According to a source over at Pajiba, Robert Rodriguez won’t be directing the live-action Jetsons movie. While Rodriguez himself sounded enthusiastic after he said he’s been working on ideas for the adaptation for a long time, he has spread himself a bit thin with Predators, Machete, Spy Kids 4 and Sin City 2, so he’s rumored to have dropped out of The Jetsons.
Get Smart director, Peter Segal, is going to be helming The Jetsons. Apparently no deal has been officially signed, but it’s looking likely that Segal will score the spot in the big chair. The existing script will be scrapped by WB, although they’re not planning on bringing on any new writers to write a new version of it until Segal signs on the dotted line.
No release date has been set for The Jetsons as of yet.
