'Muppet' movie loading up on cameos

LOS ANGELES  - Disney's new "Muppets" movie will be bursting at the seams with high-profile cameos.

Alan Arkin, Jack Black, Billy Crystal, Zach Galifianakis and Jean-Claude Van Damme are being recruited to make guest appearances in the new feature.

The film is currently shooting around Los Angeles under the direction of James Bobin.

The biggest hurdle facing the film is not getting actors to say yes to appear in the movie. Rather, it's figuring out scheduling.

The story sees Jason Segel, who also co-wrote the script, as the human lead who helps those wacky Muppets reunite to put on a show in order to save a movie studio.

Amy Adams, Chris Cooper and Rashida Jones are among the human actors in key roles.

Arkin is a tour guide while Black will play a kidnap victim. Galifianakis plays a hobo. Details for others were not divulged.

It was reported that Jane Lynch would be appearing in the "Muppets" movie, but the "Glee" star denied being attached to the film.
