Muppet Newsflash, always a great source for Muppet news, is reporting that, yes, there will probably be a movie based on Jim Henson's HBO series Fraggle Rock, and, yes, Brian Henson will probably be directing it. However, don't expect to see it until 2007 or 2008, and even that's a little iffy. While he admits they're planning on making the movie, Henson also acknowledges he may have jumped the gun in announcing it, since the studio has other projects they're already immersed in, such as the sequel to The Dark Crystal, titled The Power of the Dark Crystal. Henson has also said that the Fraggle Rock movie will not be a continuation of the show, but will still focus on the "unchanged" relationships between the characters. In that respect, it doesn't sound like it would be all the different from the Muppet movies.Don't expect a Fraggle Rock movie right away

Someone lock me up in a time capsule. I can't wait any longer. When I was a kid I ate, slept and lived Fraggle Rock. Jim Henson is a G-d and I can't wait for this movie.
What does it mean though that it won't be a continuation? They going to start off fresh again when traveling matt leaves?
