Pride & Prejudice
hunk ‘o spunk as Mr Darcy. Um, yes please.
Goldstein was interviewing a selection of Muppets — Miss Piggy, Gonzo, Robin and Kermit the Frog — to discuss the 30th anniversary of the impeccable for .
It started off strong, with Goldstein correctly calling the adaptation “the greatest film of all time”. I love a man with taste. Go off Roy Kent.
In the interview he brought up his ideal Muppet adaptation: .
He was absolutely doing the Lord’s work here ‘cos the internet has been calling for this for some time.
“You’ve done . You’ve done . You’ve done ,” he said.
“Are there any other classics you’d like to adapt, and can I please pitch that we make ?”
Miss Piggy was immediately into the idea.
“Brett, can you get green lit?” she asked.
In the hypothetical flick, Goldstein would play Fitzwilliam Darcy and Miss Piggy would play his love interest Elizabeth Bennett. Move over and .
“Let’s see how much pull you and me together, as a package, has in this town,” Goldstein suggested.
Hopefully it’s enough to get greenlit ‘cos gosh damn I need that in my life.
We’ve cast our lead roles, so that leaves the question of who the rest of the cast would be.
I absolutely love this suggestion of Kermit as Mr Bingley.
If we’re pairing Miss Piggy with the very human Brett Goldstein, I reckon we should do the same for Kermie. So my pitch for Jane Bennett is — I can see it now!
Everyone else in the cast would be Muppets. We’ve already had the excellent suggestion of Fozzie Bear as Mr Collins and I reckon Gonzo and Rizzo the Rat would make a terrific Mr and Mrs Bennett. The possibilities are endless.
Disney, I am politely requesting that you make this happen ASAP.
Every time this comes around I say Muppet Pride and Prejudice. Colin Firth reprises his role as Mr. Darcy opposite an all-Muppet cast. https://t.co/YSnZvbMB3L
