The Jetsons: Jim Carrey in the Live-Action Movie
The series of the same name was ahead of its time!
"The Jetsons" are returning with a live-action film! And according to The Wrap, Jim Carrey himself is set to take on the lead role of family patriarch George Jetson – the face of the iconic science fiction series.
Colin Trevorrow, best known for the "Jurassic World" movies, is directing and writing the screenplay. He is being assisted on the script by Joe Epstein, showrunner of the HBO series "The Idol".
The setting is expected to have a retro-futuristic look, similar to the recent Marvel film "The Fantastic Four: First Steps", which viewers have frequently compared to the aesthetics of the Jetsons. "The Jetsons" are considered an iconic vision of the future from the 1960s, created by the legendary Hanna-Barbera studios. The show depicted a futuristic world full of flying cars, videophones, and automated household appliances. The family was definitely ahead of its time – many of those ideas have since become part of our everyday lives.
