《The Flintstones》(The Flintstones) movie project approved

Bamm-Bamm Rubble, the little boy with a big stick, may be the star of the new The Flintstones movie.On August 25, The Hollywood Reporter confirmed that Warner Bros. is developing a live-action movie centered around the character.The film is produced by Ryan Gosling and Jesse Henderson through Open Invite.

This news currently only indicates that the project has entered the development line and is far from the start-up stage.The film crew is looking for a screenwriter, and details of the story have not yet been announced.The focus of the report is Bamm-Bamm Rubble, the son of Barney Rubble and one of the closest children to Fred Flintstone.Beyond that, Warners has not announced a director, cast, production schedule or release date.

Audiences who are familiar with this series will probably first think of the daily lives of Fred and Barney.Although Bamm-Bamm is a child, he has always had a strong presence. His strength is amazing, and the family he forms with Betty and Barney is also a part of the animation that often appears.The new movie turns the camera to him, which means that this development does not intend to directly retell Fred's traditional main line. How it will be written will be more clearly explained after the screenwriter is in place.

《The Flintstones》was originally an animated series produced by Hanna-Barbera and aired on ABC in 1960.The story is set in Bedrock in the Stone Age. The characters wear animal skins, but the daily necessities have the appearance of modern society.The two couples Fred and Wilma, Barney and Betty, plus the dinosaur pet Dino, form the core family relationship of the series.The original show ran for six seasons and has since appeared in television reboots and spin-offs.

It has been remembered by generations of viewers by placing ordinary family life into an exaggerated prehistoric world.Commuting to and from get off work, visiting neighbors, quarreling between couples and taking care of children are all replaced by stones, wood and animals in Bedrock.The scenes where Bamm-Bamm's Rubble family and the Flintstones visit each other make this character never just a kid in the background.

This live-action film is co-produced by Gosling and Henderson.Open Invite, where the two work, has participated in many film projects in recent years, and Gosling himself has previously participated in different types of works as a producer.Existing reports don't say he'll be appearing, nor are there any names listed for the role, so news regarding the actor is still awaiting an official announcement.

The series has had live-action movies in the past.Universal Pictures launched a film version of The Flintstones in 1994, starring John Goodman as Fred, Rick Moranis as Barney, and Steven Spielberg as executive producer.The film's global box office reached $340 million.There was also a prequel film released in 2000, but the main cast of the 1994 film did not return.

The 1994 version moved the Stone Age town in the animation to a live-action set, and the actors, costumes and props were as close to the cartoon look as possible.The new film currently being developed by Warner is a project at a different stage than the Universal film that year, and the report did not give a specific connection in story or production between the two.Since the new film is focused on Bamm-Bamm, there is no answer yet as to the age of the characters, whether family members will appear, and what era background it will use.

Judging from the public information, Warner has just set up the production framework for the project, and the first thing that needs to be resolved is the script.How Bamm-Bamm becomes the narrative center of a live-action film is left to the screenwriter and film producers to confirm.Once the director, cast or script progress is announced, this new film - The Flintstones - will really have a clearer look.
