Actor-superstar Melissa McCarthy has officially boarded the R-rated puppet feature film Happytime Murders. Originally rumored to feature Jamie Foxx, Happytime Murders has been in development hell for the better part of the last half-decade even when STX Entertainment came on to co-produce with Henson Alternative, the adult-themed arm of the Henson Co.

The film, a buddy cop comedy featuring a puppet and a human looking to solve a crime involving a popular television show, is expected to go into production this August and is being directed by Brian Henson.
