There’s so much discourse surrounding what it means to be iconic these days\u2014and who is really worthy of being described as such. We would firmly file Muppet diva-extraordinaire Miss Piggy as someone deserving of the title.<\/p>\n

Thanks to Miss Piggy’s everlasting fabulosity, it’s been announced that Tony Award-winning<\/a> actor and playwright Cole Escola<\/a> is working on a new movie about pop culture’s most stylish swine\u2014and he’s bringing along a few friends (and Oscar winners) to assist on the project. Currently, Jennifer Lawrence<\/a> and Emma Stone<\/a> are attached to executive produce the upcoming feature, with Lawrence being the one who broke the news during her appearance on Bowen Yang and Matt Rogers popular Las Culturistas podcast.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know if I can announce this, but I\u2019m just going to,\u201d the actress shared during the new episode, per Deadline<\/a>. \u201cEmma Stone and I are producing a Miss Piggy movie and Cole is writing it.\u201d While Lawrence didn’t reveal any plot details, she did confirm it would be likely she and Stone would make cameos for the film. \u201cI think so,” she added. “We have to.\u201d<\/p>\n

Miss Piggy of course is no stranger to the silver screen and has appeared in dozens of movies, television specials, and commercials alongside her beloved Muppet costars (and on-and-off boyfriend, Kermit the Frog<\/a>) for decades now. Cole Escola, who recently won a Tony Award for their portrayal of Mary Todd Lincoln in their smash-hit play Oh, Mary! recently reflected on what it’s been like receiving seeming overnight success thanks to his unconventional\u2014but indisputably hilarious\u2014production.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m just waiting for the day when it\u2019s like, okay, no one likes it anymore,\u201d Escola told Bazaar<\/a> of the reaction to Oh, Mary!. \u201cObviously that happens with everything, so that will happen, but I really have no idea. I\u2019ve been doing basically the same kind of work for a long time, and I don\u2019t know why this one in particular is the one that people are responding to. It feels a bit like a broken clock is right twice a day, and for some reason, this play and the culture are on the same time.\u201d<\/p>\n
