Robert Rodriguez may do The Jetsons
Robert Rodriguez ("Spy Kids", "Grindhouse") is reportedly interested in Warner Bros. long-planned, live-action bigscreen version of "The Jetsons" Adam F. Goldberg ("Revenge of the Nerds", "Fanboys") is penning a new screenplay and Donald De Line set to produce alongside Denise Di Novi reports the trades.
Storyline will be based on the popular sci-fi animated sitcom which revolved around the four members of the Jetson family, their dog, robotic maid, and the father's temperamental boss.
The studio has been attempting to adapt the animated property into a live-action vehicle for around ten years now with multiple writers having gone through the project.
Let's cast it:
George: Steve Martin or Martin Short
Judy: Hayden Pantierre
Jane: Annette Benning
Elroy: That kid from Two and a half men
Spacely: DeVito or Peter Dinklage

It could be cool, but I want to see Machete before he makes this.

Yeah, I saw this yesterday on RottenTomatoes.com news. Please Robert (or any other director), don't! Does anyone not remember the abomination that was "The Flintstones"??

They have been talking about making a live action "Jetsons" movie for well over 15 years now. The first time I heard someone talking about it, they wanted Chevy Chase to play George and Goldie Hawn to play Jane. The problem with the latest choices, sure, Danny DeVito could pass as Mr. Spacey. And even Aykroyd as Cogswell Cogs. But Paul Giamatti, who I love as an actor, looks nothing like George Jetson.

Once Upon a Time in Mexico was good IMO...
Also, apparently it's between this and Land of the Lost. Robert Rodriguez directing The Jetsons is only second in unusuality to Robert Rodriguez directing a Will Ferrell movie.

As for this Jetsons movie, well I have absolutely zero interest but I'm sure someone out there does.

Now I've just remembered the "Sharon Stone" gag with her name in the first one...
Also I liked Once Upon A Time in Mexico too

I'm not sure if it made the film any better, though. My Hungarian ain't on the level of being able to say, and I'm not all that willing to rewatch the movie, anyway, to be honest.
