Ryan Gosling Revives The Flintstones With Bamm-Bamm Movie

Ryan Gosling starred in the sci-fi hit Project Hail Mary earlier this year. In 2027, he will appear in Star Wars: Starfighter. He is also set to make his MCU debut as Ghost Rider in 2028, reuniting with Starfighter director Shawn Levy.

Gosling has another project in the works: a live-action reboot of The Flintstones centered on a grown-up Bamm-Bamm.

Gosling’s production company, Open Invite, and Warner Bros. are developing the film, according to Deadline. Gosling and his Open Invite partner Jessie Henderson are looking for a writer.

Later this year, Open Invite will premiere the romantic drama Love of Your Life at the Toronto International Film Festival. The cast includes Margaret Qualley of The Dog Stars, Aaron Pierre of Lanterns, and Patrick Schwarzenegger of The White Lotus.

Who is Bamm-Bamm?

Bamm-Bamm first appeared as a baby in the original 1960s Hanna-Barbera cartoon, as the son of Barney and Betty Rubble. In the 1970s, he appeared as a teenager in The Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm Show, where he started a band with Pebbles. He also appeared in the 1994 live-action Flintstones movie.

The new film is in early development, and there is no news yet about its story or who might play Bamm-Bamm. It is also unclear whether Gosling will be involved beyond his role as a producer. He previously played Ken in Greta Gerwig’s Barbie, Warner Bros.’ highest-grossing film. A Barbie sequel is also a possibility.
