I guess they could de-age him. He still has his physical ability.

But also this

Always happy to see Jim Carrey in new stuff. Trevorrow directed one really great movie 13 years ago but has done only mediocre films since (imo).

e: just realized he has written all of these mediocre films as well, whereas he didn't write the one I liked. So maybe he's a good director and just not a great writer.

This seems like a horrible miscast, but he's a talented guy so maybe it'll work out.

He was. But he came back for Sonic films.

He might do other films for money. Wanting to make more money is understandable.

He basically is but had said if a role came along he was really interested in he would do it. It was never Im 100% done. Just mostly really scaled back.

Maybe it's supposed to be a statement on how people are waiting longer and longer to have kids. Maybe in the future it's just gonna get worse and worse.

But also Trevorrow is garbage so who cares.

Carrey also did a TV show called "Kidding" that was still airing after the first Sonic movie came out.

I like Jim Carrey, and I'm all for a live action version of the Jetsons, but this would be a weird casting choice.

Fuck Jim carrey, he gave an ex girlfriend an std knowingly and is responsible for her death.

He's a weirdo who thinks vaccines cause autism, probably still thinks that.

I think that was just Jenny McCarthy. I don't think he ever backed her up on that.

Seems like a weird casting choice. Then again, this is Jim Carrey. For years all of his roles were pretty weird casting choices and he blew them all out of the water anyways. So I'm sure he'll make it work.

No, In 2009 he wrote a HuffPost essay objecting to child vaccines due to perceived links to autism.

Then in 2015 he tweeted that there's mercury and aluminum in vaccines.

That tweet was after they broke up.

No, he's been as outspoken about it as her. He wrote an article to Huff Post questioning vaccinations, and after the California governor passed a vaccination law in 2015, he called him a "corporate fascist who was poisoning kids".

Kinda amazed this never happened when they did the live action Flintstones movie back in the day.

Also wish these "legacy" cartoons would remain in the cupboard. I went to a Warner theme park a year ago. They still put the looney toons all over everything, which is weird because nearly all the little kids were asking "who is that"?

At least looney tunes keeps getting shows. The last one ended only 5 years ago. The last jetsons anything was like 35 years ago.

Live action Futurama makes more sense for the kinda satire I'm assuming this movie would have.

Hell, Carrey could be both Fry and Farnsworth.

Shut your face! Looney Tunes are timeless and if kids aren't recognizing them anymore, that's a fault of Warner Brothers, not them!

The guy does have range. He's not all absurdist physical comedy.

Do I think they're not going to force it that direction? Of course not. I'm just saying, if for whatever reason they do decide to respect the source material like we all know they won't, he could do it.

Looney Tunes has still been active though.

  • The Looney Tunes Show aired on Cartoon Network from 2011 to 2013.
  • New Looney Tunes aired on Cartoon Network and Boomerang from 2015 to 2020.
  • Looney Tunes Cartoons aired on HBO Max from 2020 to 2024
  • Bugs Bunny Builders, a preschool show, started in 2022 and is still ongoing on Cartoon Network.
  • Tiny Toons Looniversity aired on Cartoon Network from 2023 to 2025
Since the 90's, the longest time we've gone without some kind of Looney Tunes show being ongoing were the 4 years in between Loonatics Unleashed and The Looney Tunes Show.

And even though it sucked, there was Space Jam 2 just a few years ago.

Yeah I'd have pegged George more for a Will Ferrell or Seth Rogen kind of casting.

Carrey feels more like Spacely

If they're really playing up the "George is abused by Spacely" angle than Carrey can work. He's played the sympathetic doormat enough that he can fit that role just fine.

Spacely isn't even human-shaped so I'm willing to stretch the appearances a little.
