It looks like the folks behind the Muppets are set to tackle some interesting films, I love the idea that they might be using a Edward Gorey book:
"Jim Henson Co. is launching development on a trio of literary properties -- "The Boggart" by novelist Susan Cooper ("The Dark is Rising"), "The Doubtful Guest" by Edward Gorey and the fantasy adventure trilogy "Monster Blood Tattoo" by D.M. Cornish. Henson's Creature Shop, the company's visual and f/x division, will bring work on the characters in each film using a blend of CGI and animatronics."
