New Regency, The Henson Co. and Lisa
Henson have tapped Joseph Gordon-Levitt to produce and star in the long gestating live-action big screen adaptation of the musical puppet TV show
created by the late Jim Henson, Fraggle Rock.
"The
first screen personas I ever loved were Henson creations, first on ‘Sesame
Street,’ and then on ‘Fraggle Rock,'" Gordon-Levitt said. "Jim
Henson’s characters make you laugh and sing, but they’re also layered,
surprising, and wise. From Oscar the Grouch, to Yoda, to the Fraggles. I’ve
never stopped loving his work, even as a young frisky man, and on into
adulthood. Collaborating with Lisa Henson makes me confident we can do
something that Jim would have loved. I’m grateful and excited to be working
with New Regency on this project."
