Five to Survive gives an adult contestant a chance to win big prizes if they can answer ten questions correctly to win the top prize. If they answer incorrectly, the contestant has a chance to be saved by a group of five kids – and Gervais – who have been asked the same questions (think Who Wants To Be a Millionaire crossed with Kids Say The Darndest Things).

Muppets Most Wanted opens with a gangbusters number called We’re Doing a Sequel which includes the line, ‘Everybody knows that the sequel’s never quite as good.’ While it’s a bit of a self-fulfilling prophecy, being not quite as good as 2011’s The Muppets is still pretty darned good.
Muppets Most Wanted explore that time-honored tradition of evil twins. Kermit the Frog has a doppelganger named Constantine – the World’s Number One Criminal – who escapes a Russian prison and changes places with Kermit, to chaotic effect. Continuing the Muppet movie tradition, the human cast is largely composed of stars who just love The Muppets, including: Ricky Gervais, Ty Burrell, Tina Fey – and enough cameos that even Statler and Waldorf can’t complain (well, they can – but that’s just them being Statler and Waldorf!).
Muppets Most Wanted opens on March 21, 2014. Follow the jump for the trailer and social media links.
Here are two photos from Muppets… Again! – starring Ricky Gervais (see photo following the jump – along with synopsis and cast).
Muppets… Again! will be unleashed upon an unsuspecting public on March 21, 2014.
