Emotion Pictures, the newly launched English-language commercial film banner from Vendôme Group, Pathé and Merit France, will produce the feature film “Muppets in Moscow” in partnership with Riley Keough and Gina Gammell’s Felix Culpa. Charles Randolph, the Oscar-winning screenwriter of “The Big Short,” will write the script.

The film is based on Natasha Lance Rogoff’s acclaimed memoir “Muppets in Moscow: The Unexpected Crazy True Story of Making Sesame Street in Russia,” which recounts her real-life journey bringing the beloved children’s series to Russia. Sesame Workshop produced the Russian version titled “Ulitsa Sezam” in the country. Felix Culpa and CAA brought the project to Emotion Pictures.
