   A Jetson's live-action movie was likely to be awful (although The   
   Flinstones live-action movies are probably the few   
   animated-to-live-action movies that actually get close to being any   
   good!) ... but, with the abysmal Jim Carrey in the lead role, this   
   live-action "The Jetsons" movie is 1000% guaranteed to be utter   
   garbage.  :-\   
      
      
      
       Jim Carrey in Talks to Star in 'The Jetsons' Live-Action Movie   
       --------------------------------------------------------------   
       Jim Carrey is in talks to lead a "Jetsons" movie at Warner Bros.   
       Pictures with Colin Trevorrow in talks to direct, Variety has   
       confirmed.   
      
       Trevorrow, who last helmed "Jurassic World Dominion," and Joe   
       Epstein are in talks to write the screenplay. No information on   
       the storyline was immediately available.   
      
       The last "Jetsons" feature film was the 1990 animated "Jetsons:   
       The Movie." A live-action version of the familiar family   
       animated property, which first aired in 1962, has been attempted   
       numerous times over the years. The series was revived several   
       times in the 1970s and '80s, making the typical nuclear family   
       that happens to live in outer space familiar to several   
       generations of viewers.   
      
       The story revolved around George and Jane Jetson, their children   
       Judy and Elroy and dog Astro. The family lives in the space-age   
       styled Orbit City and enjoys innovations that were considered   
       wildly futuristic at the time, such as video chat, domestic   
       robots and even flying cars that are part of or about to be part   
       of daily life 60 years later.   
      
       Among the unfulfilled attempts to bring "The Jetsons" to screen   
       were a 2003 version directed by Adam Shankman, a 2007 CGI version   
       directed by Robert Rodriguez and a 2017 animated version.   
      
       Carrey most recently has appeared in "Sonic the Hedgehog" and its   
       two follow-up installments. He has a long history of taking on   
       iconic characters such as the Grinch in "How the Grinch Stole   
       Christmas," but has been seen less frequently onscreen in recent   
       years.   
      
       Before "Jurassic World Dominion," Trevorrow directed "The Book of   
       Henry," "Jurassic World" and the indie "Safety Not Guaranteed."   
      
       Warner Bros. had no comment.
