The Muppets | Pigs in Space | "Alien: Look Whose Coming to Dinner" (youtu.be)

Proving no film is safe from the rebooting hands of Hollywood, The Muppets have launched their version of the sci-fi classic "Alien" using the space-traversing swine from "Pigs in Space." While not as serious or spooky as Ridley Scott's newest film in the franchise, "Alien: Look Who's Coming to Dinner" doesn't shy away from puns, violence or (by Muppet standards) salty language. Sadly, James Franco is not involved.

Directed and co-written by long time Muppet collaborator Kirk Thatcher, the spoof is the first episode in a planned comeback for the plucky porkers. A new online series will follow the further adventures of the crew of the S.S. Swinetrek. The three little pigs take on the Oscar winning film "Gravity" next week with "The Gravity of the Situation."
