Overview

  • Multiple industry outlets reported Tuesday that Ryan Gosling and producer Jessie Henderson have begun early development at Warner Bros. on a live-action Flintstones feature focused on an adult Bamm-Bamm Rubble.
  • The project is currently out to writers as the studio seeks a screenwriter and has not announced a director, cast, release date or detailed plot beats.

  • Warner Bros. and trades note the move builds on a history of live-action Flintstones films, with Universal’s 1994 and 2000 adaptations together grossing about $401 million worldwide.
