Cameron Diaz in The Happytime Murders?

Cameron Diaz may next be co-starring with a group of perverse muppets in the Henson Company’s darkly comic thriller The Happytime Murders, which sounds like a red band version of Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, and no, that is not a complaint. Directed by Brian Henson, the late Jim’s son, the mystery will be aimed at adults and feature an R-rated script. NY Mag reports that Diaz’s role in the film would be a starring role, though the nature of that role has not been revealed.

It has also not been revealed whether she will actually accept the role, though her camp reports that she is pretty excited about reading the script. And on the subject of the script, one scene, NY Mag’s Vulture Blog reports, has a cow getting erotically massaged to the point of orgasm from all of its teats, thanks to a pleasure-inducing octopus. The plot centers on a murder that takes place in a world where humans and puppets co-exist, and the latter are looked upon as second-class citizens. Should be fun!
