‘The Flintstones’ Live-Action Movie in the Works at Warner Bros. From Producer Ryan Gosling

The property originated as an ABC cartoon before being adapted for Universal's 1994 live-action hit that starred John Goodman and Rick Moranis.

Warner Bros. Pictures is in the process of developing a live-action "Flintstones" movie with Ryan Gosling and Jessie Henderson as producers, according to TheWrap. The adaptation of the classic Hanna-Barbera cartoon, which debuted in 1960, will be entirely new, with key plot details still undisclosed. The original series, set in the Stone Age town of Bedrock, followed Fred and Wilma Flintstone, their daughter Pebbles, and their friends Barney and Betty Rubble, their son Bamm-Bamm, and their pet dinosaur, Dino.

A live-action film featuring the Flintstone family premiered in 1994, starring John Goodman, Rick Moranis, and Elizabeth Perkins. Another live-action installment, "The Flintstones in Viva Rock Vegas," hit theaters in 2000, with Mark Addy, Stephan Baldwin, and Kristen Johnson in the cast. Ryan Gosling and Jessie Henderson are also currently producing Rachel Morrison's romantic drama "Love of Your Life," which stars Margaret Qualley, Aaron Pierre, Patrick Schwarzenegger, Gabriel Basso, and Catherine Keener.

This film is set to premiere at the Toronto Film Festival next month. Meanwhile, Gosling is set to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Ghost Rider in an upcoming feature film.
