WB Sees a Live-Action "Jetsons" In Their Future
Warner Bros. has assigned producer Denise Di Novi and screenwriter Adam F. Goldberg to turn the classic Hanna-Barbera cartoon "The Jetsons" into a live-action movie, not at all unlike the way Universal did with "The Flintstones" ... twice ... and poorly.
According to Variety, "Storyline will be based on the popular animated Hanna-Barbera TV show, which revolved around the travails of George Jetson, wife Jane, daughter Judy, son Elroy and their dog, Astro." (Hey, what about the robot maid??)
Bottom Line? Cast William H. Macy as George Jetson and I may just give the flick five stars.
To those who remember watching "The Jetsons" as a kid (or as an adult), I ask you this: Who would you cast as the Jetson clan?

on May 03 2006 07:03 AM In reply to this comment (#834951) Even while I watched the cartoons when I was young, I always thought Sprocket looked like Danny DeVito. (Reply to this) |

on May 03 2006 07:49 AM applegate is a little old to play the daughter...maybe if this were back in the 90's. sadly...they will probably cast someone like hillary duff as judy. (Reply to this) |

on May 03 2006 02:54 PM Actually Steve Martin doesnt really look like George Jetson. When I first heard about this movie a year or so ago I pictured Jim Carrey as George Jetson. (Reply to this) |
on May 03 2006 08:09 PM [b]these are mainly joking[/b] George - Adrien Brody (nose size) or Steve Martin or Jason Lee Jane - Gwenyth Paltrow or Sigourney Weaver Judy - Hiulary Duff (Gwenyth Paltrow could be on this list too) Elroy - That boy from Thank You for Smoking and Ultraviolet Robot Maid - Judi Dench Sprocket - Danny DeVito or Randy Quaid (Reply to this) |
on May 03 2006 11:45 PM Hilary Duff makes a bad Judy! Anyway, I think you people are having fun with casting people. Hmmm...it would be interesting to see Jim Carrey as George Jetson. Steve Martin shouldn't play George because he's always playing those father roles. >_> (Reply to this) |

on May 04 2006 10:29 AM In reply to this comment (#834951) I agree with you on George...Steve Martin (someone else posted William H. Macy - not bad, either) For Jane I would cast Annie Potts (Ghostbusters, Designing Women) or Catherine Zeta-Jones Judy - Reese Witherspoon (Applegate'll do it if Reese won't!) Elroy - the kid from Jerry Maguire (yes, I know he's older now) Rosie - Rosie O'Donnell (either as voice of Rosie or in a costume of sorts) I agree with you on Mr. Spacely - Danny DeVito Spacely's wife - Delta Burke Cogswell - Peter Boyle (Raymond's dad, Young Frankenstein) Astro - CGI The building handyman - Richard Karn (Al from Home Improvement) (Reply to this) |

on May 04 2006 11:34 AM George - Tim Alllen/Michael Rapaport/Judge Reinhold Jane - Annette Benning Judy - Hilary Duff/Lindsay Lohan/JoJo Elroy - Spencer Breslin/Angus T. Jones Spacely - Danny Devito/Bob Hoskins (Reply to this) |

on May 04 2006 08:46 PM [b]Jetsons Cast should be......[/b] George - Tim Allen, hands down! Fits the profile to a T and he needs to be in a movie that might resurrect his career. Jane - Nicole Kidman. She could pull it off I think. Judy - Lindsay Lohan is the obvious choice. Elroy - I would say Rory Culkin but I'm sure he's too old. Astro - could be voiced by Dave Coulier Mr. Spacely - Definitely Danny Devito. Oh and just for the record....he should have been Boss Hogg in "Dukes of Hazzard!" (Reply to this) |
on May 05 2006 12:00 PM George-William H Macy Jane-Tea Leoni Judy-One of the Olsens Elroy-Thurman Merman from Bad Santa Astro-Who cares? Mr. Spacely-DeVito MattyDaddy, it should have been Don Rickles for Boss Hogg. (Reply to this) |

on May 05 2006 04:47 PM William H. Macy, Tim Allen, Jim Carrey, Steve Martin are good choices. I saw that someone mentioned Jason Lee... That would be awesome. (Reply to this) |

on May 05 2006 07:38 PM George- Jason Lee Jane- Felicity Huffman Judy- Sara Paxton (Aquamarine) Elroy- Spencer Broslin (The Cat In ThE hAT) Rosie- Jennifer Coolidge Astro- CGI, voiced by Neill Flynn (Reply to this) |
on May 07 2006 01:43 PM [b]Jetson's Cast[/b] Trying to go on a different bend that those so far... George -- Tim Allen or Steve Martin Jane -- Marcia Cross (a bit off the wall I know, but I think it works) Judy -- Kristen Bell Elroy -- Angus T. Jones (2 1/2 Men) Rosie -- Ellen DeGeneras Astro -- Andy Serkis (let him do the capture for the CGI too) (Reply to this) |
