The Jetsons...Live Action Movie?

I don't know whether to laugh or cry.


No Caption Provided

I supposes it was inevitable.  It appears the Jetsons are getting their own live action movie.  Now before you start having bad flashbacks to the live action Flintstones movies (I admit I've never watched them), things may not be as bad as you'd think.  Who is involved in the making of this movie?

Robert Rodriguez.

The future's starting to look pretty good now.  Rodriguez has recently told MTV that his long rumored project is going to happen.  The question is how is he going to pull it off.  I'm not just talking about making it happen and making it look good.  Rodriguez is a pretty busy guy.  We've heard about his Predator reboot.  Sin City 2 is supposed to happen sometime.  He is going to work on a spin-off for Grindhouse called Machette.  MTV also mentioned a "sci-fi thriller" Neverackers.  And of course I'm still waiting for the live action Madman movie that he and Mike Allred have been toying around with forever.

Rodriguez said he's hoping to start shooting The Jetsons next year.  Adam F. Goldberg (Fanboys) wrote an early script but it seems it's been rewritten now.

Who could possibley play George Jetson?  Will his hair be orange?  Is Rosie going to be updated?  Would they even think of having the movie without the theme song?

  


Do you have any interest in a Jetsons movie?

Hence the "long rumored" and finally confirmed to start shooting next year part.

My hopes are that Orbity is not a part of this.

Think "The Brady Bunch"  the film was true to it's roots, but, it poked fun at itself the whole time.

Someone out there actually thinks this is commercially viable? Cocaine is a hell of a drug.

Pfft. Jane, what a golddigger. George told her what's what. Should've just let her drop without her glass bubble thing.

That is along my line of thinking!!    Rosie the Robot is a lesbo...just putting that out there.....

Why Rodriquez would waste his time and talent on this one is beyond me.  Love his stuff, he'd probably do it for his kids, I guess.  That, and a paycheck. 

  I barely recall that bit of Madman movie news and forgot Rodriguez 's rumored involvement.  A Madman movie..THAT would rock my skull! Now I want my Madman movie.......AARRGGHHHH!!

Yeah, I'm a sick ******* - I'd like to see somebody like Dennis Leary as George Jetson. But, what I'd like to see is somebody who's a stand-up comic, if not Leary, then somebody like Steve Martin, y'know, like Steve Martin, Catherine O'Hara as Jane. How about Ed O'Neill? This could be a fun - trippy - movie. I think I saw the first Flintstones movie with John Goodman and Rick Moranis, but it's been so long - it's like the 60's - if you remember it you weren't there.

I prefer the Family Guy version of the Jetsons where George stops Jane from taking his wallet. Here's an extract of the script.

Music: Jane, his wife (Jane steals wallet)

George (Stopping Jane from escaping) Ah Ah Ah, No No! I took this one out for you. You're not taking my whole wallet so you can go shopping!
Jane: I was only going to by some groceries.
George: (In a glaring manner) Bull...Shit!

Jane is later seen dead on a pavement with a $20 bill thrown on her in rage.

 Bull...Shit!
