Over the last few years we have seen many classic cartoons getting the big screen treatment, with Scooby-Doo, The Flintstones and Yogi Bear all getting their own films. Now it looks like classic Hanna-Barbera family The Jetsons may be getting their own feature film in animated from.
Rumoured for many years now, Deadline is reporting today that Warner Bros. is planning to move forward with a fully animated feature. According to the report, Matt Lieberman (Dr. Dolittle: Tail to the Chief) is set to write the screenplay for the new adventure.
The original version of the cartoon followed the huge success of The Flintstones, and aired on ABC from September 1962 to March 1963. The family were last seen in the 1990 animated feature Jetsons: The Movie, which was directed by Hanna and Barbera.
Lieberman is currently working on bringing a few well-known franchise back to life, including the remake of Short Circuit, and a new feature-length animated Scooby Doo feature.
