"According to , Jim Carrey is in talks to star in the first-ever live-action movie adaptation of The Jetsons, the classic Hanna-Barbera cartoon series following an all-American family in the year 2062. Carrey would play George Jetson, the patriarch of the family who works an exhausting two hours a week for Spacely Space Sprockets, most of which is spent getting in trouble with his boss."
"Carrey has recently been playing the villainous Dr. Robotnik in the live-action Sonic the Hedgehog movies, so we know that his brand of silliness can work with pretty much any source material. However, it's likely this movie will be more sci-fi than fans may expect: Colin Trevorrow, director and co-writer of Jurassic World, is in talks to direct and work on the script."
Modern technology reflects many classic science-fiction predictions, but mainstream entertainment frequently revisits older franchises through remakes and retrofuturist revival. A live-action adaptation of The Jetsons is advancing with Jim Carrey reportedly in talks to portray George Jetson, the patriarch who works two hours a week at Spacely Space Sprockets and often gets into trouble with his boss. Colin Trevorrow is in talks to direct and help write the screenplay, bringing blockbuster science-fiction experience from Jurassic World and a past attachment to Star Wars: Episode IX. The film would mark the first live-action Jetsons feature since 1990 and signal retrofuturism's continued prominence.
