Directors Michael Jelenic and Aaron Horvath are currently writing the movie. Notably, they both directed the successful Super Mario Bros Movie – which became the highest-grossing film on Rotten Tomatoes.
No casting announcements or storyline information has been revealed as of yet.
And this film won’t be the only new addition to the Flintstones franchise. A show under the name Bedrock has also been greenlit. The comedy series has already been given a star-studded cast – including Elizabeth Banks and Nicole Byer.
At the time of writing, the release date information remains unknown. The current writer’s strike may affect the development of both.
Based on The Super Mario Bros Movie’s success, the Flintstones film’s expectations are definitely high.
