An untitled Fraggle Rock movie has been in development by The Jim Henson Company since 2005.

In 2011, following the loss of the Weinstein deal, New Regency announced that they had acquired the rights to produce the film. In May 2012, new writers for the project were announced.

  • An untitled Fraggle Rock movie has been in development by The Jim Henson Company since 2005. The proposed film was planned to "take Gobo, Wembley, Mokey, Boober and Red on an adventure outside of Fraggle Rock where they will interact with the strange beings in 'outer space' (also known as humans)." The Weinstein Company formerly partnered with the Henson Company to produce and distribute the film. Cory Edwards, the writer and director of the 2005 animated film Hoodwinked!, was announced as the writer and director for the Fraggle Rock film in May 2008. Edwards kept a blog about the process, and began writing about his frustrations with the project in mid-2009. In June 2010, Edwards announced that the Weinstein Company is looking for a replacement screenwriter, claiming that he's been told that his script is "not edgy enough." In 2011, the deal fell through with Weinstein. In 2011, following the loss of the Weinstein deal, New Regency announced that they had acquired the rights to produce the film. In May 2012, new writers for the project were announced. Brian Henson mentioned in a Variety interview in March 2014 that the Fraggle movie was "still in development". When asked about the project at a Q&A event in May 2015, Brian Henson commented that the project was "in script development," adding that there's "a lot of enthusiasm, but it still really in script development." When asked why the decision to to revisit the world of the Fraggles as a film as opposed to reviving it as a TV series, Henson responded: "I don't know that I have a good answer to that, other than I have a sister named Lisa, and she and I make a lot of these kind of decisions, and I think she was more enthusiastic about making it a movie, but yes, you could definitely go either way."
