Comedy icon Jim Carrey, who has seen a resurgence in his career in recent years starring in the live-action "Sonic the Hedgehog" film series, is now reportedly eyeing another major live-action adaptation. The Wrap reported today that Carrey is in talks to star in a live-action film based on Hanna-Barbera's classic animated series "The Jetsons," often considered the futuristic counterpart to "The Flintstones."

Beyond Carrey's potential involvement, Colin Trevorrow (pictured above), who directed the first and third "Jurassic World" installments and penned all three screenplays, is reportedly in negotiations to helm the project. He would co-write the script alongside Joe Epstein, co-creator and co-writer of the HBO series "The Idol."
This isn't the first attempt to bring "The Jetsons" to live-action. In 2017, ABC ordered a pilot for a live-action TV series, with Academy Award-winning director Robert Zemeckis ("Forrest Gump") attached as an executive producer. However, that series ultimately wasn't picked up. Whether this new live-action film will successfully materialize remains to be seen.
