In the movie, written by Forgetting Sarah Marshall star and writer Jason Segel, the Muppets reunite to save their studio with one last variety show.
Should the film go well, it opens up the possibility of a television programme, also written by 28-year-old Segel.
A source said: “Jason is a massive Muppets fan and is seen as the man to finally bring The Muppet Show back to TV.
“It will obviously have all its old fans but Jason’s comedy is hugely popular with youngsters so it will open it up to a whole new audience.”
The source added: “If the movie script is popular Jason will write the TV series too. He is already coming up with ideas for it.”
