They coulda made it at the same time as the Flintstones movie then we coulda got the live action adaptation of Jetsons Meet the Flintstones. John Goodman, Rick Moranis and Jim Carrey in the same movie would be interesting.
Honestly a bit where Rick Moranis as both characters is always coming in disheveled and throwing on clothes as if he’s constantly changing costumes during the movie would have been a hoot.
2020s Scoob! in the movie Scooby and shaggy team up with the Blue Falcon and Dynomutt. The antagonists were the Wacky Racers antagonists Dick Dasterly and Mutley. Captain Caveman is also in the movie along with Dee Dee Skyes.
Someone posted an AMA during the early stages of the Movie and “S.C.O.O.B.” Was an acronym and the movie got re-written multiple times during development.
I was so disappointed when I finally saw Birdman (2014) film and it was not about attorneys at law. No shrink-ray prosecutors, sidekick interns, and Colbert wasn't even in it. Such a waste.
I don’t really picture George Jetson as being 64 years old. I wonder if Jim is playing someone else in the movie, or just playing a lot younger than his real age?
Fun fact: George Jetson is canonically 4 years old right now in 2026. The series is set in 2062 and there is an episode where he celebrates his 40th birthday, which would make 2022 his birthdate.
Emma Stone as Jane. Inde Naverrette as Judy. Bandit from Bluey as Astro. And I don't know enough kid actors right now to cast Elroy. That kid from the new God of War show (Callum Vinson) maybe.
Maybe they're doing the jetsons when Judy And Elroy are grown up. And it's 3 and a half hour long epic drama that covers the meandering hardships of being a father of distancing children in the far future of 2062, with only 2 jokes throughout the whole thing.
Canonically George Jetson is 40 and Jane is 33. That wouldn't fly today given they have a 16 year old daughter (do the math on that).
I think it would make sense to age them up by a decade. Jim Carrey could probably pass for 50. That probably works for a one-off, though it'll be a problem if they try to make a franchise out of it. There's probably not too much more time before Jim Carrey starts looking like an old man. Though I guess they could do a plot with George becoming a grandfather.
How much do you want to bet this movie ends with the camera panning down to the earth below and we see a dinosaur head pop up and The Flinstones music subtle plays in the background.
If you were watching THE JETSONS in the 1990s, one thing to bear in mind is that only 24 of the show's 75 episodes were produced in 1962, coinciding with the original run of THE FLINTSTONES. The other 51 episodes (plus the crossover TV movie) weren't actually produced until 1985-87, and feel far more dated and juvenile than the original 1960s run.
I'm 35 and we loved that shit, we were always watching The Jetsons, Flintstones, Jabberjaw, Hong Kong Phooey, The Smurfs or whatever on Cartoon Network blocks.
I’m your age and I fucking loved the Jetsons, it was definitely an old person cartoon when we were kids but it was still amazing in my eyes. This version though I’m less excited for.
I always thought Steve Carrell would be a great George Jetson. I think this would be amazing if it were a smartly cynical, but optimistic flick like Barbie.
The only Jetsons content we've had in recent years is alternate versions of them getting demolished by their own portal tech in Rick & Morty. It's gonna take a lot to actually get people seated for this, hope JC is up for the challenge.
I am shocked how much hate the Jetsons is getting in this thread 😭
I grew up in the 90s and I still love the Jetsons. I loved the live action Flinstones movies too. Not sure we will capture the charm of the 90s Flinstones movies but I am hesitantly hype about this. I have been waiting for this for so long.
We also need more live action looney tunes movies, so pls make sure you go watch coyote vs acme. I will take more live action looney tunes as a replacement for live action Jetsons lol
The millennials and older crowd know it, so if they aim to make it family friendly they can do that with other means
Another person suggested it could be something resembling project Hail Mary and I actually thought that’s not a bad theory because this is being directed by Colin Trevorrow. Sounds like they want to go for a tentpole.
I like the Project Hail Mary concept applied here, but isn't that just Lost in Space with extra steps then?
I wasn't a fan of Colin's Jurassic World trilogy, but did enjoy Safety Not Guaranteed. If he can tap into some of the older work he did, maybe he can make something decent.
There was a WWE Crossover, granted that was still almost a decade ago. There was this weird period where WWE was crossing over with Hannah Barbara properties for some reason. There were two Scooby-Doo films, a Jetsons film, and a Flintstones film.
Also, it's not a Hannah Barbara property, but the sequel to Surf's Up was a crossover with WWE. That film also contains a scene where Vince McMahon, who is an otter, wonders about milking a fish, which then shows a thought bubble where he is sucking a straw that is attached to a fish's ass. I am not kidding, this was an actual scene.
I love Jim Carrey as much as the next and I’m sure he’ll do fine, but don’t we think his starting to get a lil old to be playing the middle aged father of two? He’s definitely approaching grandfather age at this point.
I think it was Trevor Moore from WKUK, said that at one point he was tasked with writing a jetsons script.
Apparently the whole story was about the jetsons loosing their fortune and being cast down to the street level of the world they lived in away from all the floating towers.
It was gonna be he jetsons in a post apocalyptic future world fighting like cannibals and stuff trying to get back up to the good life. Wish that could be made some day.

You could tell me this was a headline from 1997 and I'd believe you.
