Hollywood really is out of any good ideas.

Trevorrow….
The guy who shat out those dogshit Jurassic World movies is doing a remake of the dipshit Jetson’s cartoon.
Holy fuck, HARD PASS.
Is he not a smidge old for that?
And a smidge too insane. Those STDs have a toll.
If it doesn’t have the 90s corniness of the live action Flintstones movie I don’t want it
Also if this movie does well I want another crossover film.
👨🌾 🪣 🐮
Not sure how a retirement-age George Jetson is going to work, but studios still seem to be convinced that it's the 2000s.
Is he acting? It seems to say he is only directing it.
It says that Trevorrow is directing it. Carrey is "leading" it, which means he's playing the lead character.
I love the "fuck retirement, I'm still having fun" energy that Jim brings to recent roles.
This one doesn't make sense to me. The cartoon ran for a year in the 1960s and for another two years in the 1980s. I don't remember it being all that popular. It felt like Flintstones was more popular and that movie (plus made-for-tv sequels) didn't exactly rake in money at the box office.
Gotta have media people are nostalgic for in order to play the nostalgia remake card and I don't think the Jetsons is it.
Does it need to be popular?
I'm just happy it isn't a remake of something recent.
The Jetsons was rerunning basically every day throughout my childhood so I imagine, while it wasn’t long lived, there’s an air of nostalgia (and the fact it’s an old license that hasn’t been “exploited” yet).
Yeah in the 90s it was always Flintstones then Jetsons back-to-back at lunch, right after school, and Saturdays would have 2 episodes of each.
It's still got 75 episodes over those 3 seasons. And as others pointed out, syndication galore.
Market research based on the Fantastic Four movie. Maybe people are looking favorably at retro-futurism these days.
Tomorrowland was a mess, but perhaps ironically before its time.
There was absolute nothing ahead of its time about that dipshit Tomorrowland movie.
As opposed to Fantastic 4??
I never bothered to see that movie so I couldn’t tell you.
I have no intention to ever see that movie. I am done with supercape shit.
