Ok so I finally saw muppet's Treasure Island and Christmas Carol recently and I have a half an hour before work ends for real, so here are my thoughts on who I would cast in:
Strahd should be played by a human, this one point I refuse to budge on. A shakespearen theatre actor, who will play it with the complete serious sincerity the role requires. His bats are a chorus of muppets, of course, as is his horse. I'm debating on what the brides should be, but I'm leaning towards being either custom muppets or humans as well. In Ravenloft that leaves us with...
I feel like Sam the Eagle could do the required amount of silent judging and brooding. In Treasure Island he has proven he can play an excellent second in command as well. Now this does leave me with a question. Are ALL dusk elves eagles? Should he be wearing elf ears? I'm open to suggestions for Kazimir, as he has continued to elude me. But I do know who Patrina should be.
Going a bit further to Vallaki...
They evoke the same fear in me.
Fozzie has shown to be very capable of the jolly leader role, I feel like giving that a sinister edge would be such a great growing opportunity for him. Now Lydia and Victor again give me pause. Should they be humans? Should they also be bears?
Oh now SHE has to be human, again, very serious and sinister performance.
HEAR ME OUT! Why have ONE grumpy old guy, when you could have two? Just imagine the running commentary. That bring us to,
Again, I feel very confident is casting her as a human. You might say, oh? Shouldn't she be Miss Piggy? But no, I have other plans for her. There is someone very important we have not cast yet.
Given the tender heartache she brought to her role in Christmas Charol, I am confident Miss Piggy could play the gentle, loving girl being hunted by the evil lord, and we all know how well she can carry a romane! Once Ireena starts to fight back, her technical skill in hand to hand combat could also shine. Now I mentioned romance, which mean we need a love interest.
Kermit's sweet and honest nature would fit Sergei very well. I hear your questions and I have answers.
-But that's too small of a role! The Sun Sword and flashbacks my friend. If 50% of campaigns can do that, so can a movie. We don't worry about canon here. Also maybe Miss Piggy deserves a turn as the star!
-But Strahd isn't a frog? Yes, that's his problem. Also don't divide siblings like that, it's what's inside that counts!
-Would he sing? Brother, they ALL sing. Including Strahd.
Again, I feel like this role should go to a human, but I'm not a 100%. I could very easily be convinced otherwise. Of equal importance as the ones before:
Again, no comments required.
I actually don't have any strong feelings on Krezk. If anyone has ideas please add them. What I do have strong feelings about is the structure of the movie. I'm sure you have noticed to absences. I feel like the movie should have a narration similar to Christmas Carol. Now who could do that? A dungeon master? Nah, that's too obvious a choice, for one. The narrator should be...
If Gonzo could play Charles Dickens they can play Madam Eva, they have the range. Rizzo is an unwilling part of the adventuring party, though he tries to be part of the narration.
As for the party, and this is the second reason I did not just want a regular dm: there is no group of adventurers! Ireena, Ismark, Ezme and Rizzo take on the fight against the count, often guided by Sergei/the Sun Sword. It's time for the NPCs to get a turn!
