May 9 2007Rodriguez Deciding Between Future and Past
Sleestaks from the horrific drug-induced nightmare of Sid and Marty Krofft's Land of the Lost.
Despite poor numbers from Grindhouse, The Hollywood Reporter claims Robert Rodriguez is still in high demand, with the director currently deciding between two future projects (in addition to Sin City 2): a live-action remake of The Jetsons or a Will Ferrell remake of Sid and Marty Krofft's Land of the Lost. Strangely, no one is mentioning releasing both titles as a sequel to Grindhouse entitled Irrelevant-anachronistic-retro-television-House. Rodriguez could turn Jetsons into an action-packed, gory thrill ride (in 3-D), while collaborator Quentin Tarantino could alternate the exciting dino-action of Land of the Lost with long, tedious conversations where the Sleestaks debate why Silver Surfer is ultimately cooler than a Tyrannosaurus Rex.
But Jesus, please don't really.

The live action adaptation of "The Jetsons" MUST be made. If for no other reason than that Danny Devito was born to play Mr. Spacely. Then he can die after finally fulfilling his life's purpose.

Land of the Lost was already remade and perfected as a Nickelodeon series! What more can you ask for? That cave-woman chick was hot

Wow. It really amazes me that a so-called movie critic would judge directors and make lame jokes based on ONE movie.
Baffling.

Jo;
If you think this is a serious movie critic site, head on over to The Superficial for your daily news and information on world politics.
I would like to be the first to predict, publicly 2 soon to be remakes;
BJ & the Bear
Smokey and the Bandit
These 2 are absolute locks to be remade - late 20th century schlock is a natch.

Will Farrell needs to stay the HELL away from Land of the Lost.
