14 DAY TRIAL // All of you nostalgic people out there who are still watching “The Flintstones” cartoons on TV, there is good news coming your way. Warner Bros. plans to bring back the lovable cartoons to the big screen in a full-length animated feature that will make you say “Yabba-daba-doo.”
The news comes via The Hollywood Reporter and claims that Chris Henchy is partnering up with Will Ferrell and Adam McKay to write the script and produce this new cartoon. Ferrell and McKay are going to act as executive producers on the project that is already in the development stage.
Get ready to see Fred, Wilma, Barney and Betty, those lovable Stone Age characters make their comeback on the big screen, after they made a successful run on the small screen between 1960 and 1966.
Of course, those were only the years the show ran its course, because, in reality, the cartoon is still being aired by some televisions on syndication. They were billed as “the modern stone age family” and we'll see if they've got what it takes to run with more contemporary animated characters.
The movie version appeared in 1994, and it starred John Goodman, Elizabeth Perkins, Rick Moranis, Rosie O'Donnell and Elizabeth Taylor. It had Steven Spielberg as one of the producers working on the film and the script was famously written by 32 people.
