The Jetsons 2012???

[Dark Helmet]

Jim Carrey said no?

It is mentioned in the article on the previous page

 

[Silver Knight]

I did not see the previous page. Script must suck.

Like how Jessica Beil turned down George Miller's Justice League LOL. ****ing Hollywood when will you learn

 

[Webhead2006]

so he said no, the article said when ever they sign new director(possible peter segal) that their will be a new script being commisioned. So if actors didnt like that script, maybe with a new one they will get some folks. As for Carrey if he was really offered the role(which i think could have been good) maybe their was many reasons why he didnt take the film. It could have been the script, could have been he was to busy with some other projects, etc.....

I did not see the previous page. Script must suck.

With movies like The numbers 23 and even an underperforming comedic movie like Yes Man , i wouldn't go so far to say that Carrey knows a good script/bad script when he sees one.

 

[Gold Samurai]

Rosie voiced by Rosie O donnell

That's who I invisioned for Rosie the robot

 

[Spider-Who?]

With movies like The numbers 23 and even an underperforming comedic movie like Yes Man , i wouldn't go so far to say that Carrey knows a good script/bad script when he sees one.

....I liked the Number 23....

 

[Speedball]

Know what would be cool... If the movie actually took place in an alternate 2012.
And only Rosie can play Rosie!

 

[Octoberist]

it's so weird that a movie like this, along with Gilligan's Island, hasn't been made yet.

 

[ross2287]

....I liked the Number 23....

Me too. And Yes Man. But that was mostly because of Zooey.

 

[superhero]

I'm not to worry whos going to play them.i vote jim carry for George.i just think he looks like him. i hope they don'tget will frieddle to play. most of his moives are stupid. but how about the speacil effects? arethey going to have flying cars? and people go in tubes. people havingjet packs. i think this would be hard to do. they did good job with lost in space moive and they had flying cars in fifth element. so i guess they could make flying car. i bet their problley changes few things. i wonder if they get astor to talk like scooby doo. i wonder whos going to play eroo. he kind of litte kid. they haveto get some kid to act smart.

 

[Milu]

^I think you mean Will Ferrell .

I think Hugh Laurie would be perfect for George.

 

[Octoberist]

superhero is a character. The TYPO KING, if you will.

 

[Gold Samurai]

Danny DeVito as Mr Spacely

Make it so!

 

[Oddzball]

I'm calling BS. You got it from wikipedia, for crying out loud! Anyone can change wikipedia.

And it gets changed back pretty fast. My suggestion: pick twelve topics you are knowlegeable about and compare what is in Wiki.

Finally, producer Denise Di Novi (Edward Scissorhands) talked about her long-in-development adaptations of The Jetsons and Ray Bradbury’s The Illustrated Man. On The Illustrated Man, which has Zack Snyder still attached to direct:

“I was the only person who was sad when he decided to do Superman. [Snyder] reminds me of [Tim Burton] in a lot in that he’s such an auteur, and he just gives a hundred percent to what he’s working on. But that’s one of my favorites; I’m a huge Bradbury fan, and we’re waiting for him.”
​

As for The Jetsons:

“I’ve been developing that for so many years. We actually just turned a new draft in of that script last week to the studio, so I’m still trying to make it. I still think it would be a hit movie. [Robert Rodriguez] was attached to it and his version was fantastic, but it wasn’t a mainstream studio picture. It was kind of his version of what he would shoot at his studio in Texas. He’s got a great set-up down there, and I think part of it is that it may be fun to play with all those big toys at his studio, but he has a pretty good system going.”
​

She elaborated that the problem in adapting The Jetsons is that the climate keeps changing:

“Part of it is that every couple of years, the genre kind of changes. I really credit Jeff Robinov at Warner Bros. with this. In choosing Christopher Nolan to do Batman, he really exploded the expectations on adapting all these kinds of titles. The pressure is on to really make them the coolest movies, and not the cornball cartoon movies. Every couple years it’s changed what they thought the movie should be and I’m hoping now we’re hitting it at the right time. I’ve never given up on that movie.”
​

 

[TX85]

DeVito is sooooooo Spacely. Not really a fan of Carrell's so I'm meh there.

I don't really see this happening, but would be interested if it did.

Agreed with everything you said!

Kanye West May Be the Creative Director of THE JETSONS Movie Because Why Not [UPDATE]

by Matt Goldberg Posted:January 5th, 2012 at 9:52 am

Kayne West is a Renaissance man who makes great music when he’s not sticking his foot in his mouth. His ego seems to know no bounds but there’s talent to back it up, so he becomes a figure of fun at best and an eye-rolling irritant at worst. After a three-hour Twitter marathon where he managed to talk only about himself, he briefly mentioned, ” I was just discussing becoming the creative director for the Jetson [sic] movie and…” After your brain takes the half-minute to process that strange revelation, it almost begins to make sense.

Hit the jump for more on this semi-madness. [We've updated the story after the jump]

Here’s the full tweet-stream regarding West’s possible involvement in a Jetsons movie:

I was just discussing becoming the creative director for the Jetson movie and someone on the call yelled out.. you should do a Jetsons tour!
This just happened a few hours ago. I was very insulted of course becuase for anyone that’s seen the Watch the Throne Tour…
Or Coachella or Glow in the Dark or Runaway.. you know I have real ideas…
​

Real ideas: robot teddy bears. Again, a Jetsons movie with Kanye West’s involvement makes some sort of bizarre, twisted sense.
You may recall Robert Rodridguez had been attached to an adaptation of the classic Hanna-Barbera cartoon about life in 2062 (fifty years from now, we’ll all have flying cars and housekeeping robots, but we’ll still carry cash in wallets). Last summer, producer Denise Di Novi provided this update:

“I’ve been developing that for so many years. We actually just turned a new draft in of that script last week to the studio, so I’m still trying to make it. I still think it would be a hit movie. [Robert Rodriguez] was attached to it and his version was fantastic, but it wasn’t a mainstream studio picture. It was kind of his version of what he would shoot at his studio in Texas. He’s got a great set-up down there, and I think part of it is that it may be fun to play with all those big toys at his studio, but he has a pretty good system going.”
​

That system makes Spy Kids 4.
Back to West, Jetsons seems one of many potential projects he wants to do. Here’s a list of the others [via Movieline]

· Designing more NIKE sneakers, because only one pair of Kanye West shoes every two years isn’t enough
· Starting a new company called DONDA (named after mom) “which will galvanize amazing thinkers and put them in a creative space to bounce there dreams and ideas…to help simplify and aesthetically improve everything we see hear, touch, taste and feel.”
· Creating “a new 7 screen experience”
· Making something called “2016 OLYMPIC’s … It’s a semi sic-fi since 2016 is only 4 years away”
· Designing the MTV Awards
· Changing the education system to omit higher math courses for kids who’ll never need it as adults (That’s what I was saying in fifth grade!)
· Starting an alternative summer school with filmmaker Spike Jonze (“Spike Jonze and I want to do a Summer school that tries new forms of cuuriculim”)
​

“The Kanye West School for Children Who Can’t Tweet Grammer Good”.
MAKE IT HAPPEN.
Update: Di Novi confirms West wasn’t just making word salad. She tells MTV:

We heard that he knew we were working on the Jetsons,” Di Novi said. “He reached out and said he’s a huge Jetsons fan. There are a lot of Jetsons fanatics out there, especially people that are into either futuristic science or design. He was interested in creatively brainstorming what we were doing with the movie and what ideas he might have. It was a really friendly, preliminary conversation.”

[Webhead2006]

Cool info that kayne west could be a creative force on filmm. I still hope this happens in next few yrs.

 

[terry78]

I won't lie, I wouldn't hate the idea of him having input on the design of the art and what not since he actually does have input on his videos and tours, which are honestly pretty innovative. Surprised they can't get this off the ground considering they've already stripped most of the Hanna Barbera vault dry regarding live action flicks. Back in his Stuart Little days I said Hugh Laurie would be a good George, but I can't think of one now.

 

[Webhead2006]

If it does happen soon I so want devito as spacely.

 

[Drizzle]

I could totally see Ed Helms playing George.

 

[Webhead2006]

i can see that working, if this had happened a good 5-9 yrs ago and i kinda feel a bit still jim carey would have been good fit for george.

 

[ShadowBoxer]

The Jetsons is okay but I wouldn't mind seeing a remake/ reboot/ sequel to the live action Flintstone movie.

Van Robichaux and Evan Susser Tapped to Rewrite THE JETSONS

by Adam Chitwood Posted:February 7th, 2012 at 6:13 pm

The live-action feature film adaptation of The Jetsons has been lingering in development for over a decade now, and a couple of writers have just been tapped to perform a new rewrite. Variety reports that Van Robichaux and Evan Susser are now set to pen a new draft of the script. The writing duo are behind the Star Wars-themed Black List script Chewie. Last summer, producer Denise Di Novi talked about why The Jetsons feature has been so tough to crack:

“Part of it is that every couple of years, the genre kind of changes. I really credit Jeff Robinov at Warner Bros. with this. In choosing Christopher Nolan to do Batman, he really exploded the expectations on adapting all these kinds of titles. The pressure is on to really make them the coolest movies, and not the cornball cartoon movies. Every couple years it’s changed what they thought the movie should be and I’m hoping now we’re hitting it at the right time. I’ve never given up on that movie.”
​

Robert Rodriguez was previously attached to direct, but he’s no longer involved. I’m incredibly excited about the prospect of a live-action Jetsons feature, but I also understand that it’s a super hard tone to nail down. Hopefully Robinchaux and Susser have a strong vision for the pic.
