Animation Magazine reports that the Weinstein Company has signed on to distribute a feature length live action film all about “Fraggle Rock”, currently in development at the Jim Henson Company.

Cory Edwards, who previously directed the independent animated comedy Hoodwinked!, has been tapped to script and helm the musical project, which will feature a mix of live-action and puppetry or CG animation.

Even though felt puppets were used during the TV series of “Fraggle Rock” to interact with human characters, Jim Henson Co. is considering using more animation for the feature film, utilizing their proprietary system that allows puppeteers to manipulate CG characters in real time.
