Fountainhead Remake with The Muppets


So now that I have you attention….

The Muppets present The Fountainhead (The Muppets Take Manhattan, Part II)

Here is my suggestion for the cast:

Howard Roark - Sam the Eagle
Dominique Francon - Miss Piggy

While Miss Piggy as Miss Francon is sort of a no brainer, it is a tougher call on Roark. Let me just get this out of the way - NO, it can't be Kermit. I know what some are thinking; is Sam the Eagle really capable of carrying the film in a leading role? I say he is really the only one to consider.

It does get more complex from there, but I tried to put my "What would Ayn do?" hat on. A strange fitting hat on my head I'll admit, but I've come up with:

Peter Keating - Kermit the Frog
Gail Wynand - Oscar the Grouch
Gordon L. Prescott - Statler and Waldorf
Ellsworth M. Toohey - Fozzy the Bear (I think Fozzy can really pull this off although I understand it takes some creative thinking. C'mon, let us honor Miss Rand and think outside of the box!)
Steven Mallory - Mr. Snuffleupagus
Henry Cameron - The Swedish Chef
Austen Heller - Ernie
Roger Enright - Beaker
Mike (Construction Worker Friend of Howard)- Big Bird
Alvah Scarret (Editor of the Banner)- Animal
Guy Francon - Gonzo
John Fargo - Count von Count

There are other various and sundry characters that I think one could safely put any of the Fraggles in those roles. If this were the actual cast, a director might actually be able to use these fine actors to try a make sense of Rand's um...unique story telling skills.

i think that you are mixing up the Muppets and Sesame Street. However, Gail Wynand is probably better played by Elmo. Of the "heroes" in The Fountainhead, Gail Wynand is probably third just below Howard Roark and Dominique Francon.

Hey, after ASIII, pretty much anything would be an improvement.
