Keep Jodie Foster instead of Anthony Hopkins, because I'd love to see Hannibal Lecter as a Muppet.

I like it. Been thinking about the ladies roles that need to stay...

Or the ladies who have to stay in role, everytime.
Someone on the twitter thread mentioned Sigourney Weaver.

Seems particularly suited. I was thinking Blazing Saddles.

Pretty Woman. At the horse race, and on Rodeo drive. Ha.

He's my all time favorite actor. So yes! Baha.

Any Bond film w Connery!.

The Breakfast Club would be fantastic.

Of course, keeping Daniel Day Lewis was my first thought, but it might be better to keep Brenden Gleeson, instead. I’d love to see a Muppet Bill the Butcher.

The villians in any movie would be great. Some people I just want to see in muppet form.
DiCaprio would be good one.

Keeping Kiefer Sutherland would be interesting. His snarly faces and attitude would be ridiculous directed at a crew of underling vampire Muppets.
And I want to see vampire Grover.

That film is my favorite vampire one. Jason Patrick is great. It's so campy, as in good 80s. I picked Sutherland too. Those kids already are pretty whimsical.

A muppet yell "We are Sparta!"
So any Sparta, or Troy type movie. Plus the way they run is funny, so any mass amount of them charging into battle.
