Jim Carrey is zooming toward a live-action feature version of The Jetsons.
The actor is in talks to star in the project from Warner Bros. Pictures that has Colin Trevorrow attached to direct. Trevorrow and Joe Esptein are in talks to pen the script.
The Jetsons, which debuted as an animated comedy series on ABC in 1962, centered on a futuristic family comprised of George Jetson, wife Jane, their two kids, robot housekeeper Rosie and dog Astro. Hanna-Barbera produced the show.
A live-action feature version has been in various stages of development throughout the decades, with The Hollywood Reporter reporting in 2003 that Adam Shankman was attached to direct. Such filmmakers as Robert Rodriguez and Conrad Vernon have also been in talks at different stages over the years.
The Wrap was first to report on Carrey’s involvement.
More to come.
