Garth Franklin of Dark Horizons asks: ...what's more interesting to him - space or dinosaurs?
As rumoured yesterday, Rodriguez is in very early talks to direct a live-action feature version of futuristic 1960s cartoon "The Jetsons" for Warner Bros. Pictures.
Rodriguez himself confirmed to AICN that Warners offered him several projects with 'The Jetsons looking the most interesting, but it will depend upon the script - the latest draft of which is being [written] by Adam Goldberg ("Fanboys").
In the same interview he mentioned that there was something else on the horizon for him, but wouldn't elaborate. That project could be the film version of the 1970s Sid and Marty Krofft fantasy TV series "Land of the Lost."
Today's trades report that Rodriguez met with Will Ferrell and Universal execs for helming duties on 'Land' - but again it was early talk, no official offers or discussions have been made or entered into so far.
Though not a member of the Directors Guild, Rodriguez could direct a studio movie if he declared himself under "financial core" status with the DGA.
Clearly, Rodriguez is well-suited to handle either property--thanks in part, to his experience helming the effects heavy Spy Kids trilogy and the green screen photography of Sin City...
I grew up watching both series as a kid. Were I in charge of things--I would prefer that Rodriguez tackle the Jetsons over that of LOTL--just as a matter making the decision for him. I think he is better suited to take us forward in time as opposed to going back in time...
Incidentally filming on Sin City 2 is (finally) well underway...Smokin' Aces' writer/director Joe Carnahan says he's Seen 'Sin City 2' Teaser...
