O Seth MacFarlane (Family Guy) ανασταίνει τους Flintstones

[marantonis]

 

 

UPDATE: Fox has announced that The Flintstones will begin production in 2011 for a 2013 release, from the official press release:

 

“The very first cartoon character I drew at age two was Fred Flintstone,” said MacFarlane. “So it’s appropriate that events have come full circle, allowing me to produce the newest incarnation of this great franchise. Plus, I think America is finally ready for an animated sitcom about a fat, stupid guy with a wife who’s too good for him.”

 

"The Flintstones are among the funniest and most beloved characters in television history, and we can’t wait to introduce them to a whole new generation on FOX,” said Kevin Reilly, President of Entertainment, Fox Broadcasting Company. “FOX has long been home to iconic families like the Simpsons and the Griffins, so I have no doubt that the Flintstones and the Rubbles are going to fit right in on our air.”

 

The (pre)historic return of THE FLINTSTONES will feature MacFarlane’s modern-day take on the lives of the Flintstones and the Rubbles, two hard-working middle-class families living with contemporary conveniences in the dinosaur-era town of Bedrock. The series centers on hard-headed patriarch FRED FLINTSTONE and best friend and sidekick BARNEY RUBBLE. Fred’s Stone-Age clan includes wife WILMA, daughter PEBBLES and pet dinosaur DINO, while Barney’s brood consists of wife BETTY and son BAMM-BAMM.

Good gravy, man, does Seth MacFarlane ever sleep? As if Family Guy, American Dad and The Cleveland Show didn't take out enough of his time, the latest news will rock your bed.

 

After apparent years of deliberation, Seth MacFarlane has finally garnered the rights to launch his own TV and movie reboot of The Flintstones, according to the latest from Deadline. The new project has no current release date, but will debut on Fox likely along with MacFarlane's existing brand of Animation Domination.

 

The green light apparently culminates a longtime dream for MacFarlane, who had long sought the rights to move forward with the Flintstones reboot. In addition to miles of red tape, the property owners at Warner Bros. worried about how the animation mogul might handle their beloved characters given his particularly acerbic brand of humor. Plenty of Family Guy cutaway gags have previously made light of the Flintstones and other Hanna-Barbera properties for their dated and bizarre logic.

 

There's also no telling if The Flintstones will maintain MacFarlane's brand of adult sensibilities for primetime, or stick with more youth-oriented programming, but more details should arise once Warner Bros. and 20th Century and Fox hammer out the final points.

 

What say you? Have The Flintstones been long overdue for a makeover since their abysmal live-action films, or will Seth MacFarlane pepper them with cut-away gags and pop culture? Yabba-dabba-doo us a solid by chiseling your thoughts below!

Οι Flintstones είναι ένα απο τα πιο αγαπημένα καρτούν Παγκοσμίως με άπειρους φαν που μεγάλωσαν με αυτό. Λογικό επομένως η Fox να το γ@#$%^σει μέχρι να ψοφήσει όπως με τόσα άλλα αγαπημένα franchise.
