\"Modern Family\" actor Ty Burrell is to play an Interpol inspector in a Europe-set sequel to the 2011 movie \"The Muppets,\" The Hollywood Reporter said. \"Inglourious Basterds\" villain Christoph Waltz initially had been in talks for the role, but the Oscar-winning actor\'s busy schedule prevented him from taking it, the entertainment industry trade newspaper said. James Bobin is to helm the movie, which he co-wrote with Nicholas Stoller. It is to begin shooting in London this winter, the report said.
