It seems it has gone beyond rumours... Here's a bit of information that I read on the TV Century 21 site (always an interesting site to visit) - about the Joe 90 upcoming project - and yes, it really looks like it IS upcoming...

I wonder if the poor performance of Thunderbirds has made Disney think again on this one?

Things have been pretty quiet on this front for a long time now...

I think you are absolutely right. No doubt Disney would not have even pursued pre-production on the movie until after they discovered the box office receipts of Thunderflop. As a result of its performance, I'm sure they are having second, third, and perhaps fourth thoughts about a Joe 90 flick.

Perhaps they'll put it on the back burner for a while and see if any other movies similar to Spy Kids are made in the future and perfom well at the world box office.

I'm guessing this never happened?

I think the concept is there.
It could be done.

It would be nothing like the original though, I think who ever decides to make the film will make it more along the line of "Spy Kids" or something.

Totally agree. Disney is becoming quite predictable Anyways, I'd love to check it out and I'm pretty excited
