Henson Biopic Slated To Shoot This Summer

A biopic of the life of Jim Henson may be just around the corner. The rights to the flim Henson have been acquired by Empire Film Group, and shooting is expected to begin this summer under the guidance of "a major director, such as Penny Marshall."

I'm curious to see how this one turns out, and which portions of Henson's career the movie will cover. Could there maybe be a few scenes that take place on the set of Labyrinth or The Dark Crystal? Could there? Maybe? Please?

Regardlessly, the end of the film will most likely be a major downer; Henson tragically died of a bacterial infection in 1990 after more than thirty years of Muppetry.
