Jim Carrey to Star in New ‘Jetsons’ Film — But Do You Remember the Failed 1990 Adaptation?

Jim Carrey is reportedly in talks to star in a live-action Jetsons movie, directed by Jurassic World: Dominion‘s Colin Trevorrow, according to Variety. If Carrey does take on the role, he’ll have some very big (space) shoes to fill — not just because George Jetson is one of the most famous animated characters of all time, but because the Jetson family’s last foray to the big screen did not go all that well. In fact, the 1990 film Jetsons: The Movie was so critically savaged that no new media featuring the futuristic family was released for more than 25 years afterwards.
