The Happytime Murders (Melissa McCarthy Puppet Comedy) - Blu-ray Forum

Himmel · 07-01-2017, 11:26 PM

Quote:

Happytime Murders is set in the underbelly of Los Angeles where puppets and humans coexist. Two clashing detectives, one human (McCarthy) and one puppet, are forced to work together to try to find out who is brutally murdering the former cast of “The Happytime Gang,” a beloved classic puppet show. Henson, Jeff Hayes, Ben Falcone, and McCarthy produce.

Release set for Aug. 17, 2018.

So it's a Roger Rabbit knock-off swapping toons for puppets...

i was thinking this was going to go more the line of Meet the Feebles with puppets doing inappropriate stuff. At least it sounds fun and original.

If the Henson company is involved, I don't think it'll be going the Feebles route.

I wonder if they threw a boatload of cash at McCarthy or she campaigned for this herself? Last time she did that it turned out terribly.

Puppets?

Isn't this an old project? Seem to recall hearing about this a decade or more ago, maybe as a blacklist script.

I would really just rather they made a movie of Avenue Q

I just watched the first trailer for this and it looked pretty dang funny to me. Super raunchy. The end with the silly string........wow.

Should be online soon.

Rodney-2187 · 05-18-2018, 02:48 AM

There was a red band trailer for this before Deadpool 2 that had the entire theater rolling!

I don’t see that same trailer online, the one with the silly string.

I can't find any trailer online

Didn't get the trailer for this on Deadpool, instead got a red-band for Mile 22, which is also from STX, so I guess it varies.
