Jim Carrey is reportedly in talks to star in a live-action adaptation of the classic animated series The Jetsons at Warner Bros. The film, directed by Colin Trevorrow, is set to bring the beloved Hanna-Barbera creation to life in a new way. The project is also in the works with Trevorrow and Joe Epstein writing the script. This news comes as a surprise to many, as the original The Jetsons only ran for a short period on ABC from 1962 to 1963, followed by a reboot in the '80s. Despite its short-lived initial run, the show's impact on pop culture is undeniable, with its iconic characters and futuristic setting still resonating with audiences today. The live-action adaptation is a bold move, especially considering the mixed results of other Hanna-Barbera cartoon adaptations, such as the Scooby-Doo live-action movies, which, while successful, didn't quite match the original's charm. Jim Carrey, a veteran of the 90s and early 2000s comedy scene, has found new life in franchise roles, notably as the villainous Ivo Robotnik in Paramount's Sonic the Hedgehog series, which has grossed over $1.2 billion. With his versatility and box-office appeal, Carrey could be the perfect choice to bring the eccentric and quirky characters of The Jetsons to life on the big screen. However, Warner Bros. has yet to comment on the rumors, leaving fans to speculate and eagerly await further updates on this exciting project.
