According to Variety, Warner Bros. has hired Portlandia co-creator Jonathan Krisel to direct the Sesame Street movie. We don’t really know much about the project, but the Variety story says it will be a musical and that it will be “live-action,” which hopefully means it’ll have regular puppets and not CG versions of Elmo and Grover alongside a human Mr. Hooper like in one of Jon Favreau’s “live-action” movies. It sounds like the script has passed through multiple people, with Jesse Eherman from Sesame Workshop also “involved in development,” and it’s been in the works in one form or another since back around 2012.
