Disney movie executives are bringing The Muppets back for a sequel after scoring gold at the Oscars.

The family movie, starring Jason Segel and Amy Adams alongside the late Jim Henson’s puppet creations, proved to be a hit with film fans, raking in $154.8 million (£96.75 million) worldwide upon its release last year (11).

It even claimed the Best Song Academy Award for Man or Muppet and now Disney bosses are hoping to replicate that success with a second installment.

However, Segel, who co-wrote The Muppets with screenwriter Nicolas Stoller, will not be involved in the writing process this time around due to his other film and TV commitments.

Explaining his decision to CraveOnline.com, the actor says, “You know, my goal was to bring The Muppets back and I think that I achieved that. It was half a decade of my life and I just want to take a minute to concentrate on more human related projects.”

The Muppets director James Bobin will help Stoller come up with a new adventure for Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy.

Hey everyone! I know these are a little late but I’ve added photos of Amy from the Vanity Fair Oscar Party and the Vanity Fair and Juicy Couture Vanities 20th Anniversary. Check them out below!

Spike Jonze has been plenty busy cranking out short films over the past few years, but he hasn’t directed a full-length feature since 2009?s Where the Wild Things Are. That’s about to change, though, and he’s already lining up quite an exciting cast for his return to feature filmmaking. Samantha Morton, Amy Adams, and Carey Mulligan are reportedly in talks to star with Joaquin Phoenix in the untitled romance, which was also written by Jonze. Read more after the jump.

Jonze is keeping details on the film under pretty tight wraps, but Deadline reports that the plotline will revolve around a man who falls for a computerized voice “similar to the Siri feature on the new iPhone.” Based on that bare-bones description, it sounds to me like a feature length version of that recent Big Bang Theory subplot where Raj falls in love with Siri, which was pretty fluffy even by BBT standards. But I assume — or at least, I hope — there’ll be a little more to it than that.

Confusingly, this is apparently a separate project from the Jonze / Charlie Kaufman collaboration we previously reported on, which also has Phoenix and Mulligan attached to star. That film is a satire about global leaders congregating to discuss upcoming major events that will affect the world, from fluctuating oil prices to impending wars.

The digital romance marks Adams’ first collaboration with Jonze. Adams’ other upcoming films include Man of Steel, Trouble With the Curve, and Paul Thomas Anderson’s The Master, which also stars Phoenix.

Morton previously worked with Jonze on Kaufman’s directorial debut Synecdoche, New York, which Jonze produced. Morton will next appear in Andrew Stanton’s John Carter and David Cronenberg’s Cosmopolis.

Mulligan recently wrapped Baz Luhrmann’s The Great Gatsby, which also stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Joel Edgerton, and Tobey Maguire, and is currently shooting the Coen Brothers’ Inside Llewyn Davis opposite her Drive co-star Oscar Isaac.

Columbia Pictures has moved up its comedy/drama, Great Hope Springs to August 10th, four months earlier than originally planned.

The film, from director David Frankel, stars Meryl Streep, Tommy Lee Jones and Steve Carell features a script by Vanessa Taylor.

Many years of marriage have left Maeve (Streep) wanting to spice things up and reconnect with her husband. When she hears of a famed relationship guru (Carell) in the town of Great Hope Springs, she must persuade her skeptical husband (Jones) to get on a plane for an intense week of marriage and sex therapy. Getting there was hard enough… now shedding their bedroom hang ups, learning some new moves and rediscovering their youthful spark is when the real adventure begins.

Warner Bros., meanwhile, has set their Trouble with the Curve for September 28th. Starring Clint Eastwood, Amy Adams and Matthew Lillard, the Robert Lorenz film arrives from screenwriter Randy Brown and marks Eastwood’s first acting project since 2008′s Gran Torino. He’ll star as a baseball scout who is losing his vision with his age. He and his daughter (Adams) take a final road trip to Atlanta to check out a prospective talent.

And the behind-the-scenes extras are a revealing tell-all look at what it took to bring our movie to the big screen. It’s a must-see for fans of bloopers, flubs and slip-ups – which pretty much describes our act.”

Additional fun-filled features on Disney’s “The Muppets” Blu-ray include a groundbreaking industry first — ‘Disney Intermission,’ a hilarious all-new feature that allows viewers to press Pause on their remote control and watch as the Muppets take over the screen and entertain until the movie resumes playing.

New fans and long-time devotees will find the rainbow connection when they bring Disney’s “The Muppets” into their very own homes.

I’m working on catching up in the gallery and I’ve begun by catching up on appearances. Check them out below!

Gran Torino was supposed to have been Clint Eastwood’s swansong, as an actor. However, in the latter months of 2011, news got out that the 81-year-old Hollywood icon would work in front of the camera one more time on Trouble with the Curve, the directorial debut of his frequent assistant director/producer, Robert Lorenz.

Sandra Bullock was briefly raised as a possibility to portray Eastwood’s daughter in the film, but a scheduling conflict reportedly forced the Oscar-winning actress to withdraw. Word got out shortly thereafter that another acclaimed starlet, namely Amy Adams, could be taking Bullock’s place; now, it seems that casting move is essentially set in stone.
