: Basically as I understand it, he was contracted to write a spec script (I don't know if he was recruited or not) and submitted his first set of pages, but the company had some changes they wanted to make that would have made an asinine movie and Lynch refused to write what they specified. So he's essentially barred from ever working with the Muppets.
No, I wrote a spec script for fun, wasn't contracted to do it (a spec script is one you're not contracted to write anyway, it's puuuuure SPECulation, and sometimes SPECtacular). They bought the one I did for fun, and hired me to write another. Halfway through writing this new one, which was from their idea, they had some ideas that I didn't agree with, we had a stand off, and I walked. But they love me and the new Muppet show comin' to ABC is called THE ADVENTURES OF KERMIT AND HIS PAL BRIAN, which is pretty neat. I play Brian.
