I've said it before, and I'll say it again:

Face Off

[-] PineRune@lemmy.world 51 points 4 days ago

The Lord of the Rings, but Gandalf is the only human actor and everyone else are Muppets.

[-] owenfromcanada@lemmy.ca 28 points 4 days ago

The inspiration for the chart was actually another thread about exactly this. Here's the roster I suggested:

  • Aragorn: Kermit
  • Arwen: Ms Piggy
  • Legolas: Janice
  • Gimli: Rowlf
  • Boromir: Sean Bean (human)
  • Gandalf: Dr Teeth
  • Frodo: Elijah Wood (human)
  • Sam: Fozzy
  • Merry: Rizzo
  • Pippin: Gonzo
  • Saruman: Sam Eagle
  • Ringwraiths: Statler and Waldorf
  • Bombadil: Swedish Chef

Another commenter noted that Janice would be too good as Galadriel to cast her as Legolas. Which is a very valid point.

[-] PineRune@lemmy.world 10 points 4 days ago

Swedish Chef as Tom Bombadil is perfect!

I wish they’d redo Blade (1996) but with the Muppets. I think it would be so much better. You could keep it kid-friendly by having the vampires turn into bats instead of ash, but the thought of Kermit saying “some motherfuckers always trying to ice-skate uphill” would be so funny.

[-] A_Union_of_Kobolds@lemmy.world 30 points 5 days ago

The blood rave scene with Muppets lmao

Some muppets always trying to ice-skate uphill. Or well, ice-skate in general.

Beauty and the Beast but the Beast is the only Real person and he turns into a muppet at the end

[-] Tingle@lemmy.world 6 points 4 days ago

Is he a beast or a muppet?

[-] youCanCallMeDragon@lemmy.world 11 points 4 days ago

It’s like belle (miss piggy) saying “what a hideous beast” and it’s just a guy

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 6 points 4 days ago

No it's Hugh Jackman

[-] __Lost__@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 4 days ago

That reminds me of the old Twilight Zone episode with the woman getting facial surgery. "The eye of the beholder" or something along those lines

They should do a remake of Groundhog Day. Make a bunch of fancy trailers with over the top cinematic effects. Whole 9.

Then play the original Groundhog Day, completely unedited.

Muppet Interstellar.

"It's not possible... "

No, it's necessary.

[-] Polisheocket@lemmy.zip 2 points 3 days ago

I liked the remake of midway but much else. If it’s not featuring muppets and newer then 50 years old, probably doesn’t need a remake

[-] rounding_error@lemmy.today 2 points 3 days ago

Muppets Hamilton

[-] mctoasterson@reddthat.com 19 points 4 days ago

Muppet Apocalypse Now.

Muppet Gangs of New York.

Muppet Fight Club.

There Will Be (Muppet) Blood.

Muppet American History X.

Muppet Eyes Wide Shut.

As soon as The Muppets and Lucasfilm were both owned by Disney, my friends and I spent a lot of time taking about how a Muppet Star Wars just makes sense.

Now, it's a bit of a crowded space, with Blue Harvest and Space Balls already doing a lot of parody work in this area, but I think there's still room. The only problem is that I think the normal formula would have Luke be played by a human and everyone else be Muppets, but Kermit feels like he'd be a great Luke. So you'd need one of the other key roles to be human to balance it out.

[-] yermaw@sh.itjust.works 8 points 4 days ago

I think we'd need a human Yoda too. Just an any guy.

[-] NotBillMurray@lemmy.world 8 points 4 days ago

Danny DeVito would make a good yoda.

Well they keep making Godzilla movies. I think I could watch a Muppet Godzilla movie.

[-] artifex@piefed.social 18 points 4 days ago

The Matrix. John Wick. Dune. Get the original directors on board for the remakes. The possibilities are endless.

[-] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 12 points 4 days ago

Miss Piggy has the range to star in all 3. And with Keanu's blessing, I bet.

Plugging "The Muppets Christmas Carol" as the most accurate version of the book. Hands-down, the Muppets actually make some quality content.

[-] OS2Warp@lemmy.zip 2 points 3 days ago

I thought the most accurate version was the Patrick Stewart one

Tap for casting spolierIt even has McNutty in it from The Wire!

What's wrong with Muppet remakes of Muppet movies? What if the Muppets puppeteered their own little Muppets? Muppetroyshka.

Makes me glad they wrapped up Farscape even if it was rushed and they screwed up Pilot's voice.

Another option is throw a director/team that is as close to opposite as possible for the remake, lion king? why not see what tarantino would do
