Requiem for a Dream - Ellen Burstyn.

The entire movie would seem like her descent into amphetamine fueled madness.

Harry Potter. Keep Alan Rickman obviously.

I would watch the shit out of this. Maybe before I die AI will get good enough to make this a reality for me.

Hateful 8.

Samuel L Jackson.

"You goddam sock puppet shot my balls off!!"

I would pay to see that.

Pulp Fiction. Bruce Willis.

This is cheating a little bit because Bruce Willis is already a muppet.

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

Crocodile Dundee but only the knife is real

[–] 0x01@lemmy.ml 22 points 4 days ago (3 children)

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

Debbie Does Dallas, keep Debbie

Cast Away. Tom Hanks.

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

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!"

Rocky Horror. Susan Sarandon.

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

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

[–] WoolyNelson@lemmy.world 20 points 4 days ago

Taken - Liam Neeson

[–] Adderbox76@lemmy.ca 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

The Matrix Reloaded. But only one Agent Smith is Hugo Weaving. The rest are puppets

[–] sunbytes@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

The hurt locker.

But only the guy who gets blown up at the start is a human.

[–] BmeBenji@lemm.ee 8 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days 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

Star Trek VII, Marina Sirtis.

Star Trek Into Darkness - keep Benedict Cumberbatch.

Add: Stargate - keep James Spader.

(Both movies are narrated by Gonzo the Great.)

The Prestige. Christian Bale.

But he only plays "half" of Borden.

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

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 3 days ago* (last edited 3 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.
