"I don't know if I can announce this but I am just going to Emma Stone and I are producing a Miss Piggy movie and Cole is writing it, Lawrence revealed on Las Culturistas podcast hosted by Bowen Yang and Matt Rogers. When the excited cohosts asked whether Lawrence and Stone, longtime friends and two of the most successful film actors of their generation, would co-star in the project, Lawrence teased, I think so."
"The intensely physical comedy, for which Escola won the Tony for best actor in a play, reimagines the former first lady as a historically clueless, alcoholic, aspiring cabaret singer who benefits greatly from her husband's assassination. The whole thing is a joke she's in on, Lawrence told the podcast. I felt like I could be big and in on the joke."
Disney is developing a feature film centered on Miss Piggy, with Jennifer Lawrence and Emma Stone serving as producers and Cole Escola writing the screenplay. Lawrence and Stone are longtime friends who may also co-star in the project. Cole Escola created Oh, Mary!, and earlier performers in that role have included Jane Krakowski and Tituss Burgess. Oh, Mary! reimagines Mary Todd Lincoln as a historically clueless, alcoholic aspiring cabaret singer, and Escola won a Tony for his performance. Lawrence considered a Broadway debut in Oh, Mary! but declined due to the physical demands, rehearsal schedule and childcare logistics. Lawrence is promoting Die, My Love opposite Robert Pattinson.
