Jim Carrey, Colin Trevorrow in Talks for Warner Bros.’ Live-Action Jetsons

The project is in early development with no deals closed or studio confirmation, reviving a property that has repeatedly stalled in past live-action tries.

Overview

  • Multiple trades report Carrey is negotiating to star as Trevorrow negotiates to direct and co-write with Joe Epstein.
  • Warner Bros. declined to comment, and there is no confirmed casting, plot, production timeline, or release date.
  • The Jetsons originated as a 1962 Hanna-Barbera series about George and Jane Jetson, their kids Judy and Elroy, dog Astro, and robot maid Rosie in Orbit City.
  • Previous efforts never reached release, including a 2003 film with Adam Shankman, a 2007 CGI take with Robert Rodriguez, and a 2017 ABC live-action pilot involving Robert Zemeckis.
  • Coverage frames the move within Warner Bros.’ broader use of Hanna-Barbera IP, noting past live-action success with Scooby-Doo and recent franchise credentials for Carrey and Trevorrow.
