[NEWS] Jim Carrey in talks to play live-action George Jetson

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.
