This is going to get me put on a watchlist...

  • Six String Samurai: The boy
  • A Boy and His Dog: The boy
  • Time Bandits: The boy
  • Brazil: Robert De Niro
  • The World of Kanako: This would be an unhinged fever dream no matter who is picked. I'd like to propose Ogata for shock value in a particular scene, but I think either Kanako or the main character detective overall work better
  • The entire Saw franchise: Jigsaw
  • SLC Punk: Heroin Bob
  • Tokyo Gore Police: Key Man
  • Hook: Everyone in the real world is human, everyone but hook in Neverland is a muppet, and Robin Williams starts human but by the end is a muppet
  • Les Mis: Javert
  • X: The old woman
  • Swiss Army Man: Daniel Radcliffe or Paul Dani could work here but I prefer the dead body
  • Any zombie movie but people start human and turn to muppets when bit. I nominate - - - Train to Busan
  • Audition (1999): The main character

Twilight, bella is of course the human. Imagine her riding a muppet vampire's shoulders as he runs through the forest, that would be a fun movie to film

Fifth Element - Bruce Willis

The attempted mugging would be hilarious. The cookie monster screaming "gimme da cookies!" Miss Piggy as the supreme being.

The Shawshank Redemption - Clancy Brown

When my wife saw that movie for the first time and hollered out, "That's Clancy Brown!!" I then knew why his voice was so familiar to me.

So now I'm imagining Mr. Krabs absolutely fed up with and not taking shit from any of these Muppets.

So either that or Airplane! and keep Leslie Nielsen

Cast Away. Tom Hanks.

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

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.

Either Alien (Ian Holm as Ash), Aliens (Lance Henriksen as Bishop) or maybe Terminator (Arnold Schwarzenegger as the Terminator). Just for the big reveal of "he's a machine", with all the muppets being like "oh woooow, that's insane, we literally couldn't tell him apart from us!"

Crocodile Dundee but only the knife is real

[–] jcacedit@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

Debbie Does Dallas, keep Debbie

  • Iron man, the only human is happy the driver.
  • All adam sandler movies and adam sandler is the only human (I believe it would just amplify his movies)
[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 17 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (5 children)

Star Trek Into Darkness - keep Benedict Cumberbatch.

Add: Stargate - keep James Spader.

(Both movies are narrated by Gonzo the Great.)

Keep John Travolta

Miss Piggy would have to play Sandy

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

[–] BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz 12 points 4 days ago (2 children)

My first thought: John Wick movies and keeping Keanu

But he only plays "half" of Borden.

From Dusk Til Dawn, Salma Hayek.

Just imagining the perverted little Tarantino and Cheech puppets is giving me titters.

My wife said: Legally blond, keep Witherspoon

Any of the Die Hard franchise, really. It makes McClane seem like a complete fucking schizo to the point you wonder if this is all happening in his head a la Sucker Punch.

[–] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 6 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

While that's fun. I prefer Hans as the only human.

Alan Rickman giving an identical performance with Muppets sounds like a perfect film.

"Civil War" from 2024, but only Jesse Plemons is human.

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

[–] Adderbox76@lemmy.ca 5 points 4 days ago

The Shawshank Redemption. Morgan Freeman

[–] jpeps@lemmy.world 6 points 4 days ago

Donnie Darko. Donnie Darko.

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