Segel, Stoller to make new Muppet movie

LOS ANGELES, March 13 (UPI) -- The team behind the upcoming Hollywood comedy "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" reportedly is set to create the next Muppet movie for Disney.

Actor Jason Segel and Nick Stoller would co-write the family film, which Stoller would then direct, Variety.com said Thursday.

Segel and Stoller recently signed on to co-write the big-screen comedy "Five-Year Engagement," with Stoller directing and Segal starring, the entertainment industry trade paper said.

Segel has previously starred in Judd Apatow's TV shows "Freaks and Geeks" and "Undeclared," and can be seen on the sit-com "How I Met Your Mother."

He will soon be seen in "Forgetting Sarah Marshall," a comedy he wrote, which Stoller directed and Apatow produced.

Apatow's other films include "Knocked Up," "The 40-Year-Old Virgin" and "Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story."
