Muppets Princess Bride
Hear me out. First things first, I love the Princess Bride. Own the book, audiobook, VHS, 3 copies on DVD, and 2 on Blu-Ray. What would make me say such near heresy then? It stems from discussion I had with someone about how Muppets Christmas Carol is best Christmas movie because takes a classic story and add Muppets. Then the idea popped in my head of could you make any movie better with Muppets. So I arrived at Muppets Princess Bride. Read my casting choices and then we shall fight to the pain.Westley/Dread Pirate Roberts - easy one, KermitButtercup - again easy with Miss PiggyInigo Montoya - GonzoFezzik - SweetumsVizzini - Rizzo the RatPrince Humperdink - Link Hogthrob (captain from Pigs in Space sketch)Miracle Max/Valerie - Waldorf and StatlerAlbino Monk - cheated here and split him into two characters, Bunsen and Beaker. Pit of Despair is now a lab. Imagine Sweetums hitting Beaker on his head.Grandpa - FozzyGrandson - Robin the Frog (or just have Fred Savage)The Impressive Clergyman - The Swedish ChefOld Hag from dream who screams Boo! - AnimalThe King - Sam EagleROUS - Those would be Rowlfs of Unusual SizeThe one role I can't settle on is Count Rugen, Tyrone. Closest I've gotten is either Pepe the Prawn or Uncle Deadly. At any rate in this version he doesn't kill Inigo's father, he simply steals Camilla the Chicken.Take one moment before you downvote this into oblivion and play out certain scenes in your head with this new cast. See Kermit and Gonzo doing the swordfight. Listen to Statler and Waldorf yelling about the Prince Humperdink, or Animal yelling at Piggy about leaving Kermit in the Fire Swamp. At any rate enjoy and maybe come back with your Muppet recasting of a movie.EDIT: After much feedback and thought, yes the main bad guy should be human. Adam Driver as Humperdink it is. via /r/movies https://ift.tt/2QzLmQv
