Overview
- Reports first surfaced Tuesday that Ryan Gosling and producing partner Jessie Henderson are developing a live-action Flintstones feature at Warner Bros. that would focus on an adult Bamm‑Bamm Rubble.
- The project is in very early development and is actively out to writers with no writer, director, cast, or release date announced and no confirmation that Gosling will appear on screen.
- Coverage places the move in franchise context, noting Bamm‑Bamm was aged up before in the 1971 Pebbles and Bamm‑Bamm Show and that two prior live-action Flintstones films were released in 1994 and 2000, which together grossed about $401 million worldwide.
- Multiple outlets say Gosling and Henderson will produce through their Open Invite banner and that Gosling’s high profile and packed schedule — including upcoming Star Wars and Marvel roles — could shape the project’s timeline and casting choices.
- Key things to watch are which writer is hired, whether Gosling will star, and how Warner Bros. frames this character-focused reboot as part of the studio’s broader push to rework legacy IP.
