Quentin Tarantino will star alongside Kermit the Frog and the rest of Jim Henson's Muppets in the new Muppet movie, which is based on The Wizard of Oz.

Tarantino plays himself in the movie, and he will coach Kermit on how to act his part in the film. The film begins production in Canada next month.

The part of the Wicked Witch of the West will be played by Miss Piggy (as if it could be played by anyone else).

Some of the other roles have been cast as follows:

Kermit the Frog - Scarecrow
Great Gonzo - Tin Man
Fozzie Bear - Cowardly Lion
Ashanti - Dorothy
Queen Latifah - Auntie Em

Please tell me this isn't the "Paul Hunter" directed Wizard of Oz that they've been talking about for years. I remember Queen Latifah was supposed to be attached to that one.

Good Lord... he used to be my favorite video director. It's been all downhill since that damn "Lady Marmalade" clip. puke puke puke

Queen Latifah is an excellent Oscar nominated actress. She would be a great Auntie Em. If you're gonna take issue with any casting here, again i say:

Queen Latifah may very well be a great actress. The problem is, the only character she ever plays is Queen Latifah. wink

The Queen can be in my court anyday, she's awesome.

But Ashanti? Come on.

And Paul Hunter was Docta's fav video director? Maybe I'm forgetting some of his stuff, but I always figured him for a Hype Williams disciple, all style no substance.

Tell me Kermit, when you came up to the Emerald City, did you notice a sign in front that said 'dead Muppet storage'? You know WHY you didn't see that sign, Kermit? 'Cause it ain't there, 'cause storing dead Muppets ain't my fuckin business!!

Shaft is absolutely created to be a black man, whereas Dorothy wasn't absolutely a white girl. The story doesn't need her to be a white girl. Shaft needs to be a black guy otherwise he's just Dirty Harry.

i don't know, maybe the character isn't but years and years of dorothy being depicted as a white girl sort of gives me certain expectations.
if i've seen a white dorothy all my life and now she's suddenly some black hiphop girl it kinda ruins the illusion from the getgo.
