Which films do you think should be remade as Muppet movies a la A Christmas Carol.
Name the movie, the human role (and actor if not the original).

Last Hussar22 Jan 2022 5:30 p.m. PST

I'm thinking Terminator, keeping Arnie.

"It's a wonderful life" would work well as a Muppet movie.

The Three Musketeers. I would love to see Miss Piggy as the Lady de Winters.

Maid in Manhattan Piggy in the J Lo role (and Kermy

None. I think the Muppets have reached the end of their useful life cycle.

The Iliad
The Odyssey
Gilgamesh

Since they would remake the movie, it doesn't really matter which crappy movie version of these stories is the basis. Basically, back to The Storyteller.

I think Brian Henson has found his groove. After a couple of missteps of "let the 'professionals' help you" post Jim Henson's death, I think they could do something worthwhile.

Saving Private Ryan is the obvious answer. Keep Tom Hanks is Capt. Miller.

dramatis personae
Fozzy Bear as Sgt. Horvath
Gonzo as Wade
Rizzo as Mellish
Rowlf as Reiben
Sweetums as Caparzo
Swedish Chef as Jackson
Kermit as Upham
Scooter as Ryan

…and then just do a shot for shot remake. Same dialogue and everything. Genius.

Basic Instinct

Piggy in the Sharon Stone roll. Polly Shore replaces Michael Douglas

Frankenstein
Almost anything Sherlock Holmes
Taming of the Shrew
A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court

MANOS:The Hands Of Fate -

Kermit, Piggy and Annie Sue as the family.
Fozzy as Torgo.
Gomnzo as The Master and all the chickens as his wives.

In a dystopian vein:

Zardoz
Logan's Run
Soylent Green
Network
A Clockwork Orange

Or, for movies I don't watch:

Friday the 13th
Halloween
Saw
IKWYDLS
Nightmare on Elm Street

Gonzo has to be the bad guy in all of them, replacing gristly murders with a pie in the face – same degree of splatter.

Casablanca my all time favorite movie and it when lend itself to great casting
Rick=Kermit
Ilsa=miss piggy
Victor=Fozzy bear
Renault=Gonoz
Strasser+ Sam the eagle (not sure if he would do that role :) )
ugarte= rizzo the rat
Ferrari= DR Bunsen and the rest

I'm not sure that A Muppets Clockwork Orange would work evil grin

How about something a bit more family-friendly?

Like A Muppets The Good The Bad and The Ugly….

The Princess Bride
This is the only possible remake of that finest of films that would be acceptable.
