Rocky Horror. Susan Sarandon.

This is hands down the funniest option for this film, I have thought about this before.

Statler and Waldorf play Riff-Raff and Magenta, Kermit plays Brad, Miss Piggy is Frank.

I had a whole muppet fancast for this at one point, but it's been at least a decade since then and I can't remember any more of them.

Edit: adding as it comes back to me, we had Fozzie as Eddie and Gonzo as Columbia.

Weekend at Bernie's. Bernie.

[–] Sturgist@lemmy.ca 11 points 2 months ago

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, obviously Johnny Depp as the only human. Basically no difference.

A live-action Lorax. Danny DeVito is the only human, and he's wearing a Lorax costume.

My wife said: Legally blond, keep Witherspoon

[–] QuoVadisHomines@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Keep Jennifer Coolidge. Piggy is Reese's role and Kermit is Luke Wilson's role

This was done with a Muppet Christmas Carol and Michael Caine to excellent results. Really a top notch interpretation and acting. Highly recommend

Being John Malkovich - John Malkovich
~~also Airplane! - John Malkovich~~

the man was made to pitch a fit in front of a bunch of muppets

edit: i looked it up and apparently he wasn't in Airplane! ...? am i going crazy?

edit 2: I was confusing Stephen Stucker playing the crazy guy Johnny with John Malkovich

Airplane - Stephen Stucker

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 8 points 2 months ago

Being John Malkovich,

Keep anyone other than John Malkovich, in fact John Malkovich is the only puppet.

The Matrix. Hugo Weaving (Agent Smith) as the only non-muppet.

The Secretary - Maggie Gyllenhaal

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang - RDJ (I think this one would be fun the muppets could pull this off well)

Saving Private Ryan - Tom Hanks

Precious - Gabourey Sidibe

[–] BmeBenji@lemm.ee 8 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Transformers. Keep only John Turturro. The rest, even the Transformers, are played by normal sized muppets.

Bumblebee is played by Beaker, obviously. And seeing Megan Fox replaced by Miss Piggy sounds like a fever dream

[–] livingcoder@programming.dev 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Cast Away. Tom Hanks.

It's a movie that starts really goofy, gets serious for a long time, and is then oddly goofy again.
