Los Angeles [US], October 16 (ANI): Hollywood star Jim Carrey is closing in on leading the live-action version of the iconic cartoon show, 'The Jetsons'.
As per The Hollywood Reporter, the actor is in talks for the project, which is being handled by Warner Bros. Pictures. While Colin Trevorrow has been roped in for the direction duties, he will also pen the script alongside Joe Epstein.
Further details surrounding the film's storyline or other cast members are yet to be unveiled.
The last 'Jetsons' featured film arrived in 1990 with 'Jetsons: The Movie'. Also, a live-action version of the show, which was first aired in 1962, has been attempted multiple times over the years, as per Variety.
