A hit Hanna-Barbera cartoon, which spawned two ropey live action films, the legacy of The Flintstones is set to continue with a new animated feature to be exec produced by Will Ferrell and Adam McKay.

The project, following the ‘Modern stone age family’ is being developed by Warner Bros with a script etched by Chris Henchy (who co-wrote Ferrell and Zack Galifianakis comedy The Campaign ).

No word yet on whether Ferrell will voice grumpy quarry worker Fred Flintstone, though it would seem like an obvious choice.

  • Scooby-Doo the series/Scooby-Doo: The Movie Scooby-Doo star Matthew Lillard chimes in with thoughts on Netflix’s live-action show

If it was up to us we’d have Christina Hendricks as his wife Wilma and Owen Wilson as his best friend Barney Rubble....

Hanna-Barbera are responsible for Yogi Bear , Top Cat and The Smurfs , each relatively recently given its own terrible movie spin-off. Let’s hope Ferrell and McKay can smash the trend.

Stay classy, Bedrock…
