Amy Adams is a wanted woman and we can't say we blame the filmmakers and producers who covet her talents. After taking off almost a year to have a baby, the actress is ready to get back to work and now has to weigh some serious offers.The first one, and perhaps the most enticing as it could endlessly enjoyable, is one from Jason Segel and Disney regarding his 'Untitled Muppets Movie' (sometimes known as simply, "The Muppets," formerly known as "The Greatest Muppet Movie Of All Time") which is due Christmas 2011. Segel want Adams to co-star next to him in the picture which needs to start shooting soon if it wants to make its targeted release date. Having already worked in the realm of animation — "Enchanted" — she more than demonstrated that she could carry a tune (the 'Muppets' film will surely have songs in it and Segel is a songwriter as well), Adams seems like a perfect fit for the material, but she does have other gigs to consider.
Cameron Crowe — who is getting divorced from his wife of 22 years, Nancy Wilson, bummer — wants Adams to play the zookeeper role alongside Matt Damon in the adaptation of "We Bought A Zoo" which is also scheduled for a Christmas release in 2011 which essentially means it too is vying for her attention. Damon plays a widowed man who buys a dilapidated zoo as a condition of purchasing a beautiful country estate.
Lastly there's Dreamworks' "Welcome To People," which is the directorial debut of Alex Kurtzman, one half of the writing duo (along with Roberto Orci) responsible for the "Star Trek" and "Transformers" films thus far. The Dreamworks family drama recently picked up Chris Pine for the lead — a man who loses his father to cancer and then must deliver the $150,000 inheritance to his half-sister — and they're eying Adams for this sibling role; a struggling mother and recovering alcoholic. EW reports that her participation in 'The Muppets' movie seems optimistic, but nothing has been set in stone yet. Adams is apparently on a short list of women who are also contenders for the "We Bought A Zoo" gig.
