Jim Carrey, meet George Jetson. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Carrey is currently in talks with Warner Bros. Pictures to star in a live-action version of the 1960s animated series, The Jetsons. Colin Trevorrow (Jurassic World) is attached to direct the film, with Trevorrow and Joe Epstein in negotiations to write the script.
Plans to turn the popular Hanna-Barbera show that premiered on ABC in 1962 into a live-action movie have been bandied about for years, including a 2003 proposal that had Adam Shankman linked to direct. Filmmakers such as Robert Rodriguez and Conrad Vernon have also been attached at different stages of development.
The original Jetsons series was about a space-age family living in the future, including George Jetson, wife Jane, their two kids Judy and Elroy, robot housekeeper Rosie, and their dog, Astro.
