Yabba Dabba Dude Love! WWE to Make Flintstones Movie
 |
“Vince McMagma, John Cenastone and CM Punkrock” will be the costars in a new DTV animated feature that will bring together the worlds of the Flintstones and WWE. Despite my title pun, there’s no word on Mick Foley being in it – his character name just fits the catchphrase the best. This follows on the heels of a Scooby-Doo crossover due out next year.
The relationship between the two began after an ad-lib from The Rock describing John Cena as a bowl of Fruity Pebbles. Rather than take offense at the potentially homophobic innuendo (to which Cena replied with a more blatant Witch Mountain/Brokeback Mountain line about his opponent), the Flintstones folks at WB seized on the synergistic possibilities. Still, I’m guessing Dwayne Johnson is too big a star to get sucked into this as The Bedrock (which sounds like the name a Johnson-lookalike porn star might have).
Is this…ahem…Rock Bottom for the modern Stone Age family? Or would that have been the proposed Seth Macfarlane reboot?
