Da da da dum! Snap! Tim Burton doing 3-D Addams Family!

Given their similarly dark gothic sensibilities, it's surprising that director Tim Burton hasn't had much to do with the weird world of Charles Addams before, but that may soon change: The guy behind the hit Alice in Wonderland is reportedly making a new 3-D stop-motion-animated version of The Addams Family.

That's the news on Deadline Hollywood. And the good news is that Burton's film may go back to Addams' original cartoons and not rely on the beloved 1960s TV series or Barry Sonnenfeld's 1990s movies:

Illumination Entertainment, the Universal-based family film unit headed by Chris Meledandri, has acquired the underlying rights of the Addams drawings, once a staple of The New Yorker magazine.
Other than being inspired by the same source material, the animated feature is unrelated to previous incarnations of Addams' work, the 60s TV series, the two `90s feature film comedies that Barry Sonnenfeld directed with Raul Julia and Anjelica Huston, or the Broadway musical opening this spring with Nathan Lane and Bebe Neuwirth in the starring roles. ...

His intention is to go back to the litany of Addams illustrations that displayed a sharper wit than could be place into a 60s family TV series.


Burton is no stranger to stop-motion animation, as illustrated by his Corpse Bride and Henry Selick's The Nightmare Before Christmas, which Burton produced.

Maybe we'll finally get a taste of the real misanthropic ghoulishness of Addams' original cartoons! Who's with us?

MTV spoke with Burton's reps, who advised them: "There is no truth to the story. Tim has not lined up any of his upcoming projects."
I find this to be odd. Even the local news reported he was gonna be doing a 3D stop-motion Addams Family film...

Well if it does come to pass, I'll be there day one. I LOVE me some Addams Family.

Tim Burton's imagination has run dried. He should just stop now or just pay someone else to do it for him.

I liked the Adam's Family and I don't want Tim to touch it.

Pass.

Burton is an idiot.

No. Bad. Bad Tim Burton. Go sit in the corner and think about what you've done.

Indeed. Though to roll with it, I'll say my money's on Gomez. After watching Ed Wood it's almost a given.

Either him or Wednesday.

The Deadman 03-21-2010 01:11 AM

ThirdMarioBro 03-21-2010 03:07 AM
This is a perfect match. I couldn't be happier.

Hell, he can just pull a Eddie Murphy and play ALL the characters.

What happened to remakes ruining your childhood and the originality being dead in hollywood?

ThirdMarioBro 03-22-2010 04:26 AM
If this were a live action movie then I might agree. This is supposed to be based off the original comic strips so its a fresh take. Plus, Burton is a god.

...and I'm an Addams Family fanboy.

A god? No, he's just some asshole that knows he can make bank on releasing what is essentially the same ****ing movies over and over again.

Some Pale white characters trying to find their place in the world.

Batman, Batman Returns, Edward Scissorhands, Nightmare before Christmas, Corpse Bride, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Alice, Sweeney Todd, etc, etc, etc

He knows stupid ****ing people will pay every time. No one will challenge him to make something different.

His best movies are stuff like Ed Wood, or even Big Fish. Movies that didnt look like rehashed twisty trees, or swirly spiral things that look really good on all the shirts they're planning to sell at Hot Topic.


Also, are people forgetting the last time he did a "remake"? Planet of the Apes?
