According to sources, Jim Carrey is in talks to take on a role in a live-action version of 'The Jetsons,' with Colin Trevorrow potentially stepping in as director for Warner Bros. Pictures. While negotiations are still in progress, no contracts have been signed. This film aims to bring back the iconic 1960s animated series that chronicled the lives of the Jetson family, including George, Jane, their children Judy and Elroy, and their pet dog Astro. Carrey, who has a history of starring in blockbuster films, most recently played Dr. Robotnik in the 'Sonic the Hedgehog' franchise, which has grossed over $1 billion worldwide. Meanwhile, Trevorrow, known for his success with the 'Jurassic World' films, is also in discussions to co-write the screenplay with Joe Epstein.
