Robert Rodriguez is starting to spread himself pretty thin with all the movies he plans on making. He’s got the ‘Predator’ Reboot film, ‘Sin City 2′, The Grindhouse spin-off ‘Machete’, and his Sci-fi thriller ‘Nerverackers’. We have also heard he plans on adapting ‘The Jetsons’ for the big screen. What we didn’t know until today, is that he wants to start on it next year.
‘The Jetsons’ will be a live-action version of the futuristic 1960’s cartoon. I thought for sure that would be a project he would hold off on for awhile. Apparently not, he gives the low down:
“I’ve been developing [The Jetsons] for awhile,” Rodriguez said, adding that he’s hoping to start shooting “next year. We’re writing the script right now.
He doesn’t give out any other details about it. I’m not thrilled about Rodriguez doing a Jetsons movie, to be honest. The guy is great at making the dark type of movies, which is why I think he will do a great job with ‘Predator’. But I can’t stand his kid films! And most kids that I know can’t stand them either. Everything about them just seems cheap to me, from script, to acting, to special effects, they could be much better. I just don’t think he will pull off a decent ‘Jetsons’ movie. That’s just what I think though. Do you think he will do a good job with the property? If so tell me why.

I just want Sin City and Machete now.
I'm pretty sure even the kids out there would rather see Sin City 2 and Machete now, rather than a Jetsons movie.
Yeah Im excited but you are right. He’s kids movies suck!!!
oh wow, this, this is not going to end well.
Here comes Jorge Jetson! But seriously, is RR going to make this a Latino family?
Not really sure what to expect from this…what will it actually be about? The show didn't have much of a plot to begin with. His direction is enough for me to see just about anything once, but I agree that this doesn't seem to be his forte.
I think he is gonna rock this project like all of his other work I couldnt be more excited to see his spin on this
myself and my children loved spy kids and spy kids 2 now i'm showing them to a 10 year old and his sister and love ti to. in fact this was the first r.r. movies i had seen. since then i have collected the 3 movies of machete.
myself and my children loved spy kids and spy kids 2. the only thing is spy kids was narrated for the blind but spy kids 2 wasn't. so i had to narrate for them. we enjoyed them a lot. i wish we could get more movies narrated, since now they are on dvd only.
