    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.

    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.

      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.

      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.
