Animated Family Matters Reboot in the Works?


Last year 'Family Matters,' star Jaleel White admitted he was reason there had never been a series reboot [click here if you missed that]. 

Now Bryton James is working on an anime version...

From Variety
Bryton James, who played Richie Crawford on eight seasons of “Family Matters,” revealed he is working on an idea for an animated reboot of the 1990s sitcom.
The actor told Entertainment Weekly he “had an idea to take the show and turn it into an animated series,” which involved “taking the old episodes and modernizing them and kind of starting from scratch for the new generation.”
James said he is “pretty far along” with the animated reboot idea.family  He said he secured a production company to finance the project and succeeded in bringing “everybody on board,” including Jaleel White, who played Steve Urkel.
“It’s sitting in Warner Bros.’ hands right now,” James told EW. “That plan is still kind of floating around out there, and I’m still trying to pursue it.”
Warner Bros. Television did not immediately respond to a request for comment about the project. Per EW, “A source familiar with Warner Bros. Animation tells EW that they are aware of James’ interest in doing a reboot but the project has not moved beyond that.”

doesn't sound like a green light to me. More like a pipe dream

I hope this project is no where near the animated series created a few years ago for Good Times. That was awful to watch.

I hope it’s based on the original concept of a Black middle-class family living in Chicago and not focused on the fool with the glasses.
