Jim Carrey Eyes Colin Trevorrow’s Live-Action ‘The Jetsons’ Movie At Warner Bros

We’ve confirmed that Jim Carrey is in talks to star in Warner Bros.’ live-action feature take of The Jetsons with Colin Trevorrow also eyeing to direct.

Trevorrow and Joe Epstein are in talks to write.

The original animated series was produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions and aired on ABC from Sept. 23, 1962-March 17, 1963. There was an animated series reboot that ran from 1985-1987.

The show followed George Jetson, corporate suit dad, in future world of flying cars, high-rises and moving sidewalk escalators. He works for a cantankerous boss, Mr. Spacely. George’s wife is Jane, posh teenage daughter is Judy, and little son Elroy. Rosie the robot is confined to chores.

There was a 1990 big screen animated take of the show which grossed just over $20 million stateside.

One of Warners’ more popular live-action takes of a Hanna-Barbera cartoon was Scooby-Doo which was released in 2002 and spawned a 2004 sequel, Scooby-Doo: Monsters Unleashed. Raja Gosnell directed both off a script by James Gunn (now Warner Bros’ co-Head of DC). Freddie Prinze Jr starred as Fred, Sarah Michelle Gellar was Daphne, Matthew Lillard played Shaggy and Linda Cardellini broke out as Velma. Both movies grossed close to a half billion at the global box office.

Warners had no comment.
