New Jim Henson Project Involves Murder, Mystery, Puppets

The Jim Henson Company is developing a film noir murder mystery movie that takes place in a world where humans and puppets (note: not Muppets) coexist. The Happytime Murders is reportedly targeted more toward adults, and involves a series of killings among the cast members of an educational children's show.
I imagine this could bear a slight resemblance to Puppet Rapist or that one episode of Angel, with elements drawn from Who Framed Roger Rabbit? If done right, this could turn out really, really awesome.
