Jonny Quest: Difference between revisions

{{quote box|[[File:johnny-quest.jpg|frame]]}}

Doug Wildey created this 1964 animated [[Adventure Series]], the first produced by [[Hanna-Barbera]] and the first to use realistically drawn human characters in [[Science Fiction]] or adventure settings. The series aired in prime time on [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]].

A second ''Jonny Quest'' series was syndicated in 1986-87, with two new characters: Jessie Bradshaw, whose father was a colleague of Dr. Quest, and Hard Rock, a man made of living stone. This series culminated in two [[Mad For TV Movie|made-for-TV movies]] - ''[[JonnysJonny's Golden Quest]]'' and ''[[Jonny Quest Versusvs. the Cyber Insects]]'' - which introduced Race Bannon's daughter, Jessie (not the same character as Jessie Bradshaw).

[[Cartoon Network]] made some changes to the format when it debuted ''[[Jonny Quest: theThe Real Adventures (Animation)|Jonny Quest the Real Adventures]]'' in 1996. New characters included Race's daughter [[Action Girl|Jessie]] (not the same as the non-canon Jessie above), the recurring villains Jeremiah Surd and Ezekiel Rage, and [[The Vamp|the twin daughters]] of Dr. Zin (who, of course, was from the original series). Also, the characters had access to Questworld, a [[Cyberspace|virtual reality realm]] represented in most episodes by 3-D computer animation. According to this [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Real_Adventures_of_Jonny_Quest:The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest|Wikipedia article]], development began in 1992, but the series went through three production teams over the next four years.

A [[Live Action Adaptation]] of ''Jonny Quest'' was announced in August 2007, with recentPeter newsSegal placingdirecting Zac Efron as Jonny and [[Dwayne Johnson|The Rock]] as Race Bannon. In December 2013 Segal made it clear the project was far from dead, and that he was hoping to make it his next film; whether Efron and The Rock are still attached is unknown.
