Live Action Muppet Movie - Who Would Play Kermit!

Message Bookmarked

Bookmark Removed

Its just been announced that Henson/Disney are planning a l;ive action Muppet movie. When I say live action, I mean actual actors, a la Jim Carrey in the Grinch and Mike Myers in The Cat In The sHat dressed up as/digitally enhanced/prosthetically turned into.

So who would play Kermit / Miss Piggy / Gonzo / Beeker?

KILL ME

David Schwimmer/Barbra Steisand/Johnny Depp/Dunno

I though Dave Matthews had that locked up.

Uh, doesn't this defeat the entire purpose of Muppets? I mean, prior to Carrey and Myers, the Grinch and the Cat in the Hat had only been animated. But the Muppets have always interacted with humans, in their Muppet form -- that's always been one of their most appealing characteristics and was a huge part of the success of The Muppet Show (look, Tony Orlando's talking to a puppet bear!).

Beeker = Anthony Miccio (sorry, dude)

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Thursday, 18 March 2004 16:26 (twenty-two years ago)

I'll play beeker if Jess plays Honeydew. Otherwise I'm afraid Andrew Farrell has to die this fucking second.

I really did not think my day could get any worse, it turns out that I just lack imagination.

It's all about finding the right photos, at the right angles.

Chris Patten for Kermit?

― the beefox, Thursday, 18 March 2004 21:26 (twenty-two years ago)

Is this going to be better or worse than Garfield The Movie.

I wonder.

― Ricardo (RickyT), Thursday, 18 March 2004 21:28 (twenty-two years ago)

Garfield is going to be shit, I grant you, but this one is going to be way more disappointing.

― jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 18 March 2004 22:25 (twenty-two years ago)

I sure as hell this announcement is some kind of joke. Humans playing muppets...wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
