Henson is a screenplay that chronicles the life and career of Jim Henson. It was penned by Robert D. Slane and announced on February 4, 2008, to have been purchased for production and distribution by Empire Film Group. Production is planned to start in Summer 2008, and the film was announced to carry a $30-million budget.[1]
Empire has stated that they are considering A-list directors in an attempt to lure notable star actors for key roles in the film. The initial announcement cited Penny Marshall as an example of the caliber director they are pursuing.[1] Dean Hamilton-Bornstein is attached as an executive producer, and Eric Parkinson and Xavier Mitchell are currently lined-up as producers for the project.
An e-mail from Nicole Goldman, the Vice President of Marketing and Publicity at JHP, stated that the movie is "not affiliated with our company or the Henson family in any way." [2]
