Elizabeth Banks Wants To Make A New Flintstones Cartoon
When actors make the leap in front of the camera to behind it, things don’t always work out. But there are exceptions, and as it turns out, Elizabeth Banks has a wild mind and knows what will get attention. Cocaine Bear was her own idea. Now she’s interested in making a cartoon for the Fox network that takes place in Bedrock, home of the Flintstones, only 20 years removed from the original series. Banks would play the central character, Pebbles Flintstone, now a twentysomething trying to make her way in the big, shiny, Bronze Age world. Stephen Root would voice her aging father, Fred Flintstone. Humanity discovered how to make metal late in Fred’s career and he’s unsure what to do, confused by this new technology. The show would simply be called “Bedrock,” and I should stop speaking with theoretical verbiage because this actually has a pilot deal and a full cast has been picked. It’s probably happening. Not only is there already a canon design for an adult version
