Calling all Jonny Quest fans...

It looks like the classic animated series from the 1960s is the latest fan-favorite to venture into the world of live-action films.

Warner Bros. is taking on the project with Robert Rodriguez (of Spy Kids, Sin City and Machete fame) signing on to direct the movie, according to Deadline. He and Pirates of the Caribbean screenwriter Terry Rossio will both write the screenplay...

Best animated action-adventure series ever (well, until the Justice League animated series came along, that is). I hope they stay true to the original series and ignore the crappy remakes.

I loved this cartoon

I hope Rodgriquez does't try to make it Spy Kids

The most important thing is it needs to be set in the early 60's not update to today .

In the 80s an independent comic book company called COMICO
did a series on Jonny Quest . They got the artist that did the original
character studies for the cartoon to draw the comic

they were amazing because they built on and expanded what was in the cartoon

If they are smart they would go back and read these books

As long as this guy is in it, then I approve

I just fear it will never live up to my dreams and memories of the show. It can't possibily have today the racial and ethnic sensitivities of the original (Germans and Japanese = Bad Guy!) and it won't have the amazing score of the great Hoyt Curtin - his Jonny Quest theme was the best ever.

Of course I'll see it.

one of my favorite

I used to like Johnny Quest. I hope they do it justice and don't ruin it.

I hope they bring this guy back.
