Jennifer Lawrence & Emma Stone Developing Miss Piggy Solo Movie
A famous puppet character named Miss Piggy is going to be the star of her own movie!
Two movie stars, Jennifer Lawrence and Emma Stone, are helping to make it happen.
A writer named Cole Escola is writing the story for her.
Miss Piggy first appeared on a TV show a very long time ago, in 1976.
Even though she was part of a group called the Muppets and often had a frog friend named Kermit, she was always a very big personality who liked to be the star.
This movie will be the first time she gets her very own big screen adventure, all about her.
The movie makers have asked the companies that own the Muppets if they can make it.
Jennifer Lawrence and Emma Stone are developing a solo movie centered on the Muppet character Miss Piggy.
Cole Escola, known for 'Oh, Mary!', is attached to write the screenplay for the film.
This project marks Miss Piggy's first solo movie outing since her debut in 1976 on 'The Muppet Show'.
Lawrence indicated that she and Stone might also appear in the film, but details remain undisclosed.
The announcement comes as 'The Muppet Show' is also set for a refresh, with a TV event featuring Sabrina Carpenter planned for 2026.
