Bret with the Muppets at their first table read

We've already heard some rumours here and there, but now it's officially confirmed that, as you can see in this photo, Bret McKenzie is working with James Bobin on The Greatest Muppets Movie Ever Made. Although one of our two favourite Conchords is composing some new tracks, I hope we'll see him on the screen as well.
The film, which will also star Jack Black, Donald Glover, Jane Lynch, Danny Trejo, Eric Stonestreet, John Krasinski, Ed Helms, Lady Gaga, and Paul Rudd, is set to open on December 25, 2011. That's going to be the Greatest Christmas Ever! (unless FotC will come up with a Christmas special some day... wishful thinking? I hope not!)

(very excited)
