For a long time I've had this idea in my head to remake Pulp Fiction with The Muppets.

A shot-for-shot remake, with the shooting script, starring:

Kermit as Vincent Vega
Gonzo as Jules Winnfield
Miss Piggy as Mia Wallace
Fozzy Bear as Butch Coolidge
Sam the Eagle as Marcellus Wallace
Swedish Chef as Winston Wolf
Janice as Honey Bunny
Scooter as Pumpkin
Rowlf the Dog as Captain Koons

My idea: Tim Burton's "The Wizard of Oz"--

No musical numbers.
95% CGI.
Dorothy is a punky, spunky goth girl with a talking cat.
Seth Rogen as the Cowardly Lion.
Orlando Bloom as the Tin Man.
Helena Bonham Carter is Auntie Em.
Johnny Depp is The Wizard and all other guises.
Dorothy is the chosen one brought to Oz to fulfill the prophecy of destroying her cosmic opposite by joining the Oz resistance in order to bring democracy to the merry 'ol land of Oz.
In 3-D!
Part 1 of a Trilogy (of Quadrilogy if the numbers are solid) Prequel in a decade.

In the first one, Marty travels thirty years in the past to the 1980s after being chased by er...uh North Korean, yeah, North Korean terrorists in his time traveling Prius. He experiences such time traveling culture shocks as no internet...and...Walkmans instead of iPods...and well that's about it.

Blue Velvet. By anyone other than who originally did it.

How about Busey directing Cronenberg?!

Your mind = blown

It's funny how many sacred films weren't even original works. The Wizard of Oz, The Godfather, The Bridge on the River Kwai were all novels. Casablanca was an unproduced play. I'm not saying anything about anyone's choices, mind you. I just find it interesting in general how many times people discuss those kinds of classics without remembering they didn't originate as films. Anyway, how would you feel about...

I'd be up for that. I find that movie to be complete and utter shit and Tom Hanks is a much better actor than Jimmy Stewart was.
