Current Events > Elizabeth Banks working on Flintstones spinoff about adult Pebbles

(+) Yeah! (+)

The Flintstones is getting an update that's in the works at Fox, and a new update has arrived courtesy of Elizabeth Banks. The Cocaine Bear helmer is executive producing the new Flintstones series, titled Bedrock, which primarily follows an adult Pebbles Flintstone. Banks is also providing the voice of Pebbles for the new cartoon show.
In a recent chat with TVLine, Banks clarifies that Bedrock is "still in development." She added, "I'm also playing Pebbles, excitedly, and we're working on it."
While the animated series follows an older Pebbles, fans shouldn't expect it to be geared toward adult audiences, much in the way Mindy Kaling's Scooby-Doo spinoff Velma had been. Banks says that Bedrock is designed to be enjoyed by both children and adults so families can watch it together. With that said, she teased that the show may have a little bit of edge to it in the vein of something like The Simpsons.
"Oh, I think we still want it to be for co-viewing [by parents with their kids]," Banks explains. "It will have adult themes, like all the greats just like The Simpsons or South Park but 'family-ish friendly.' I mean, I let my kids watch South Park"
When jokingly asked if that means Bamm-Bamm wouldn't be suffering from ED in the series, Banks noted, "Not that I know of right now!"

fucking why

Wtf happened to the Seth McFarlane Flintstones show? That actually had a decent chance at being watchable cuz that dude has a genuine passion towards the property.

"When jokingly asked if that means Bamm-Bamm wouldn't be suffering from ED in the series"

fucking why

My first thought. I understand modernizing old classics (Scooby-Doo has a new iteration like every 3-5 years) but at least be sensible. Who's watching the Flintstones for Pebbles?

She's not even a character. She's literally just a plot device.

She going to blame superhero movies again when that bombs too?

in the way Mindy Kaling's Scooby-Doo spinoff Velma had been.

She and bam bam had a show where they were adults. She had character there when she wasn't a literal baby.

But really who asked for this?

Um...maybe it won't be as tryhard as Velma?

But really who asked for this?

Yeah this seems about ... 30 years late.

Happy Days remake starring a female Fonzie.

But really who asked for this?

Who considers South Park family friendly lol

does everything need to be asked for? Just let people make shit and if you dont like it dont watch it and if you do like then watch it

That's cool and all until she blames men for not showing up. You don't antagonize potential audience and expect no hostility

What we really need is a Dinosaurs reboot

Oh right lets get mad at Elizabeth banks for things that havent happened yet

fuckin bitch

Thaw them out and you can have a continuation.

They'll probably just make him gay. It's the lowest hanging fruit. ED would mean acknowledging that he has a penis and intends to use it.

fucking why
