Jason Segel was spotted on the downtown L.A. set of The Muppets on Saturday, Nov. 27,  along with some of his fuzzy co-stars. The movie is a passion project for Segel who not only stars in film, but also penned the script and is co-directing.

He’s described the movie as, “a classic story.” Adding, “It’s the Muppets needing to get back together to save the show…It’s going to take place all over the world. Basically, the Muppets are no longer together. So that might take a while to film. I guess they’ve set the precedent in that last movie (Muppets From Space) that Gonzo is, in fact, an alien, so he could well end up in space.” The movie, which is due in theaters next year, continues shooting at 515 S Flower St, Los Angeles through Tuesday, Nov. 30.Take a look a more photos from Saturday’s shoot and remember, if you have any on location photos to share, let us know at olv@onlocationvacations.com!
