This could work.. I could see it. One more thing.
Though I like him in other movies, I swear on all that is holy if they cast The Rock as Fezzik, I’m out.
1 is good, but 2… Obviously, Kermit is Wesley, and Miss Piggy is Buttercup. The really big muppet with the super large nose and ginormous head is in Andre the Giant’s role. Inigo Montoya is played by Gonzo, and their leader is played by Swedish Chef which will make the poison scene hilarious.
Peter Dinklage as the Sicilian
Pedro Pascal as Inigo Montoya
The Shaq as Fezzik
Anya Taylor Joy as Buttercup
Glen Powell as older Westley, post Dread Pirate Roberts
?? as younger Westley, pre Dread Pirate Roberts
Mandy Patinkin in a flashback as Inigo’s father
Eric Idle as the Bishop
Robert Downey Jr as the Prince Humperdink
Benedict Cumberbatch as the 6 fingered Man
Billy Crystal and Carol Kana as Miracle Max and wife, duh
Fred as Dad
Cary and Robin as members of the Prince’s court
We come in and Fred Savage is reading, intercut with the original movie, but when he gets to the end his daughter wants to hear more. There’s a side story of him trying to track down the next book, meanwhile they start winging it. They end up coming up with following Inigo. Mandy Patikin as Inigo is old and is regaling his accomplishments to his chosen successor. In his flashbacks he is played by Pedro Pascal, and they follow him through hijinks and some adventure or another.
At the end, Inigo meets up with Wesley and Buttercup. Fred Savage and daughter finish their story. Meanwhile, Fred has found the next book but hides it away because he likes their story better.
MadLori Voldemort has an intriguing idea. Naturally, NETFLIX will do it, and do it as a series. They’ll do a poor job of it. And then cancel it after one season, long before the story’s conclusion.
One of many problems with remaking a movie now is the current politics, it’s like a checklist do we have a a Poc check…is there a gay character, check, did.someone remember to book the non bininary activist, …..ok check …did someone remember to cancel the white guy were not allowed to have them anymore, oh and the story isn’t about Wesley and buttercup, buttercup doesn’t need to be rescued, she rescued herself and is now going to be the strong leader she is meant to be by going to war against the prince
Fred Savage should be a grandfather since he’s 47 it would work but he would just be a younger grandpa.
I am with this on both counts.
IMO, the only acceptable remake of any good movie is a Muppet remake
Watch Home Movie: The Princess Bride. It’s the best!

I support #1. Must have framed photo of Grandpa on the bedside table. ❤️
Successfully remake The Princess Bride?? Inconceivable!!
Best be scenario 1!!!!!!! If they screw this up, the people who adore the OG will be so mad!!!!
With Kermit and Miss Piggy the leads, Gonzo as Indigo,Swedish Chef as the bishop!
What would be the point ? There are very few perfect movies in the world, it would be a shame to spoil this one! 🙂
Just do both. Live action with grandfather and child. Muppets for everything else.
If it was just live action I doubt I would want to watch it.
No… there are some movies they just shouldn’t touch!! This is one of them!!
I’m down as long as the rock isn’t in it
Where are they going to find a giant? Even unemployed in Greenland?
Combine the two, the daughter is imagining the story with muppets
3. EXACTLY the same just with actual music and not a Yamaha keyboard…
I can’t get behind the 1st idea, but the 2nd…
Combine them and we are golden!
There’s really only one word to describe a remake of The Princess Bride – Inconceivable!
Yes!! To both of these!!! 100%!!!!
“Grandpa, I thought you said this book was about true love? When are we going to get to the good stuff…the kissing?” — the daughter
No to both options. The movie is a masterpiece. You don’t mess with perfection.
As Blasphemy goes, that’s not bad.

I could only handle #1
Even that would be hard

They did a remake already. It’s called “Men In Tights.”

As You Wish.
Another two years and he can be the grandfather role

Somebody in Hollywood needs to hire this visionary!
