Not only is a live-action feature version of The Jetsons reportedly in the works at Warner Bros. Pictures, but Jim Carrey is in talks to star in the project, which already has Colin Trevorrow attached to direct. Trevorrow and Joe Epstein are in talks to write the script.

The Jetsons, originally an animated comedy series that debuted in 1962, centred on a Space Age family made up of father George Jetson, mother Jane, their two kids, their robot housekeeper Rosie, and dog Astro. William Hanna and Joseph Barbera were co-creators. It was conceived as a futuristic counterpart to The Flintstones.

A live-action feature version has been in development in some shape or form for decades now, as was a live-action television series that was never picked up. Talents such as Adam Shankman, Robert Rodriguez, Conrad Vernon and Robert Zemeckis were all, at some point, attached to one iteration or another.

We haven’t seen much of Jim Carrey in recent years, with his big-screen roles mostly limited to portraying Dr. Robotnik in Paramount’s live-action Sonic the Hedgehog franchise. Trevorrow’s latest directorial effort, meanwhile, was 2022’s Jurassic World Dominion.

Stay tuned to find out who might star opposite Carrey in the upcoming feature.
