A Jim Henson biopic is in the works from Disney and The Jim Henson Company.
The company reportedly had discussions with The Henson Company about a Jim Henson biopic in 2010, but the movie stalled with no significant updates until now.
Perhaps the most well-known puppeteer of all time, Henson co-founded Muppets, Inc., which became The Jim Henson Company, in 1958.
After developing new characters for Sesame Street, Henson gave the Muppets their own series by creating The Muppet Show in 1974.
