Peter Segal May Direct ‘The Jetsons’

According to reports Peter Segal is looking to take over another Warner Bros. production, ‘The Jetsons’, which had been previously been a Robert Rodriguez project. Even though he had shown a lot of fervor for the project, Rodriguez has too much on his plate right now for the project. He’s currently finishing up post-production on ‘Machete’, overseeing ‘Predators’ and working on a script for his next ‘Spy Kids’ installment. The studio was “reportedly pleased with the script that ‘King of the Hill’ scribes John Altschuler and Dave Krisnky turned in last year,” but they’ve been unable to get any talent aligned with the project, leaving it in limbo. Word is that Warner Bros. will also be looking for new writers and a new script, assuming the rumor is valid and Segal signs.
