In a shrewd stroke of timing, the new Muppets trailer and poster comes as Sony is ramping up their viral marketing for Dragon Tattoo (read about the new eight-minute preview popping up at advance Sony screenings this week). And though it uses footage from the colorful, feel-good Muppets flick, aping the frenetic editing and music of Dragon Tattoo's first trailer lends Kermit & Co. an edge, not to mention a perversely funny sense of humor.
The only problem: Miss Piggy as Lisbeth Salander. If you've read the books or seen the original film you know what I'm talking about. I hope I don't wind up thinking of Miss Piggy when I'm watching Rooney Mara do Lisbeth come December.
