Fraggle Rock
Joseph Gordon - Levitt’sFraggle Rockmovie is dead . in the beginning create by the late , great Jim Henson back in 1983 , this somewhat bizarro variation ofThe Muppetshad a diminished but no less dedicated following than that ofKermit the Frog or Miss Piggy .
TheFraggle RockTV series run for five season – a unusual sort of underworld rendition of what more could be done with the eccentric of live - action puppeteering that had made Henson’sMuppetsso popular . When the five seasons came to an end , the Fraggles went on to asterisk in a wide variety of medium , from cartoon to comics to cameos in theMuppet - ledMuppet Family ChristmasTV movie . But for years after their golden era died down , theFraggleswere mostly forgotten by the world , except for their consecrated fanbase . The Muppets , on the other hand , have stay on to enjoy revival after resurgence , though in recent times , things have quieted more or less . Still , some felt that theFraggleswere in equal need of some of the attention that theMuppetshave been receiving . Earlier this yr , it was unveil that a feature film was on its room . The film was reportedly beingproduced by and starring Gordon - Levitt .

Unfortunately forFraggle Rockfans , however , it does n’t look as though a feature - distance moving-picture show is going to befall after all . In a late interview withVariety , Gordon - Levitt spoke about the construct of bringing the Fraggles to the big screen and how it is no longer something that he ’s do work toward doing . Citing the existence of Apple TV+’sFraggle RockTV series , Levitt explained that there are so many projects in Hollywood that are in exploitation , and despite the unvoiced work of many , sometimes thing just do n’t pan out . When asked ifFraggle Rockwas still happening , this was Gordon - Levitt ’s answer :
" No , they did a show with Apple , which I have n’t seen but count forward to checking it out . There ’s so many projects that are in growing . Some get into the press for some intellect and some do n’t . We all pass gobs and lots of time work on lots and spate of matter that do n’t become real . This was one of those . "
The Apple TV+ series , Fraggle Rock : Rock On!,arrived in the latter half of April , and while it has n’t exactly blown hearing or critics away , it has fared pretty well . However , if the series is the trade - off thatFraggle Rockfans must square off for rather than a feature picture , it ’s likely not a satisfactory central for many . But of grade , simply because Levitt is no longer affect with trying to get aFraggle Rockfilm off the undercoat does n’t mean that it will never happen . This is especially true ifThe Jim Henson Companydiscovers there ’s enough sake in the goggle box series to merit expanding into other boulevard . Right now , that ’s a hard call to make , but lover would do well to stay positive regarding the franchise ’s theory .
If aFraggle Rockfeature film does go in front at some point , it ’s also deserving think of that it most likely wo n’t happen any clock time soon . It ’s unsatisfying to see someone as talented as Levitt step away from what could have been an interesting project , but the fact of the matter is that there are plenty of gifted actors in Hollywood , many of whichcould also do an first-class jobof heading up aFraggle Rockfilm . For now , fans of the franchise will have to go under for watching the latest Fraggle iteration on Apple TV+ .
