@risottobias Kermit and Miss Piggie as Paul and the Princess 5/5

Alan Smith :ablobfoxbongo:

@rooster Muppet Die Hard is gonna rock :blobfoxheartcute:

LT Ms. Jessica, PhD

@TheIdOfAlan starring Miss Piggie doing karate-chops and Kermit her ex not giving her the time of day, I think Gonzo in a suit would be good for Gruber

Bruce Heerssen

@TheIdOfAlan @rooster
I'm really looking forward to Animal starring as Jason Voorhees in The Muppets On Friday The Thirteenth

It's Dug!

@bruce @TheIdOfAlan @rooster Well they both took Manhattan, so they've got that in common already.

@rooster
Struggling to think what movie could not benefit from a Muppet version.

danblondell

@rooster
Like Muppet The Bridge on the River Kwai wouldn’t be better than the original, but it would be, in some sense, better for it.

@kranzi @rooster
Are you suggesting muppets don’t have range?

AIR FORCE ONE STARRING SAM THE EAGLE THIS CONTENT IS FREE HOLLYWOOD

TRADING PLACES WITH WALDORF AND STATLER MAKING A BET ABOUT KERMIT AND FOZZIE BEAR

A Person Named Dan

@rooster This is clearly madness brought on by the extended clamato convo lmao

LT Ms. Jessica, PhD

Because this honestly works better as a bunch of shorts it would be really funny to do a long-form mocumentary of the Muppets trying to remake a bunch of movies

LT Ms. Jessica, PhD

The Muppets are trying to remake a movie as a Muppet version and different folks keep bringing in their sample reels to convince Kermit and Animal shows up with his and it's just shots of cities and trains with Animal singing Koyaanisqatsi in the background

A January Sponge

@rooster I'm not a huge Muppet fan, but I'd pay to see that version of Koyaanisqatsi. Animal accompanying Philip Glass 😆😆😆

LT Ms. Jessica, PhD

@retrosponge Phillip Glass making a cameo coming in to pitch it with Animal would be incredible

David Nathanson

@rooster @retrosponge My dinner with Andre but it’s Animal and Beaker.

Buffy Leigh (she/they)

@rooster We most definitely need a Muppets Koyaanisqatsi.

Jay

@rooster War Games but it’s Gonzo trying to hack into the Pentagon per Rizzo’s sarcastic remark about how that might be his only shot to find evidence of his alien family and against all odds he somehow does it, only to start an experimental supercomputer - and with it, the world - on the road to thermonuclear war.

A running gag is that Gonzo keeps mispronouncing “nuclear” and keeps getting corrected by everyone.

LT Ms. Jessica, PhD

@WhiteCatTamer omg The Devil's Advocate with Gonzo as the lawyer and RIzzo as the Devil

Fifty Shades of HAPPY PRIDE🏳‍

@rooster

I'd love that. I'd love to see them re-do Carrie with Miss Piggy in the role or Fifty Shades of Green starring Kermit
🤣 🤣

LT Ms. Jessica, PhD

@Deathsjoker omg no Miss Piggy is 100% Carrie's mom I can see her saying "they're all gonna laugh at you!"

Anke

@Deathsjoker @rooster
I only know the book, but I have a feeling Muppets "It" should be mostly Muppets and Pennywise played by a human.

MineMcG

@rooster
Only if they learn how to make movies again. So far everything, except a few, are good, say 1 in every 1000.
Deadpool and wolverine would be nice with puppets 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Noahharvey

@rooster in the age of cgi nobody wants to cover the cost of talented puppeteers

Lot⁴⁹

@rooster Can't wait for the Muppet version of "Schindler's List." Or maybe "The Bridge on the River Kwai."

Alison BOOK

@rooster Animal as the President of the USA.. in any movie with POTUS..

Noah Cook

@rooster Potentially unpopular opinion: Muppet Star Wars would actually be better than the original.

cR0w

@rooster Rocky Horror Picture Show where they're all Muppets except Sarandon and Curry.

Sam Levine

@rooster Apollo 13, Kermit is obviously Lovell, but who are Swigert and Haise? And Miss Piggy chewing the scenery as Marilyn Lovell would be great.

LT Ms. Jessica, PhD

@ChrisWere "It's a serious story why are you ending it with wakka wakka?!"

Dinkenfunkle

@rooster

Have they not been doing that already? 🤔 You mean ... those recent remakes aren't muppet movies?

cliffle

@rooster I've had a Muppets remake of Cabaret [queer 90s stage version] in the back of my head for a while

Hound of the Basketcases

@rooster Strangers on a Train - Annie Sue Pog and Robin the Frog

Lars Fosdal

@rooster
The Dark Knit [sic] starring Fozzie Bear as Batman, Beaker as Robin, Gonzo as the Penguin, Kermit as Gordon, Sam Eagle as Alfred, Animal as the Joker, Miss Piggy as Catwoman, Rowlf as Rolwf Al-Ghoul, Floyd Pepper as Two-Face, Janice as Poison Ivy, Dr.Teeth as Riddler

It would work :)

#MuppetMovieRemake

@rooster Key Largo or The Big Sleep with Kermit and Miss Piggy

The Psychotic Network Ferret

@rooster Dammit.

Now I really want A Muppet's Battlestar Galactica

Mastokarl

@rooster Muppets the Lord of the rings with Fozzie Bear as Frodo, Kermit as Aragorn and Miss Piggy as Arwen (of course). And probably that professor muppet as Sauron?

dennisaurus

@Mastokarl @rooster Miss Piggy as Eowyn so she can HI-YAAAH! chop the Witch King.

Vigo Mortensen reprises Aragorn as the token human.

@rooster When Harry met Sally, with Beaker as Sally?

FiXato

@rooster heh, when trying to find out if the Muppets had already done some Men in Black spoof beyond the parody t-shirts that were popular in the late 90s early 2000s (apparently there was a Muppets in Space episode? muppet.fandom.com/wiki/Men_in_), I found out they did a 1999 calendar with movie parody posters: muppet.fandom.com/wiki/Muppet_

@rooster

"Grease", please.

And "Pulp Fiction"

Ian K Tindale

@rooster I’d also allow Scooby-doo versions, personally, but that’s just me
