jimmy%20Fallon%20Photos/thumb_mq_002.jpg" alt="" width="105" height="130" /></a>In person, Amy Adams is petite, demure, softly spoken; everything you might expect her to be. Since breaking out in Junebug in 2005 as a happy-go-lucky chatterbox who gives birth to a stillborn baby (a heart-rending role that saw her score her first Oscar nomination), the 36-year-old actress, raised in a Mormon family of seven children in Colorado, has made a habit of playing twee but lovable characters. From a fairytale princess in Disney fantasy Enchanted in 2007, to a young nun alongside Meryl Streep and Philip Seymour Hoffman in 2008’s Doubt (cue Oscar nomination two).</p>
<p>But it was her star turn in The Fighter earlier this year, in which she played Charlene, the straight-talking girlfriend of real-life boxer Micky “Irish” Ward (a woman who brawls, swears and takes no crap) that proved she’s an actress who has bite too. Her brilliant performance not only landed her Oscar nomination three and a nod from BAFTA for the role (she lost out to her co-star, Melissa Leo, who plays Micky’s overbearing mother) but earmarked her to the industry as somebody who can play tough girls just as well as the nice ones. Next year she’ll star in On The Road as the drug-addicted wife of Viggo Mortensen’s character Old Bull Lee before stepping into the shoes of feisty journalist Lois Lane in the new Superman film, Man Of Steel. Just to demonstrate that she’ll continue to mix it up though, both films will hit cinemas after her role in the new Muppets movie.</p></blockquote>
<p><span id="more-1973"></span></p>
<p>Wearing a simple but chic Black Halo dress, Louboutins and no make-up when she sits down to talk to Stylist at the Four Seasons in Los Angeles, Amy is both charming and unassuming. She’s also an open interviewee, heavily influenced by her family (“My mum, she’s a pusher. You say you’re scared and she’s like, ‘That’s interesting. Do it anyway,’” she says) and happily settled with her actor fiancé Darren Le Gallo and their one-year-old daughter, Aviana.</p>
<p>Most of all, what stands out is her wicked sense of humour; although gentle and sweet, Amy Adams can be dark and funny. It’s another indication that she’s not one-dimensional and is destined for the sort of career that Meryl Streep (with whom she has worked twice already, in Doubt and 2009’s Julie &amp; Julia) has enjoyed: one with longevity and brilliant character roles.</p>
<p><strong>The Fighter was a pivotal role for you – what attracted you to it?</strong></p>
<p>I loved the character, Charlene. She’s the kind of woman who’s tough; you’re going to meet a wall and then have to break it down and she’s not going to give you any clues on how to do it, so you’ve got to figure it out yourself. But when you get through she’s actually very loyal.</p>
<p><strong>Are you a loyal person?</strong></p>
<p>I have a lot of professional loyalty, and a lot of familial loyalty. I take it pretty far and it’s hard for me to cut someone out of my life when something isn’t working – I’ve had to do that in the past and it’s really not fun. I don’t enjoy that at all. It’s almost easier to take the abuse [laughs].</p>
<p><strong>Boxer Micky Ward – who the film centres around – has a huge and dysfunctional family and you’re from a large family. Could you relate at all?</strong></p>
<p>I’m one of seven kids, so I was like, “Yeah, that’s about right” [laughs]. His family is like mine but without the accent. I met them and they were really inviting, but definitely characters. I mean, here we were, dramatising their life, and it could have gone one of two ways, so we were lucky.</p>
<p><strong>You narrowly missed out on an Oscar this year for Best Supporting Actress to your Fighter co-star Melissa Leo, and your other co-star, Christian Bale, won Best Supporting Actor. What was it like working with such a lauded and talented cast?</strong></p>
<p>I’d met Christian before actually – when we screentested for Batman [which Amy didn’t end up starring in] – we read opposite each other. So I knew the power he had as an actor, and when someone is that powerful, if you surrender yourself to it, it elevates you. I felt that with Mark Wahlberg and Melissa too, when somebody is that committed… I knew they were going to bring it, so I thought I had better bring it too.</p>
<p><strong>Charlene is opinionated. Are you?</strong></p>
<p>Yes, very. I’m actually working on not being as openly opinionated about things, but I have definitely said to friends, “I don’t think this is working and I don’t think your friends are really nice to you and I think you should know that.”</p>
<p><strong>What are you like when you’re angry?</strong></p>
<p>You’d have to ask my fiancé; it’s probably not pretty [laughs]. I have different ways of getting mad, but I always know that going for a walk and leaving the situation is very good. Playing Charlene was fun because there are so many times in life when you just want to get in a good brawl. And a lot of the roles I have played so far have been so subdued.</p>
<p><strong>Are you looking forward to playing more dramatic characters?</strong></p>
<p>Yeah, because I’m usually the one in the corner looking scared. In The Fighter it was nice to have that outlet because I normally go home from work and I’m all pent up. Like in Doubt [where Amy played a nun], I would just come home and feel like “Aah” [makes face] because my character never really got to have that moment of release.</p>
<p><strong>How are you dealing with life as a mother?</strong></p>
<p>I’m tired [laughs] but I’m good. I’m really enjoying it. I’m not as clever as I once was, I forget words… They say ‘baby brain’ is just a temporary thing… Is it? I’m afraid to make any big life decisions at this point. I’ve not had eight hours’ sleep in over a year, which I’m sure many people can empathise with, but you know, I really, really like it. I don’t feel like it’s a big sacrifice – I feel much happier with myself and other people since having a child.</p>
<p><strong>How has becoming parents changed your relationship?</strong></p>
<p>The loyalty to him is different. I mean when you have a child you realise no matter what happens with us, we are in each others’ lives forever. Whereas before it would be about winning the argument, now it’s about solving the problem. We are like, “No, we’ve got to work through this because we are not going to bring this energy into our home.” It’s definitely changed, and he’s awesome with her. He’s right in there changing nappies, and that’s very attractive. And she adores him.</p>
<p><strong>Has becoming a parent changed the way you work?</strong></p>
<p>Well, I think it’s going to be project specific from now on. If [Aviana] seems like the kind of kid who’s really flexible and can come on set, let’s do it, let’s see the world. If she’s someone who needs more of a home base, I’m going to have to sacrifice something. It depends. I don’t know her well enough yet.</p>
<p><strong>How do you make time for yourself?</strong></p>
<p>We try and do ‘date night’ once a week. It can get a little busy sometimes but we try. What’s funny is we just end up talking about [Aviana] anyway, which I hear a lot of people do. We are just so impressed with her, she’s really cool.</p>
<p><strong>Do you have a wedding date set?</strong></p>
<p>No. We had them set in the past and they’ve come and gone! We are planning it, we just don’t know when exactly… Is there anything from your own upbringing that you want to pass on to Aviana? Being polite and sharing because she may be an only child. I can’t say for certain but she’s not going to have seven siblings [laughs]. So I’d like her to learn how to work for what she wants, I don’t want to spoil her. It’s going to be hard.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Thank you Mac for pointing me to this wonderful interview that Mtv posted.  For those that are not aware, Margot played Lois Lane in the Christopher Reeve Superman films in the late 70&#8242;s and early 80&#8242;s.  This is the Superman I grew up with and Margot is who I picture when I hear the name Lois Lane.</p>
<blockquote><p>I think the casting is just inspired. The director sounds very, very bright. So clearly there will be something interesting going on.</p></blockquote>
<p>MTV NEWS: What do you think about Amy Adams as Lois Lane?</p>
<p>MARGOT KIDDER: She&#8217;s a brilliant, wonderful actress! She&#8217;s incredible. She&#8217;s an extraordinarily accomplished young lady — and gorgeous and full of energy and spirit. She&#8217;s so different from part to part, it&#8217;s going to be really interesting to see what she does with Lois.</p>
<p>MTV: What&#8217;s the key to playing a great Lois Lane?</p>
<p>KIDDER: Gosh, I think Amy Adams is so much better an actress than I am that I wouldn&#8217;t even for a second presume to give her any advice on the subject at all!</p>
<p>MTV: Do not sell your Lois Lane short!</p>
<p>KIDDER: Well, thank you. But she&#8217;s amazing, this girl.</p>
<p><span id="more-1836"></span></p>
<p>MTV: For you, Lois was really the role that put you in the spotlight. Amy Adams is obviously much more established. Do you think there&#8217;s anything to the fact that such an iconic character should be a relative unknown?</p>
<p>KIDDER: I don&#8217;t think so. We act for a living, so a good actor is going to make you believe that&#8217;s her. So I don&#8217;t think that really matters. And she gets to act with that divine Henry — how do you pronounce his last name?</p>
<p>MTV: Cavill, like &#8220;travel.&#8221;</p>
<p>KIDDER: Oh my god, he&#8217;s heaven. He&#8217;s heaven! He&#8217;s got a sexuality! As wonderful as Christopher [Reeve] was — and he was wonderful and perfect — he was not exactly a big steaming heap of sexuality. And this Cavill really is. I loved him on &#8220;The Tudors.&#8221; I couldn&#8217;t get enough of him. I think the casting is just inspired. The director sounds very, very bright. So clearly there will be something interesting going on. And hopefully, they&#8217;ll get the same kind of wonderful, funny dialogue from Tom Mankiewicz for ours.</p>
<p>MTV: Some people are saying Amy Adams is a little too old for Henry Cavill.</p>
<p>KIDDER: They are? Who cares! What a bizarre thing to be concerned about. She certainly doesn&#8217;t look older than him.</p>
<p>MTV: What did you think of Kate Bosworth as Lois?</p>
<p>KIDDER: I thought she was delightful and underrated. Because we got Tom Mankiewicz — he did more than polish the script, he really did most of the writing on &#8220;Superman&#8221; and &#8220;Superman II&#8221; — I got the benefit of all the clever, can&#8217;t-miss lines that he wrote for Lois. Very witty and sort of &#8217;30s. I don&#8217;t know that they gave [Bosworth's] Lois as much of a sense of humor. But I thought she was terrific.</p>
<p>MTV: At the end of the day, is that what you think makes Lois great on screen — those witty, funny lines?</p>
<p>KIDDER: It&#8217;s the old adage and it&#8217;s always true. You can make a bad movie from a good script, but you can&#8217;t make a good movie from a bad script. It&#8217;s all about the writing. There&#8217;s that rather rude joke about the Polish girl who went to Hollywood and slept with the writer, and that was me! When someone told me the joke, I didn&#8217;t get it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.comingsoon.net/" target="_blank">ComingSoon</a> just posted a fantastic exclusive interview with Amy and her <em>Muppets</em> co-star Jason Segal. And according to the interview, it looks as though we have at least one confirmed(?) event to look forward to this summer: Amy&#8217;s first ever appearance at Comic-Con where there will be a presentation for <em>The Muppets</em>.</p>
<blockquote><p>I did not like that paparazzi was getting pictures of the Muppets being puppeted because I feel like part of the fun is for kids not to ever see that.</p></blockquote>
<p>One of the things we were most excited about seeing at this year&#8217;s Disney presentation at CinemaCon was the first footage from their holiday release, The Muppets, because for so many people, the Muppets have come to represent everything good in the world&#8211;childhood, fun, humor&#8211;and the idea of them being brought back to the big screen after such a long time has made a lot of adults feel like kids again.</p>
<p>The footage shown during the presentation was a quick montage of scenes that weren&#8217;t quite in shape to be considered a &#8220;teaser trailer,&#8221; more of a sizzle reel that mostly focused on the video campaign that Disney and the Jim Henson Company have been doing to get the Muppets back into the public eye, especially for younger audiences who wouldn&#8217;t be familiar with &#8220;The Muppet Show&#8221; or some of the earlier movies.</p>
<p>Jason Segel, the brainchild behind reviving the Muppets, being a lifelong fan, and his leading lady Amy Adams were on-hand to talk about their love for the Muppets and what went into making the movie, which follows Segel&#8217;s character Gary and his puppet roommate Walter, both of whom are giant Muppets fans who set out to find them after they&#8217;ve split up in hopes of reuniting them in order to save the studio, finding Fozzie Bear performing in Reno and Miss Piggy in Paris and others in locations they were hesitant to reveal.</p>
<p><span id="more-1828"></span></p>
<p>Never afraid to be in a movie that breaks out into song, Adams mentioned there are also four musical numbers by Bret McKenzie from &#8220;Flight of the Conchords&#8221; &#8211; the movie is directed by James Bobin who also directed both seasons of the Conchords HBO series, so he&#8217;s infinitely familiar with doing musical numbers, but there will also be a number of Muppets classics in there.</p>
<p>After the presentation, ComingSoon.net sat down with Segel and Adams to talk about their Muppets experiences. (And before you ask, we did ask Adams about recently being awarded the role of Lois Lane in Zack Snyder&#8217;s upcoming Superman movie and she graciously brushed us off.)</p>
<p>ComingSoon.net: You&#8217;ve been doing Muppets stuff for so long and I know this has been a lifelong dream for you to do this.<br />
Jason Segel: Yeah, yeah.</p>
<p>CS: What was it like the first day you guys were on set with the Muppets? I now you had these table reads, but was it really hard to focus on your acting when you had all these Muppets you&#8217;ve known for so long there with you?<br />
Amy Adams: For me, I have to say the most surreal thing was, it wasn&#8217;t necessarily working with them, because you accept them so quickly as co-stars &#8211; it&#8217;s like watching and loving Jason&#8217;s work and then getting to work with him, but it&#8217;s true. Then you accept him as the character he&#8217;s playing, so that was part of it. But to see them when they&#8217;re not animated was really upsetting.<br />
Segel: Yeah, yeah.</p>
<p>CS: You mean, between takes, all the puppeteers were all smoking and drinking?<br />
Adams: Nooooo!<br />
Segel: When they&#8217;re not being used, they&#8217;re in a cupboard on hooks.<br />
Adams: That, I didn&#8217;t like that and I still don&#8217;t like that.<br />
Segel: They&#8217;re very, very protective of that state of the Muppets that they will not allow it to be photographed. If a child is on the set, they&#8217;re not allowed to go anywhere near it because they don&#8217;t want to spoil the illusion, but even as an adult it breaks your heart a little bit.<br />
Adams: That was the thing. That was the only thing about working with them that was weird, was not seeing them animated because I&#8217;ve so come to love them.</p>
<p>CS: I&#8217;m not sure I could deal with that either. It seems really creepy.<br />
Segel: Yeah, it&#8217;s very, very sad and weird.<br />
Adams: Yeah, it&#8217;s a crazy thing.<br />
Segel: Yeah, they would put Walter on his stand and yeah, it&#8217;s very peculiar.<br />
Adams: I did not like it. I did not like it at all.</p>
<p>CS: Walter is a new character. Was that something you designed yourself?<br />
Segel: Yeah, Walter was born in my brain.<br />
Adams: I did not like robotic Walter either.<br />
Segel: (Laughs) Yeah, Yeah, Nick Stoller and I created Walter. He kind of represents the audience in a lot of ways, the new young audience. He is naïve and young and just has a wide-eyed love of the Muppets.<br />
Adams: Very earnest.<br />
Segel: Yeah, very earnest and would never say a bad thing about anybody, so he in a lotta ways is the naïve narrator. He&#8217;s the eyes of the audience.</p>
<p>CS: I know you&#8217;ve done some puppeteering yourself, so are you actually doing Walter?<br />
Segel: No, I didn&#8217;t do Walter. Walter is being operated by a guy called Peter Linz, not only operated, operated and acted by Peter Linz who just did an absolutely amazing job.<br />
Adams: He did.<br />
Segel: He&#8217;s a fantastic actor and an amazing puppeteer.</p>
<p>CS: You actually wrote this. I assume it&#8217;s going to be PG, so how hard is it to turn down the R-rated sensibilities you&#8217;ve done so well in order to do something that will be good for kids but still fun for your fans?<br />
Segel: It wasn&#8217;t hard for me at all. I have a huge part of my mind that is irrevocably stuck there. I was telling her, the last book I read was &#8220;Winnie the Pooh.&#8221;</p>
<p>CS: Did you see the footage earlier? It killed!<br />
Segel: I did, yeah. I love kids&#8217; stuff. I have since I was a kid, but I&#8217;ve never grew out of it.</p>
<p>CS: One thing really exciting you mentioned was the musical numbers, and you have Bret from &#8220;Flight of the Conchords&#8221; and James directing. I&#8217;m curious, what kind of musical numbers are those compared to the Muppet classics, which are so memorable and cheerful?<br />
Adams: Well, there&#8217;s a couple like that. I can&#8217;t give too much away, but there are a couple of full-scale production numbers. That&#8217;s really tricky working with Muppets, doing the production numbers, but you also have the very heartfelt completely sincere numbers. Yeah, they&#8217;re really fun.<br />
Segel: It&#8217;s lovely.<br />
Adams: They&#8217;re really fun. Then we bring back some of the classics&#8230; without naming them.</p>
<p>CS: I know you did a lot of green screen stuff on stages. Did you do stuff on locations as well? Do you have a lot of people going, &#8220;Oh my god, it&#8217;s the Muppets,&#8221; and freaking out?<br />
Segel: We actually shot more locations than anyone expected.<br />
Adams: Yeah.<br />
Segel: It would&#8217;ve been much easier to shoot everything on set because you can elevate the stages and all that.<br />
Adams: You know what&#8217;s hard, too? I did not like that paparazzi was getting pictures of the Muppets being puppeted because I feel like part of the fun is for kids not to ever see that.<br />
Segel: Right.<br />
Adams: So it bothered me. It was like when parents tell their kids I&#8217;m Giselle when I have no makeup in the elevator of the hotel. I&#8217;m like, &#8220;No, no, please let them have the fantasy&#8221; so I didn&#8217;t like that. That&#8217;s something I didn&#8217;t like about working on locations.<br />
Segel: People got a glimpse behind the curtain.<br />
Adams: Yeah!<br />
Segel: I think one of the reasons we did it is a lot of the way &#8220;The Muppets Take Manhattan&#8221; captured New York, we wanted this to capture LA. It was a very LA kinda story and LA is one of the characters for sure.</p>
<p>CS: I&#8217;m bummed you didn&#8217;t bring any Muppets here with you today.<br />
Segel: Well, yeah.<br />
Adams: We&#8217;re not the bosses of them.</p>
<p>CS: Congratulations on the gig as Lois Lane.<br />
Adams: Oh, thank you so much. Thank you.</p>
<p>CS: Do you have a favorite Lois Lane?<br />
Adams: Me? (Laughs) No, I actually will have more to say about that in a year and a half.</p>
<p>CS: A year and a half? Maybe they&#8217;ll bring you to Comic-Con.<br />
Adams: Oh my gosh, I haven&#8217;t even thought about that, Comic-Con.<br />
Segel: Yeah, you&#8217;ll get to do Comic-Con for the Muppets.<br />
Adams: Oh, we&#8217;re going to do that?<br />
Segel: Yeah.</p>
<p>CS: There you go. Awesome.<br />
Adams: I&#8217;ve never been. I&#8217;ve always wanted to go.</p>
<p>You heard it here first, the Muppets are taking Comic-Con!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Not according to Mtv!!</p>
<blockquote><p>“[Lois] won a Pulitzer and kinda given up on guys by the time she meets Superman,” Millar continued “She can’t be a 25-year-old.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>The internet has been buzzing this week over the announcement that Oscar-nominated actress Amy Adams will play Lois Lane in Zack Snyder&#8217;s upcoming &#8220;Superman: Man of Steel&#8221; movie. Overall, fans seem to love the casting &#8212; but if there was one negative to be found, it was a frequent complaint regarding the age difference (nine years) between Adams and her on-screen Superman, Henry Cavill.</p>
<p>But does it matter?</p>
<p>An older woman dating a younger man certainly isn&#8217;t unheard of, but the nine-year age difference &#8212; Adams is 36, Cavill is 28 &#8212; has struck a certain portion of fandom as, well&#8230; a little odd.</p>
<p><span id="more-1816"></span></p>
<p>However, some creators who know their way around a Superman story consider that age difference a positive.</p>
<p>“Can I just say that Amy Adams as Lois is inspired casting?&#8221; tweeted comics writer Mark Millar. &#8220;She’s the best big-name actress of her generation and Lois SHOULD be in her thirties.”</p>
<p>Millar goes further by delving into the character&#8217;s rich history &#8212; fans will remember Lane debuted in the same &#8220;Action Comics&#8221; #1 that Superman did.</p>
<p>“[Lois] won a Pulitzer and kinda given up on guys by the time she meets Superman,” Millar continued “She can’t be a 25-year-old. She needs to be formidable and Donner got this when he cast 30-something Kidder opposite 24-year-old Reeve. It’s why ['Superman Returns' actress] Kate Bosworth didn’t work.”</p>
<p>Although many pairs of actors have played the couple of Clark Kent/Superman and Lois Lane over the years, the most iconic is the original &#8220;Superman&#8221; movies&#8217; Christopher Reeve and Margot Kidder. As Millar states, Kidder was four years older than Reeve in real life.</p>
<p>This carried on to the &#8217;90s TV show &#8220;Lois &amp; Clark,&#8221; which had Dean Cain star as Superman opposite Teri Hatcher, two years his senior.</p>
<p>Facts aside, this outburst of animosity over the age difference could be read as simply another symptom of cultural bias against women dating younger men, but as Millar frames it, the source of that animosity could also be a necessary part of the character dynamic.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well, we all knew them but it&#8217;s still a fun read.</p>
<blockquote><p>Amy Adams has landed the iconic role of journalist Lois Lane in the upcoming Superman reboot from Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures. She joins Henry Cavill, Diane Lane and Kevin Costner on the production, which will be directed by Zack Snyder.</p></blockquote>
<p>Here are five facts about the Oscar-nominated actress:</p>
<p>1. She made her big-screen debut in 1999 in Drop Dead Gorgeous. The movie, which starred Denise Richards, Kirsten Dunst and Ellen Barkin, centers on a small-town beauty pageant that turns deadly as it becomes clear that someone will go to any lengths to win.</p>
<p><span id="more-1814"></span></p>
<p>2. She played John Krasinski&#8217;s girlfriend on NBC&#8217;s The Office. Before Jim (Krasinski) and Pam (Jenna Fischer) finally got together, Adams played Katy, Jim&#8217;s girlfriend, on three episodes in 2005-06. Katy arrived at the Scranton, Pa., branch of Dunder-Mifflin as a handbag seller, where both Michael (Steve Carell) and Dwight (Rainn Wilson) hit on her. But she ended up with Jim for a brief period of time, until the Dunder-Mifflin staff goes on a &#8220;booze cruise,&#8221; where Jim breaks up with her and confesses to Michael his love for Pam. (Adams also played &#8220;Cousin Beth&#8221; in an episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer.)</p>
<p>3. She stars opposite Jason Segel in the upcoming Muppets movie. Adams says she was a huge fan of Jim Henson&#8217;s Muppets growing and was thrilled to land a role in the movie, which is scheduled for a Nov. 23 release. She admits she got a little carried away while shooting scenes. &#8220;I don&#8217;t know if it&#8217;s because I grew up watching them or if it&#8217;s because I&#8217;m a bit nutty, but I completely believed them as my co-stars,&#8221; Adams said in an interview with the BBC. &#8220;I had wonderful moments listening to them and watching them where I relived parts of my childhood.&#8221;</p>
<p>4. She is attached to play Janis Joplin in a biopic about the late singer. Word got out in July that Adams would play the singer, who died in 1970 at age 27 of a heroin overdose. The movie, to be directed by Fernando Meirelles (City of God), is called Get It While You Can. It&#8217;s just one of several Joplin projects in the works over the years. &#8220;Hopefully it will be able to capture her truth,&#8221; Adams has said of the movie. &#8220;That&#8217;s what you always hope when you&#8217;re playing somebody of note like that.&#8221;</p>
<p>5. She has received three Oscar nominations. Adams was nominated for best supporting actress for 2010&#8242;s The Fighter, 2008&#8242;s Doubt and 2005&#8242;s Junebug, her breakout role.</p>
