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

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 3 months ago (2 children)

The blood rave scene with Muppets lmao

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

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

[–] owenfromcanada@lemmy.ca 29 points 3 months ago (2 children)

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 3 months ago

Swedish Chef as Tom Bombadil is perfect!

[–] Hoimo@ani.social 6 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Elijah Wood muppified, but he turns more and more human as the Ring corrupts him. Gollum is fully human, nude, slimy.

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.

[–] theedqueen@lemmy.world 28 points 3 months ago (2 children)

All I want is Muppet Princess Bride, but no one will make it

[–] Aneb@lemmy.world 24 points 3 months ago

This actually sounds genius. Be the change you want to see in the world!

Muppet Apocalypse Now.

Muppet Gangs of New York.

Muppet Fight Club.

There Will Be (Muppet) Blood.

Muppet American History X.

Muppet Eyes Wide Shut.

[–] nightofmichelinstars@sopuli.xyz 7 points 3 months ago

I'd see Muppet Fight Club in theaters. That and Muppet Bridesmaids.

[–] mycodesucks@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago

You forgot Muppet Taxi Driver.

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

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 12 points 3 months ago

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

“There are fields, Gonzo, where people are no longer born. They are sewn.”

[–] RST987@infosec.pub 7 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Imagine. Dune. But instead of a worm, an giant elongated Cookie Monster. Or the Matrix, when Kermit meets the Architect for the first time and instead is the Big Yellow Bird. Also every Machine should have Gonzos face.

Gonzo Watney, left behind & thought to be dead, needs to science the shit out some stuff as he survives alone in 'The Muppets go to Mars'

Muppet Requiem for a Dream.

Gonzo going ass to ass might be too much

[–] EbenezerScrew@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago

I am only watching if they get Keith David back. I am not sure who else could deliver the line "Baby, I know it's pretty, but I didn't take it out for air."

[–] affenlehrer@feddit.org 6 points 3 months ago

You mean "meet the feebles"?

[–] EditsHisComments@lemmy.world 14 points 3 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

It's the second-best version of A Christmas Carol, after the Blackadder version.

For a moment I thought this was a gaming community for some unholy reason, and I immediately imagined a Skyrim remake with Muppets

[–] jackal@infosec.pub 8 points 3 months ago (2 children)

I feel like you could reskin characters in so many games and make them muppets. That’d be a great mod.

What is better - to be born not wanting cookie, or to overcome your cookie eating nature through great effort?

This needs to be widely distributed in Hollywood immediately.

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

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 3 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] NotBillMurray@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Danny DeVito would make a good yoda.

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

Muppet Interstellar.

No, it's necessary.

I'll take one Muppet Amadeus, one Muppet Lawrence of Arabia, and one Muppet Yojimbo please.
