Couple of news pieces for Disney's
The Muppets... Again! here. First up, in an interview with
Huffington Post, recent Golden Globes co-host Tina Fey talks about her role as 'Nadya' (described as "a Russian gulag prison guard") in the anticipated Europe-set sequel, saying that she actually plays a "good guy" who may seem like a villain. She also touches on working with a Russian accent.
"I actually play a Russian good guy, kind of. Who knows? Maybe she seems like the bad guy. But just before I called you I was on Skype with a dialect coach. And I was like, "Oh my gosh, this is for real. I have to try and do this!" ... they offered it, and I was like, "Yeah, great!" I think that's a fun thing to do and try to practice."

In other
Muppets news, actor Peter Serafinowicz (best known for his roles in
Shaun Of The Dead and
Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace) took to his Twitter account yesterday to reveal that he has a role in the sequel, and will begin filming next week. He doesn't say whether or not he'll be among the many promised celebrity cameos (which may include
Django Unchained's Christoph Waltz) or if his role will be larger, however. Stay tuned to CBM for more news as we have it.
The Muppets... Again! stars Ricky Gervais, Tina Fey, Ty Burrell and Ray Liotta. The film is set to hit theaters March 21st, 2014.
