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

[–] Polisheocket@lemmy.zip 2 points 6 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 6 days ago

Muppets Hamilton

But what about all the gender or race swap possibilities?

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 1 week ago (3 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 28 points 1 week ago (4 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 1 week ago

Swedish Chef as Tom Bombadil is perfect!

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 1 week ago (2 children)

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

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

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 week 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 6 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!

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 1 week ago (2 children)

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

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

This needs to be widely distributed in Hollywood immediately.

[–] Kowowow@lemmy.ca 11 points 1 week ago (2 children)

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 1 week ago (1 children)

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

[–] NotBillMurray@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week 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.
