The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed a rumor at LatinoReview.com that director Robert Rodriguez is in talks to direct a live-action feature version of futuristic 1960s cartoon The Jetsons for Warner Bros. Pictures, being produced by Denise Di Novi and Donald De Line.
At the same time, Rodriguez has met with Will Ferrell and Universal executive for helming duties on Land of the Lost, based on the 1970s Sid and Marty Krofft fantasy TV series to which Ferrell is attached to star.
The trade adds that “Jetsons” has the edge because its script, whose latest draft is by Adam Goldberg (Fanboys), is further along.
