A live-action Fraggle Rock movie is coming to theaters and will star Joseph Gordon-Levitt, ABC News has confirmed.
The movie will be a collaboration between New Regency, the Henson Co. and Lisa Henson, according to Variety. Gordon-Levitt will star in the movie and also produce.
You remember the crazy Fraggles, who lived in caves in the 1980s.
“The first screen personas I ever loved were Henson creations, first on Sesame Street, and then on Fraggle Rock,” Gordon-Levitt, 34, said to Variety. “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,” he added. “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.”
Kids of the 1980s can all get excited to relive their childhood.
