"Based on the novel by Jess Walter. After a New York City policeman shoots himself in the head following the 9/11 terrorist attacks, he is assigned to work for a shadowy agency at ‘Ground Zero’ and quickly finds himself drawn into a sinister government plot."
What? Shoots in head and lives?

Also, the premise could be that he thinks its weird, too, only to find that he's actually dead and working for God, or something.

Johnny Quest could have been interesting depending on how it was done.
I agree with jbq that there is a serious lack of sci-fi on there. Either that stuff that's being pitched is getting made (highly doubtful) or it's not being pitched which seems the far more likely scenario of the two.

Disappointing lack of Science-Fiction, but at least a few Samurai-flicks, samurais are always good. Except for with Tom Cruise.

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!?!

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.

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

No.
Yes.

No. Yes; can he do the Dr. Quest voice now? He was the VPOTUS on West Wing for a while.

The original 60's version rocked so hard, as detailed in Cambias' post, see above.

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.

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

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.
there's also :
GALAHAD by Ryan Condal
"A revisionist twist on the King Arthur legend from the knight Galahad's perspective."

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