... like Robert and Harry are up each others "alleys" all the time. See what I did there? Homo-joke!
oh dear god, no by Magic Rat	May 8th, 2007 07:46:21 PM
That was a dumb cartoon and it's going to be a dumb movie, probably something like Inspector Gadget, and it'll bomb at the box office. I say no.
It had better be a hard R... by Alonzo Mosely	May 8th, 2007 07:47:35 PM
Don't we have to demand that on every film? Seriously, first this is yet another I just got off the phone story, does Harry post any other type anymore? Secondly, is there really any serious fanbase for The Jetsons? Isn't this just a case of Hollywood greenlighting any reimagining of an existing property rather than having to read new, original scripts...

William H. Macy as George, Danny DeVito as Spacely! by Sherman_Lives	May 8th, 2007 08:14:52 PM
And with Macy in the lead, let's get David Mamet to write the script!

Talk about another Development Hell movie... by Triumph poops!	May 8th, 2007 08:17:55 PM
For crying out loud, talk about a "name" property that you would think would have been fast tracked to the big screen ages ago. This thing has been in development hell for ages. I remember when they announced this as going into immediate production with Chevy Chase starring in it, and that was waaaaaay back when Chevy was a hot Hollywood property and in Chase features were in demand. Uh...I think there was a time like that. Well, least Hollywood thought so.
I would love for him not to make The Jetsons. by Frank Black	May 8th, 2007 08:28:43 PM
It wasn't even a great cartoon! Let's see a Jonny Quest movie or even Hong Kong Phooey would beat the Jetsons. If Robert even has time to entertain the idea of making this movie he is obviously not having nearly enough sex with Rose McGowan and if he is in play, why the f*ck didn't he just make the John Carter Warlord of Mars movie? The Jetsons, Warner Bros come here I need to whisper something in your ear... SLAP!!!
Madman!! Madman!! by Cool Hand Gandalf	May 8th, 2007 08:29:41 PM

Rodriguez has a lot of talent but little focus by hktelemacher	May 8th, 2007 08:42:55 PM
Or is it the other way around? Either way, I like some of his movies.
Tim Allen IS George Jetson! by bishopfan85	May 8th, 2007 08:43:20 PM
Been thinking it since the Flintstones movie came out (hopefully this will be better).
did everyone miss... by skaul80	May 8th, 2007 08:45:35 PM
the fact that rodriguez just returned from 'far off sandy countries' or that there might be a project 'right up your [harry's] alley'? maybe????? 'john carter of mars'??
Macy as Jetson for sure... by NubtheSquirrel	May 8th, 2007 08:50:29 PM
He would be perfect for the part. DeVito as Mr. Spacely is inspired but obvious. Mandy Moore as Judy Jetson is my pick there. How about Marcia Cross as Jane? Or Carla Gugino? Either way. Although I leaning towards Gugino...
Harry, stop the shitty creative writing! by Spice-Orange	May 8th, 2007 08:51:48 PM
GOD DAMN that was hard to read. my head hurts. Just give us the "news"! this didn't "aint it cool how i can sound like Jack Sparrow in every article news". this is "show me news on new fuckin movies and shit and stuff about werewolves, beanpoles, little miss sunshines, vampires, zombie bruce paltrows, flames on optiumus, tits on batman, bad script on spider man, werewolf zombie vampires, TOO SOONs, and omgz lost sucks/is awesome news site to the max". word. oh, and you have to have people rant about stupid things in the TB, too. :) /irony.
hmm... Carla Gugino... by Spice-Orange	May 8th, 2007 08:54:01 PM
I'd like to show her my Spacely Sprocket. wink wink nudge nudge
Gugino has the "hot mom" by Andyrooskie	May 8th, 2007 09:13:02 PM
Gugino has the "hot mom" thing going on, more so than McGowan. And that dog from Wishbone should play Astro. Just because.
I can't even muster the enthusiasm to think of a cast by blackmantis	May 8th, 2007 09:14:10 PM
We need a Jetson's movie like we need a New Kids on the Block reunion.

could a GI JOE live action film be in the works? by RokurGepta	May 8th, 2007 09:27:25 PM
what about Peanuts? or Johnny Quest? Will they ruin every cartoon we grew up with? Next they'll tell us Michael Bay is doing Robotech...
Does this mean by dtwookieman	May 8th, 2007 09:28:23 PM
Does this mean that Quentin Tarantino is going to come in for 30 minutes and direct 1/2 a second of film footage then start slapping his unglody ugly mug on it saying that it is his movie and then get a figure made in his likeness fom it then do the talk show circuit telling everyone that his shit doesn't stink and that no one else is capable of wiping his ass after he shits and that this is the greatest thing anyone is ever going to see and that even though he had absolutely nothing with getting it made or financed he is going to tell everyone that he has had this in the works since day one and that no one else is as capable of a director as he is and that he is getting tired of having to keep getting both his arms re-cast form all the times he has broken them patting himself on the back and that he almost broke his neck when he bent over to kiss his own ass. Geez, I hate this hack of a filmmaker. Hey Quentin, here's an idea, how about you make a movie that isn't glamourizing killers or thugs or gangsters and how about making a movie that shows cops in a good light and showing criminals for what they are, scumbags. And quit putting your mug on projects that you had absolutely nothing to do with cough cough Hostel, Hero, Chunking Express.
Sin City 2.... by Boromir187	May 8th, 2007 09:28:38 PM
I thought he was already in pre-production on Sin City 2? Joe Carnahan just stated online the other day that Robert already showed him some early footage from it and it looked absolutely amazing! Now I am just plain confused.

I can't wait... by phaedrus007	May 8th, 2007 09:34:10 PM
I can't wait to see that scene of George sitting at work pressing that button over and over again, and then Mr. Spacely's head appears on that screen and he yells at George... funny, funny stuff... exciting too.
MADMAN by casinoskunk	May 8th, 2007 09:35:43 PM
Harry, ask that dude what is going on with Mike Allred's Madman Adaptaion. I cannot wait for that one to take the world by storm.
Micky Rourke as George, Tarantino as Spacely by rhcp2sweet	May 8th, 2007 09:36:02 PM
that I would watch
I can see the lameness now by RokurGepta	May 8th, 2007 09:38:51 PM
Tim Allen as George, or maybe the boss guy from Office Space as George. And we all now Coggsley is Danny De-vito. Maybe Edie Falco as Jane
Doomed to repeat it... by Maxer	May 8th, 2007 09:47:46 PM
Steven Spielberg fresh off Jurassic Park and a string of other great movies doing Flintstones is going to be a mega hit! Robert Rodriguez fresh off a string of great movies doing Jetsons is going to be a mega hit!
Im With Dr Gonzo by georges garvaren	May 8th, 2007 09:52:41 PM
It's the best idea to ever be thought.
Cheech Marin would be Cogsley by RokurGepta	May 8th, 2007 09:55:18 PM
George Lopez would be... George...
Dr. Gonzo by dtwookieman	May 8th, 2007 10:03:29 PM
That wasn't what I was trying to say. The Sopranos is one of my favortie shows. And I enjoy a lot of movies where the main characters are criminals or bad guys. What I meant by that statement was that every single movie he makes has the same type of person as the lead. Either a criminal, or a killer, or a gangster, or someone who likes to antagonize. Shoot, even though he didn't direct From Dusk Till Dawn, who were the main "heroes"? Guys who had just committed a string of crimes and had no qualms about killing a Sheriff, or a convenience store clerk. I'm just trying to say why doesn't he come up with someone new as his main hero or character. Not the same type that is a fabrication or a characterization of his previous heroes. I graduated form film school, and there are a lot of peoples written just about him and this particular topic in general, about how it's getting kind of boring and tiring that all he seems to make are movies about criminals or some type of gangsters, or assassins, etc.. Sorry if you thought I was moralizing, I was just stating that after 2 or 3 pictures, I got bored with it. I went and say Grindhouse, saw Planet Terror, saw the ads, then left before Tarantinos movie. And everyone I know who stayed for it said they either fell asleep, or were so bored by it by the time he got to the action, that they were tempted to walk out at that point. Sorry if you misunderstood what I meant.
Best scene in Planet Terror...? by Osmosis Jones	May 8th, 2007 10:04:33 PM
Rodriguez's son taking a bullet to the face in revenge for writing Shark Boy & Lava Girl...
That would be hilarious... by Boromir187	May 8th, 2007 10:05:11 PM
George Lopez as "George Jetson", Salma Hayek as "Jane", Cheech Marin as "Mr. Spacely", and Danny Trejo as "Rosie". Now we just need to figure out what characters the following actors are playing: Tito Larriva, Freddy Rodriguez, Antonio Banderas, Ruben Blades, and Quentin Tarantino.
Sorry about my misspelled words. by dtwookieman	May 8th, 2007 10:16:09 PM
Sorry that I misspelled so many words, I was writing so fast and I never really pay attention to where the letters are at on the keyboard. The main point of my original post is though that I hate the fact that this guy is slapping his ugly mug on so many things he had nothing to do with. He only directed about 5 or 6 minutes of Sin City, but yet, to hear him talk about it in all the interviews, he made it sound like that it was his project, and that he got all the funding for it, etc... ANd the part he did direct, I felt almost ruined the rest of the movie, with the way he just started putting the random colors going by shining through the window and hitting Clive and Benecio's faces. And I know people who think that he wrote the movies Hero and Hostel and others because he put his egotistical egomaniacal ungodly ugly face on the posters, same as Iron Monkey. That's one reason I can't stand him.
What the Hell is this "Cogsley" crap? by TheAFLACDuck	May 8th, 2007 10:25:20 PM
It's Cogswell! and it's obvious that he should be played by Gordon Jump ... well, if he were still alive.
Casting by And Nicolas Cage as Fu Manchu	May 8th, 2007 10:40:05 PM
Salma Hayek as Jane, Penelope Cruz as Judy, and they re-enact the kiss from Bandidas (the only worthwhile part of that movie). And where is my Wacky Races movie? Hopefully the Speed Racer movie ushers in a new era of racing-centric cartoon-to=film adaptations. I want my 21st century CGI-assisted Penelope Pitstop in all her budget Hanna Barbera animated, hotter than Gadget from Rescue Rangers, Compact-Pussycat driving glory. ^^;

The Jetsons: The Next Generation by Napoleon Park	May 9th, 2007 12:27:44 AM
As someone who watched first run Jetsons on Sunday nights in prime time, I know how to do this. Set the property a quarter century further into the future. Use the late '80s rumored casting and turn it into a Chevy Chase/Goldie Hawn vehicle. Cast Tiffany Darwish as Judy; since casting her as Judy in the animated movie wrecked her popstar career's forward momentum and credibility, they owe her this. Ricky Schroeder - he likes to be called ricky again - as Elroy. I see Meredith Eaton as Spacely. (She has to be Eaton because if she was fucken she'd break.) Then release it as a double feature with Quentin Tarantino's "Jonny Quest" (with a bunch of fake toy commercials and promos for fictional, satirical upcoming shows in between the two features) and give it a generically descriptive name like "Saturday Morning TV". Do both features as such hard Rs they're practically soft NC-17s and then release it on Christmas day. or, if there's any way to arrange it, on the day of a former president's funeral. In comedy timing is... * ...everything. * Really, I have no problem with the director of Sin City raping my childhood, as long as they work in a Max Headroom cameo. With the female robot from Metropolis as Rosie, only gold plated like R2D2, and the mechanical owl from "Clash of the Titans" as Astro, voiced by Frank Welker. * HK, have RR and QT call me - tell them to leave a number on the machine, I don't have caller ID.) * Damn, Dennis Miller makes this look so easy...
There is no reason to make this that I can think of. by superninja	May 9th, 2007 12:40:50 AM
The Jetsons weren't even as entertaining as the Flintstones. George's jerk boss was the best character.
why does dtwookieman hate QT so much? by skaul80	May 9th, 2007 12:54:44 AM
he produces and funds the domestic releases of films he likes. does that make him evil?
Harry by Vadakin	May 9th, 2007 12:56:32 AM
did you ask him how he felt about Grindhouse being split up around the world?
Don't forget the Smurphs Movie by RokurGepta	May 9th, 2007 01:08:05 AM
or what about a Land of the Lost Movie? or a Bionic Six Movie? How about they Ruin Captain N? And why Not bring back Denver the Last Dinosaur in a full length feature film? Thundarr the Barbarian Movie? For realz though, I did hear about either a Thundercats Movie, or a re-imagining of the Thundercats cartoon.... Must the destroy everything good from the 80's?
Another vote for Devito as Spacely by DrSarcasm	May 9th, 2007 01:11:27 AM
The only problem now is finding a suitable George.

Macy and Mamet do JETSONS? by palimpsest	May 9th, 2007 01:45:21 AM
I'm still giggling about that idea from early in the talkback: Judy: Why's space called space? George: Cos it's full of space, you fucking fucksack. JETSONS: IN SPACE NO-ONE CAN HEAR YOU PULLING THE PERFECT FUCKING CON. And so on...
Kristen Dunst must be in it! by Harold The Great	May 9th, 2007 02:01:54 AM

RokurGepta: A SMURFS movie.... by Playkins	May 9th, 2007 02:23:22 AM
...done as a SATIRE could be absolutely BRILLIANT. Could be the easiest thing to turn into a big joke since the Brady Bunch.
Must the destroy everything good from the 80's? by Napoleon Park	May 9th, 2007 02:41:17 AM
Inquiring Gepta wants to know: "Must the destroy everything good from the 80's?" * Oh yes, oh Ghod yes, yes. Devastate, crush, parody, humiliate, satirize, disrespect, abominate and diminish all that is the fluffy haired shoulder padded Me and MTV generation decade. All must be destroyed. Until your people rise up and overthrow the oppressive shackles of the baby boomers who refuse to ever mature, even as they grow old and weak, so it will be. All that is of the holy '60s is sacred and must be revered and all that is of the weak and puny, commercialized, censored, kiddy pap '80s will be crushed and your childhoods brutally sodomized for our wicked enjoyment. Have She-Ra cleansed and oiled and prepare my nipple piercing device and light the candles. Knight Rider eats cheeseburgers off the floor - you must be made to see that this is so. * Seriously, since they already have a Spider-Man and Iceman, who do you like for Firestar in the live action "Spider-man and His Amazing Friends" movie? She must be a real redhead, slim, under 20 and have large breasts and incredibly perky nipples and be willing to perform in a painted on yellow liquid latex costume. Also, petite enough to make Tobey Maguire look like a man.
Land of the Lost?? Why? by StanTheCritic	May 9th, 2007 02:49:08 AM

There's scores of unbelievably gorgeous and talented, relatively unknown young actresses, today, who'd be well-suited. Emily VanCamp for instance. But, if dumbass execs have their way, you'll see either Jessica Simpson, Hillary Duff, or Lindsay Lohan in this role. :P
That's What's So Brilliant About It... by MarkoOhNo	May 9th, 2007 04:56:48 AM

Firestar - Napoleon Park by NachoNegro	May 9th, 2007 05:46:08 AM
Damn good call - Firestar was hot as f*ck. For those who don't remember, she was just like the Human Torch - the only difference being she was a horny 17 year old college chick with massive tits. Surely putting her in Spidey IV is a no-brainer?

How bout an exact adaptation of The Running Man? by Nice Marmot	May 9th, 2007 07:38:21 AM
I'd like to see RR take on that vision of the future. The Jestsons? Phhht! I'd rather see the Space Kid-ettes or The Herculoids than the f'in' Jetsons. The only HB cartoon worse than the Jetsons was that stupid Flintstones clone where they lived in Roman times and had a lion and an elephant as pets.
QT should do The Snorks by fish tacos	May 9th, 2007 07:40:34 AM
And Sideshow Collectables should do a Torgo statuette
I gotta say it... by Kid Z	May 9th, 2007 07:44:18 AM
... Don't want to, but it's true: Chevy Chase was BORN to play George Jetson... no one else will do. His career is pretty much dead right now, but with a good script, director and cast, he'd be fuckin' hilarious in that snarky, addle-brained Clark Griswold sort of way that only he can pull off. And of COURSE: Danny DeVito IS Mr. Spacely, but I'd settle for Jason Alexander in "George is gettin' UPSET!" mode.

Hanna Barberra Srewed The Jetsons by Grammaton Cleric Binks	May 9th, 2007 08:19:01 AM
in the 80s when they had the big screen movie, had Janet Waldo do the voice of Judy which of course is the only thing to do, then later had all the lines re-done by Tiffany. They did so they could appeal to a broader teen audience. Hey,what a good idea. George Lucas should have used Eddie Murphy as the voice of Darth Vader. That way he appeals to the teen audience, and gives the job to another black actor.
Eep-Oop-Ork-Ah-ah by ProfGriffin	May 9th, 2007 08:23:09 AM
Performed by Tito and the Tarantulas. Simon Pegg as George Jetson. It's very silly, but if it'll help get Robert back on track...and maybe actually direct like he used to...then I'm all for it.

If I HAD to cast this film... by uss cygnus	May 9th, 2007 08:43:08 AM
George=Kevin Spacey...Jane=Bebe Newirth...Judy=Amanda Bynes...Elroy=Haley Joel Osment...Mr. Spacely=Artie Lange Cogswell=Randy Quaid. Astro is a real dog that doesn't talk.
Dylan Baker could be George, too by slone13	May 9th, 2007 08:45:23 AM
If they can't get Macy...
Come on guys! by rbatty024	May 9th, 2007 08:59:43 AM
This will be a great project. Remember how well the Flinstone movies turned out? (They made two of them didn't they?)
The Jetsons in "Viva Las Megas"? by JackPumpkinhead	May 9th, 2007 09:04:50 AM
That's the kind of shitty pun they were using and it would fit right in with the live Flintstone movies. Rosie O'Donnell for Jane Jetson!
Eep-Oop-Ork-Ah-ah was performed by by Grammaton Cleric Binks	May 9th, 2007 09:23:52 AM
Violent Femmes on Saturday Mornings Greatest Hits. Attention fellow geeks, this is an absolute necessity for your CD collection. This came out before Schoolhouse Rock Rocks, and is just an incredible CD. Check it out on Amazon.com. The Ramones doing Spiderman. Nuff said.
Land of the Lost by Frank Black	May 9th, 2007 09:58:33 AM
DarkHorizons claims the other movie could be Land of the Lost with Will Ferrell based on the Syd & Marty Kroft show. We shall see. Though I am a fan of Rodriguez, I'll never forgive him for allowing Jessica Alba to be a clothed stripper! Rodriguez should stop making kids movies and focus on adult genre stuff because kids have enough of that crap.
well...since noone else has suggested it.. by Bloo	May 9th, 2007 10:18:16 AM
BRUCE CAMPBELL for George...and the voice of Astro, the computer, Judy, Jane, Elroy, Mr. Spacely, and Cogswell...
I loved the Smurphs.....lol by liljuniorbrown	May 9th, 2007 11:12:25 AM
Sorry man had to say it. Anyways the only really really good George Jetson i've heard so far besides Tim Allen was by garypleace, Jim Carrey could really do George Jetson and do it well. The thing that has to come first and be top priority is script. The visuals in Spiderman 3 were awesome but the script sucked ass. Sorry,just my opinion. To answer your question of sorts NiceMarmot the suck ass Roman times rip off of the Flinstones and Jetsons was called The Roman Holidays. If RR wants to impress me he'll do a kick ass Punisher:War Zone flick with Mickey Rourke as Jigsaw.
Tom Hanks for George Jetson...Dennis Franz/Mr. Spacely by JDanielP	May 9th, 2007 11:23:49 AM
In the past, I've pondered the thought of how a JETSONS live-action movie should be made, ...in the hope that someday, someone, would interpret the material into something truely special. And if you're looking to push it into grade A material (above "The Flinstones" live-action), how do you do that? How do you go beyond making a t.v.-style sitcom with computer generated effects? There's not an easy answer, ...but I'd say that a good starting point is to look at what makes PIXAR's animated movies so special and fun, along with Dreamwork's SHREK. Obviously, the story/script will have to be something special, going way beyond the half-hour segments of the classic cartoon. And visually, this should be REALLY beautiful to see realized. Imagine being on the deck of one of those floating islands, hearing the unique sound of the Jetson's car approaching before flying overhead, ...with the turning camera p.o.v. aiming skyward, following the car, ...as our p.o.v. catches another floating island above, toward the sun, complete with camera lens-flare. I've long been dreaming of making movies and with such news, I feel physically wounded. I named my son after Elroy Jetson. This is a movie I desire to make. I hope you can understand why this news actually saddens me... quite a bit, even while there is some joy.

Part of me wants Danny Trejo. It'd be a weird mindfuck.

Will Ferrell IS George jJetson by Napoleon Park	May 9th, 2007 12:31:25 PM
Sara Rue is Jane, his wife. Also Mary Kate Olsen as Judy, Ashley Olsen as Elroy and Ashlee Simpson as Astro. With a CGI Billy Barty as Mr. Spacely. And scuff up all the sets and props Blade Runner style to make the future look lived in. And get the creators of Pink Five in as script consultants: this could be the best Star Wars parody ever. FLAMES ON GEORGE'S CAR! = nipples on Judy Jetson.
OMFGOAPS. by The Dum Guy	May 9th, 2007 01:36:04 PM
That's Oh My Fucking God On A Pogo Stick. I thought this film would never get made, at least not made with someone who has a unique vision (for the most part). Can't be worse than the Flinstone's movies.
From the director of "Lavaboy & Sharkgirl"! by JackPumpkinhead	May 9th, 2007 01:43:20 PM
That should bring the audiences in.
Sherman Hemsley... by playahatersball	May 9th, 2007 02:04:05 PM
I'm not letting this go- the man physically embodies Mr. Spacely, way better than Michael Clark Duncan embodied the Kingpin. So what if he's black? He's light skinded enough to pass as the short, angry, balding tyrant CEO of a middling sproket manufacturer we all grew up with. Go watch some Jeffersons and imagine him yelling through a viewscreen. Don't let this opourtunity pass.

Will Ferrell IS George Jetson, Rosie O'Donnell as Rosie by DallasGoodbar	May 10th, 2007 04:35:55 AM
That would be a great billing. "Jane stop this crazy thing!!" Ferrell bellows as he is trapped by an exercise machine. I can see/hear her voice coming out of that slot mouth now. I dunno about Sara Rue, great comedic actress but Jane is supposed to look like a trophy wife. Can she lose 40 lbs. to fit the role?

Rodriguez has a kid named Rocket, but is he making THE JETSONS?
