For gods' sake, leave them alone...

The animated movie bombed at the box office, what makes them think this is going to be better? (story wise it certaingly won't be)

*Spitfire* · 04-12-2005, 08:22 AM

There is no god....if they can make a Jetsons movie after making a live action Flintstones movie and Scooby Doo there just cant be. WHo in their right mind would go see this? No kids in this generation know or care about the Jetsons and all the older people will probly think it looks stupid. On thr bright side it cant be worse then The Mask 2. That was the worst movie idea of this generation. Making a sequel to an already bad movie

Steve Martin as George Jetson?

Jane! Stop this crazy film!

*DrSpengler* · 04-12-2005, 10:16 AM

*I* saw Jetsons the Movie in theaters back in '89. Didn't save it, though. I'd like to see the movie again, as I can carely remember it. Last time I saw it was when the Sci-Fi Channel ran it about 6 or 7 years ago.

In regards to the live action movie, hey, why not? The first Flintstones wasn't that bad, and I enjoyed the Scooby Doo movies. It could work. But, of course, it shouldn't be made just on principle. Come up with some new ideas, Hollywood.

**Barkworm** · 04-12-2005, 10:34 AM

I actually liked the first Flintstones movie and Steve Martin as George sounds like a good idea to me.

*Sewer Bull* · 04-12-2005, 10:40 AM

Steve Martin as George Jetson?

In this case, I recommend the followings:

* Goldie Hawn as Jane Jetson
* Paris Hilton as Judy Jetson
* Haley Joel Osment as Elroy Jetson.
* St. Bernard from Beethoveen as Astro
* Danny deVito as George's boss

Also, I advise creating Powerpuff Girls live action movie.

*damnhooligan* · 04-12-2005, 11:30 AM

A Jetsons movie, Garfield 2, Rambo cartoons, Loonatics...

I, from this point forward, declare dontebell the official Technodrome Bearer of Bad TV and Movie News.

I think it was released on DVD

*Brodie* · 04-12-2005, 02:20 PM

Martin Short would be a better George....But...uhm....Is Paul Anderson directing this?

I looked it up in our computer at Suncoast (video store where I work), and it's not available, nor is there any indication that it was ever released.

You live in England, right? Maybe it got released over there.

This could actually be an interesting idea, especially considering the amazing advancements in techology that already exist which could be incorporated into the Jetsons universe, like cell phones and microwaves.

*Dane E5R* · 04-13-2005, 06:18 PM

Hey man, I say go for it. The first Flintstones movie was pretty good. I'd see a Jetsons movie.

**ThirdMarioBro** · 04-13-2005, 06:45 PM

Steve Martin could work as George, but still, the whole concept just seems wierd ass to me.

Saw that when I was 5 years old. I have it on VHS and I ripped the tape onto DVD eons ago. Still in pretty good shape actually. I love the music in there from Tiffany.

*DrSpengler* · 04-13-2005, 06:51 PM

Yeah, apparantly the original voice of Judy Jetson dubbed the movie first and the idea to cast Tiffany was made at the last minute to try and draw a larger crowd. So they completely dubbed over her. Or so IMDB says.

Trivia is good for you.

**ThirdMarioBro** · 04-13-2005, 07:23 PM

Honestly, I think that was a good decidion. Tiffany made her sound more believeable, especially seeing the direction the movie took.

*TigerClaw* · 04-13-2005, 07:39 PM

I'm interesting in seeing how they will aproach the look of the future in this live action adaption, I think it should stay true to the original cartoon, The original cartoon had this retro futuristic look.

*Mr._Mutant_Man* · 04-16-2005, 02:11 PM

Live action Jetsons could work better than Scooby Doo. They should just make Astro a normal dog instead of a Jar Jar-like CGI character.

Steve Martin would be a good George Jetson.

*ZariusTwo* · 04-16-2005, 02:16 PM

Scooby-Doo was excellent, it was true to the source material of every series, even acknowledging Scrappy and making him the actual villain, which, metaphorically, he always was to the franchise

Scooby-Doo 2 was also a great mystery movie, I hate it when people bash those films, there's no actual reason to, there the best Hannah Barbera adapations out there.

*Brodie* · 04-16-2005, 02:51 PM

I too dug the Scooby flicks, they were well done. And seriously, who didn't wanna see the 1,000 Watt Ghost?

Anyway, I say lets bury this Jetsons movie thread and forget about it till it comes back from hell, just like the cat from Pet Cemetary.
