"Half-Blood Prince's" Death Eater Thorfinn Rowle CastNews > The Weinsteins to Turn "Fraggle Rock" into a Feature
The Weinstein Co. is in preparation to adapt Jim Henson's "Fraggle Rock" into a feature-length, live-action musical film. "Hoodwinked" helmer Cory Edwards is in place to write the screenplay and direct the film about "Gogo, Wembley, Mokey, Boober, and Red" as they travel outside of Fraggle Rock and interact with humans, believing them to be aliens (Variety).
The original show by Jim Henson premiered on HBO in 1983 and ran for five seasons. Relatively successful DVD sales for the first three seasons helped to convince the studios that "Fraggle Rock" might be due for an adaptation. According to Harvey Weinstein, this is all part of TWC's continued commitment to bringing a "broad range of family-friendly franchises" to the populace.

Well, technically the "Jim Henson Co." is producing it (Jim's kids) so maybe some of the original talent will be back. Who knows at this point?
