Warner Bros is developing a new live-action Flintstones film, with Ryan Gosling attached as a producer. Multiple outlets report that the project is in early development and is currently looking for a writer. The announced concept centers on a grown-up version of Bamm-Bamm Rubble.
The news follows earlier Flintstones screen adaptations, including live-action films released in the 1990s and 2000. The outlets also note that the franchise continues to expand, including the existence of a more recent animated sequel series. While coverage agrees on the core premise—Gosling’s production role and a Bamm-Bamm-focused story—headlines and framing differ, with some sources emphasizing the “invite”/producer angle and others focusing on the unusual creative hook.
Overall, outlets describe the project as a reboot rather than a direct continuation, with development steps still underway, including script selection, and details beyond the central character and tone not yet fully established.
