After cleaning up $158 million worldwide, The Muppets will return with another installment in the near future. Jason Segel, who starred in and penned their 2011 film, will not be at the helm of the next feature. Although Segel hasn't ruled out starring in the next picture, he's relinquishing the writing duties to James Babin. Details are scarce as the film is in preliminary stages.
In addition to another Muppets movie, Ryan Gosling and his Drive director Nicolas Winding Refn will be combining forces once again in Only God Forgives. A more expanded synopsis has finally been released. The updated plot details are as follows (courtesy of Brad Brevet at Ropeofsilicon.com):
"Bangkok. Ten years ago Julian (Gosling) killed a cop and went on the run. Now he manages a Thai boxing club as a front for a drugs operation. Respected in the criminal underworld, deep inside, he feels empty.
When Julian's brother murders a prostitute the police call on retired cop Chang – the Angel of Vengeance. Chang allows the father to kill his daughter's murderer, then 'restores order' by chopping off the man's right hand.
Julian's mother Jenna – the head of a powerful criminal organization – arrives in Bangkok to collect her son's body. She dispatches Julian to find his killers and 'raise hell'.
Increasingly obsessed with the Angel of Vengeance, Julian challenges him to a boxing match, hoping that by defeating him he might find spiritual release.. but Chang triumphs. A furious Jenna plots revenge and the stage is set for a bloody journey through betrayal and vengeance towards a final confrontation and the possibility of redemption."
