The Constantly Delayed Live-Action Jetsons Movie

(I created the title of the thread for any future developments on it.)
So I'm sure most people know that a live-action Jetsons movie has been considered ever since 1985.

What's most surprising is that Kanye West is apparently the "Creative Director" of the movie (according to his twitter, and he's an avid fan). Whaaa.....?
See for yourself, these were articles from Summer of 2013:
http://www.entertainmentwise.com/new...by-North-Birth
http://www.inquisitr.com/818487/kany...tive-director/

But back in January of 2012 the producers stated that Kanye West wasn't their "creative director":
http://www.sheknows.com/entertainmen...ative-director

Does anybody know the real situation about Kanye's involvement?
Of course nothing has substantially developed for the live-action movie, but if Kanye was somehow involved, noticing his hair-trigger temper and through-the-roof arrogance through what we see in the media, it's gonna be nearly impossible for him in collaborating, much less compromising his artistic vision, with the production staff. Talk about drama...

This movie needs to stay in limbo.

After seeing live-action Smurfs, Yogi Bear, Scooby Doo, and other Hanna-Barbera franchises ruined on the big screen, I'd rather not see this one.

The Flintstones live action films were the only good ones.

Agreed, and even Flintstones wasn't even that good.

Yeah, I kinda hope this film doesn't get made. Let's face it, all live action movie adaptions of old cartoons stink.

It would be hard to adapt the Jetsons as a live action movie unless, they design everything to look like the old series, and not trying to modernize it. a Retro future style Jetsons movie would look cool.

I know, I've seen several. That fad was over years ago, let's keep it that way.

Was never a big Jetsons fan but Id see it. It could be cool.

I didnt know it was considered since the 80s though. It'll probably happen eventually.

I first read about the film being put into in October 2006. The movie was then set for a summer 2009 target release date. The script the hired writer turned in was rejected and after entering development for awhile a second writer was hired to rework the script and attempt a December 2012 release. Nothing came from the second attempt either. Its nice to see its still possible but how long can a film be in Development Hell? I had not heard something was in the works before October 2006. If that is involved it must be a joke article getting Jetsons fan riled up and or hopes up. He is not involved in fiilms. Play a black version of Henry the Skypad Apartment handyman as a joke? Yeah,maybe that is anything. I am hoping something will come of this long awaited film and to see the visuals if anything.

I say, just let it die! I thought it was an awful idea to begin with.

At this pace, the live-action movie is going to be a contemporary movie

But every character in TMNT 2012 is pretty bland.
Mikey: Goofy, naive and a people's person
Raphael: Anger issues and friendship with Casey
Leonardo: Brave and afraid of losing his family
Erm... wrong thread perhaps?
