Muppet Tickles His Way Through City

Movie pitches come and go. Some are accepted, others are not.

The latest rumored pitch floating around HTG Hollywood is for the Muppets franchise, owned by Ship of Fooles Productions. Tentatively titled "Elmo's Fantastic Visit to Manhattan," the story follows the lively red Muppet as he explores the city. He is assisted by two friends, portrayed by Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen.

"There will be some singing involved," said an insider who has read the proposal. "There will be a little mystery and intrigue, too. It's just a matter of the pitch being accepted. I think it will be a win for everyone involved."

Questions to Ship of Fooles have not been returned as of this writing.
