Gordon-Levitt to star in 'Fraggle Rock' Movie

Joseph Gordon-Levitt will produce and star in the live-action “Fraggle Rock” movie.

The bigscreen adaptation of the musical puppet series created by late Jim Henson has been in the works for nearly a decade, but the attachment of Gordon-Levitt constitutes a major boost.

“Fraggle Rock”, debuted on TV in 1983, centers on the adventures of cave-dwelling creatures called Fraggles who have to deal with the industrious Doozers and furry giants called Gorgs.

“The first screen personas I ever loved were Henson creations, first on 'Sesame Street,' and then on 'Fraggle Rock,'” Gordon-Levitt said.

“Jim Henson's characters make you laugh and sing, but they're also layered, surprising, and wise. I've never stopped loving his work, even as a young frisky man, and on into adulthood,” he added.
