Jim Carrey in talks to star in live-action 'Jetsons' movie from Colin Trevorrow
 

30 years after The Flintstones were brought to life on screen, another iconic Hanna-Barbera family is getting the live-action treatment, The Jetsons. Warner Bros. Is distributing the film with Colin Trevorrow (Jurassic World) is being eyed to direct and Jim Carrey is in talks to star. It's not known if Carrey is in talks to play George Jetson or Mr. Spacely. Personally, I think it's kind of late to give this show the live-action treatment.

Not late at all. It probably would have looked like sh** if they'd tried this too much further back.

Jim as Mr. Spacely? I'd say he's a little tall for that. Will most likely be George, or maybe Cogswell. Wonder who would play Rosie.

100% chance he will be George.

Ughh... While Robotnik can kinda get away with the Jim Carrey-isms... George is too much of a timid everyman type to get the Ace Ventura treatment.

He's 63. Isnt't he a bit too old to play George?

If this was the year 2005 and it was 20 years ago I'd say he would be perfect. But now in the year 2026?+

What is it with Hollywood still banking on all the old 1980's/1990's actors like they're all still in their prime? Every single one of them are senior citizens now.

I know it won't happen, but it would be funny if the opening of the film started like this.

It took them long enough, we almost got it in the 90's. I would have preferred a 90's version or at least early 2000's but better late then never.

The two live-action Flintstones movies came out in the early 90's with John Goodman as Fred and Rick Moranis as Barney Rubble. I'm surprised they didn't make a Jetsons movie back then.

They came out in 1994 and 2000. Goodman and Moranis are only in the first one.

I hope it will come out and I am really excited to see how this movie will be

Rewatching 90s Jim Carrey movies are a bit cringe, but if you watch more recent movies he is far more careful in how to overreact at stuff, I actually enjoy him more in anything he's in after the 2000s.

I mean this is the Jetsons, a property that was never all that popular and has been a dead brand for 30+ years, this movie has a lot of potential if they have fun with the property. I still hope it takes place in the future of 2060s and that George Jetson was born in the 2020s :lol:

As long as the script is good and doesn't take itself too seriously which you can't with such a silly concept it'll be a good fun watch. There is really no way to reboot Jetsons or the Flintstones unless it's a tongue in cheek parody really.

While this most likely won't happen like you said maybe movie will open with live action version of theme song of Jetsons cartoon

I have to say, there's only one Jim Carrey. Like whenever he kicks it, no one could replicate that comedy style and his zany movements and body language. I'd imagine anyone trying would come off as trying too hard.

You can say that about ALL 80's and 90's actors. Every single one of them was unique and they've all been dying one after the other, and nobody can replicate them.

It's weird, there are a handful of breakout actors from the early 2000's but after that I have no idea who the most popular modern actors are. Modern actors just do not stand out in any way to me. I mean who is even popular now of the younger generation of actors? Tom Holland who plays Spider-man...? The kids in Cobra Kai or Stranger Things? Outside those shows or movies they're nobodies and will never have another big role again.

This could be good if done right. The Flintstones movie from 1994 was pretty good.

I hope the live action version sticks to the retro future look of the original, Its hard to see the Jetsons done in a more modern futuristic style, You can apply some modern stuff to it, but keep it retro future.

Yeah, similar to how Fantastic Four First Steps movie is set in retro futuristic 60s universe
