Variety reports that WWE Studios and Warner Bros. are set to co-produce an animated Flintstones feature which will be released direct-to-DVD (and presumably Blu-ray) at some point in 2015. It will feature the likes of Vince McMahon, John Cena, CM Punk and other WWE superstars playing Flintstone-ized versions of themselves - Vince McMagma, John Cenastone and CM Punkrock are the examples given by the site - as Fred and Barney attend their first WWE live event. It certainly is a rather unique idea and is not the first pairing between the two studios after it was recently revealed that a new Scooby Doo movie will be released (once again featuring WWE talent) ahead of next year's Wrestlemania. "WWE is family-friendly entertainment, so partnering with Warner Bros. on a Flintstones-WWE project was a natural extension of our ‘Scooby-Doo’ deal," said Michael Luisi, president, WWE Studios. "This new, animated feature allows us to showcase our brand with young fans and loyal Flintstones enthusiasts alike." WWE Studios also announced yesterday that they had found a director for their Leprechaun remake, but whether or not they one day end up tackling a superhero movie remains to be seen...

When I think of Flintstones, I always think of the WWE.

Whatever happen to that Seth Macfarlane Flintstones show?

Good one Levi. Yea, movies stunk. The Critic reviewed the live-action one, but I most certainly hope he reviews The Flintstones in Veva Rock Vegas.

First off - @ Supercat That is friggen awesome.

Second - It was announced a couple years back that Seth McFarlane was going to be the brains behind a new prime time Flinstones show. Now this. Vinny Mac is really reaching for that "family vibe". OF course when a couple years earlier when they had people "having intercourse" in the ring I could see why he's trying so hard. But Vince McMagma? Sheesh. They should use "the Dwayne" instead of "the Rock."

True love is hard to find, sometimes you think you have true love and then you catch the early flight home from San Diego and a couple of nude people jump out of your bathroom blindfolded like a goddamn magic show ready to double team your girlfriend...

CM Punk is the only reason I watch WWE these days. And if he's not involved in this (which I doubt he will be) then I don't care. Shit movie.

no just no this is [frick]ing stupid ok at least the scooby-doo idea would have some form of sense this is just stupid and should be filed under " oh hell no" which is right next to " i'll never see this in my life not even if my life deepened on it" [frick] you warner bros and [frick] you vince

I will be looking forward to seeing this and the Scooby animated movies...Seeing Punk in cartoon form is going to be priceless...I also hope to see Santino Marella...as I think he would bring a lot of comedy to it...This reminds me of the good old days of cartoons like Batman & Scooby-Doo and The Flintstones meet the Jetsons...I too would have liked to see Seth's version...I just hope this movie isn't rebooted too...The first one was perfect...the sequel was horrible, as most are lol...Also the PG WWE does suck quite bad...
