Fraggle Rock movie in the works with help of Joseph Gordon-Levitt

INDIANAPOLIS (CNN/WISH) – A popular 1980s show could hit the big screen with the help of Joseph Gordon-Levitt.

The actor will star and produce the feature adaptation. New Regency and The Henson Co. are also producing.

The show followed a group of cave-dwelling puppet creatures called Fraggles on their daily adventures. Doozers, industrious creatures, and Gorgs, furry giants were also a part of the show.

Levit steps in to help Jim Byrkit and Alex Manugian who are slated to write the screen version. John Stevenson will direct the film.

Dates for the film have yet to be announced.
