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.

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 days ago

Being John Malkovich,

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

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

Cast Away. Tom Hanks.

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