Muppet Lord of the Rings

Thanks to some vigorous crowdmelding earlier today we have a workable cast for the 
Muppet Lord of the Rings!

Gollum and (surprisingly) Bombadil were the most hotly contested roles among our muppety actors, whilst casting the highly bankable frog and pig stars so as to maintain their chemistry while remaining true to the source text proved a challenge.

Interestingly, hot properties Gonzo, Swedish Chef and Waldorf & Statler were most in demand for multiple roles.

The all-important Gandalf role remains undecided, with several deceased actors contesting with stars who have already done their stint with Kermit and crew. This part remains open, though I can announce that Patrick Stewart and Derek Jacobi are in talks.
