Money grab off a dead guy's name. We didn't need the Walt Disney story, the Mr. Rogers story, not this story. As big a role as Jim Henson, his muppets, and Sesame Street played in my childhood... there is (A) no need for this film and (b) the studio behind this is almost certainly banking that nostalgia will bring them loads of cash. I wonder if Tom Hanks will be playing Jim here as well.

Certainly not anything new. You listed just a fraction of the Hollywood Biopics. I rather enjoyed Walk The Line (and Walk Taller), Bohemian Rapsody, Great Balls Of Fire, Immortal Beloved...
