Ryan Gosling will produce a new movie about The Flintstones

Warner Bros. is working on a new video game adaptation of *The Flintstones*, which will be produced by Ryan Gosling and Jesse Henderson. The project is currently in the early stages of development, and the studio is still looking for a screenwriter. Plot details have not yet been revealed, but it is known that the story will center on Bamm-Bamm Rabble—the son of Barney Rabble, Fred Flintstone’s best friend.

The original *The Flintstones* debuted as an ABC animated series produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions. It premiered in 1960 and ran for a total of six seasons.

The story was set in a fictional Stone Age. The main characters were Fred and Wilma Flintstone, their pet dinosaur Dino, and the family’s friends Barney and Betty Rubble.

In 1994, Universal released the feature film *The Flintstones*. Fred Flintstone was played by John Goodman, and Barney Rubble by Rick Moranis. Steven Spielberg served as the film’s executive producer.

The film grossed $340 million at the global box office. In 2000, the prequel *The Flintstones in Viva Rock Vegas* was released, though the actors from the first film did not reprise their roles.

In 2021, Fox also announced the development of “Bedrock,” an animated series sequel to “The Flintstones.” The plan was for it to follow the events after the original series, and Elizabeth Banks was invited to voice Pebbles—Fred and Wilma’s daughter. A few years later, it was reported that the project had been canceled.

Earlier, John Goodman revealed that Steven Spielberg personally cast him as Fred Flintstone. According to the actor, he wasn’t initially thrilled with the idea.

“At the time, it wasn’t what I wanted. He had invited me to be in a few movies, and then, when we sat down for the first time to read the script for *Always* in 1989, he made that announcement, which surprised me. No one asked me, but in the end, everything worked out,” Goodman recalled.
