Quote

In addition, the studio has dated the Brian Henson-directed comedy The Happytime Murders for Aug. 17, 2018.

 

Happytime Murders is set in the underbelly of Los Angeles where puppets and humans coexist. Two clashing detectives, one human (McCarthy) and one puppet, are forced to work together to try to find out who is brutally murdering the former cast of “The Happytime Gang,” a beloved classic puppet show. Henson, Jeff Hayes, Ben Falcone, and McCarthy produce.

I love it! IIRC, there was a similar concept pitched in the early 2000s, I think, that never got off the ground. 

 

Hope they can pull it off.

It is like a movie that fucked Who Framed Roger Rabbit and then blew a load all over, snorted a line of coke and said fuck about 50 times.  

 

That would be more accurate description.  The red band footage was waaaayyyyy adult.  Hardest R rating you can get.  Think much more along the lines of Sausage Party as a comparison.

Ghostbuster:

Ghostbusters premiered at the TCL Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles on July 9, 2016. It was theatrically released on July 11, 2016

 

Life of the party: 

Filming began in August 2016 in Atlanta, Georgia.^[5]

 

Looking at release date is not really the way to judge actor schedule and work load to a high level of precision.

This red band trailer played before my showing DP2 and the audience absolutely loved it. Graphic is an understatement for describing this trailer. It's also very, very funny. It certainly could be a sleeper hit this summer.

So... it’s a fun concept.
