Statler and Waldorf.
Statler and Waldorf as stand-ins for any Matthau and Lemmon movie.
This is brilliant!
How about Amadeus? Salieri can be Sam the Eagle and Mozart can be Crazy Harry, who not only does the trademark crazy laugh but also blows up his piano at the end of each performance. Keep Jeffrey Jones as the emperor.
Kermit: The Dude
John Goodman: Walter
Fozi (or maybe Beaker): Donnie
Big Bird: The Big Lebowski
Janet: Bunny Lebowsk
Pepe the King Prawn: Jesus
Swedish Chef: Nilhilist leader
Miss Piggy: Maude Lebowski
Dr. Bunsen Honeydew: Brandt
Animal: Jackie Treehorn
Gonzo: The Stranger (Sam Elliot’s role)
Witness for the Prosecution (1957): Waldorf is Charles Laughton, Miss Piggy is Elsa Lanchester, Kermit is the judge, the witch from The Frog Prince is Una O’Connor, Prairie Dawn is “the other woman,” Grover is Sir Wilfred’s assistant, and Fozzie Bear is Tyrone Power; keep Marlene Dietrich.
Did you not see my earlier post? Any Steve Buscemi role can be, and I would argue, must be, recast with Gonzo.
And vice-versa.
Basic Instinct. Kermit in the Michael Douglas role, with Fozzie as his buddy-cop sidekick and Miss Piggy in the Jeanne Tripplehorn role. Sharon Stone is, obviously, the only human.
