    Oh yeah, and while it's not sci-fi, I'm still amazed that they still haven't filmed Brian Michael Bendis's "Torso."


    How can you go wrong with Elliot Ness hunting a vicious serial killer amongst the Hoovervilles of 1930's Cleveland, and it's all a true story!?!

    I'm afraid that Venture Bros. have completely ruined any chance Hollywood might have ever had of producing a watchable Johnny Quest movie.


    If they try to go tongue-in-cheek old school Johnny Quest, it'll find itself in direct comparison with Venture Bros, and unless the writing is extremely good, then a lot of people will probably walk out of the theater disappointed.


    If they play it as a straight up "modernized adventure flick with minor callbacks to the original series to keep the nerds happy", then it'll suck worse than 'Lost In Space' and 'Speed Racer' combined.

    Joss Whedon needs to write and direct the Jonny Quest film.


    And, Tim Matheson, the voice of Jonny Quest and Otter from Animal House needs a cameo.

    I only want to see an Jonny Quest movie if it's old-school, not "updated" or "reimagined." Old-school Jonny Quest means:


    1. Race Bannon fucking kills people.

    2. Commie bad guys, who get killed by Race Bannon.

    3. Not a woman in sight, and let's keep that subtext between Dr. Q. and Race in the closet.

    4. The original soundtrack. Put some pop ballad on, or some God-damned synthed up version of the original, and I swear I'll fly to California and stuff the music director into a Sousaphone.

    5. Hajji keeps his Nehru jacket and turban. If he's hip and street-smart, may the demon king Ravana devour the scriptwriters.

    5.5. Hajji is from India. Let's not try to get clever with our geopolitics.

    6. Computers are large machines with many blinky lights.

    7. If Dr. Quest et al are protecting the God-damned environment from exploiters, may Bandit pee in the writers' shoes.

    8. Pterodactyls. Also giant eyeball spiders.

    @Cambias: Bless you, I agree with you on every point. Sadly, that's not what making a soulless remake is all about. Hollywood knows we the audience are easily confused by movies set in the distant past with primitive customs and politically incorrect social mores. Just sit back and let them churn out another 2 hours of pablum that conforms to the Accepted Formula.

    After all, they know what's best for us.

    "The Black List, a list of the year's best unProduced movie screenplays based on a poll of 250 film execs,..."

    and I've also heard it described as 'favorite' not 'best'...


    WHAT WOULD KENNY DO? ...sounds like The Kid - [www.imdb.com] only with the old switcheroo...


    ROUNDTABLE - sounds lame...they should just do 'Mage' and have done with it.

    I'd take a Johnny Quest film for sure... but A Venture Bros over that any day.


    As for Brian K Vaughn boy he's a creative genius, one might say a visionary.

    When I saw that title I fully expected it to be an explanation of some of IO9's odder posts, like that one about Rose McGowan and Robert Rodriguez.

    Sometimes I wish for writers who aren't confused and furious about the same things as other writers, no matter how cutely they describe their process.
