Would have preferred an animated version.

I can't believe you of all people spelled Tim Burton's name wrong, Zar. :lol:

Cautiously optimistic.

Very cautiously optimistic.

I liked Into the Badlands.

I know Burton had nothing to do with those movies but... how cool would it be if she was played by Ricci?

Tim BERTon...

..Ah dangit that's not it either!

I don't know, Tim Burton could go a little too much his style and lose the fun that the live action Addams Family movies had, that was the best interpretation of Wednesday we've ever had and overall of the Addams Family as well.

How was the CG movie? I thought the 90s live action Addams Family show was good the Direct to movie video? Not so much but I think It's hard to mess up the addams family The third movie and show both had the same Wednesday and she was no Christina Ricci but she was still entertaining.

So an adult Wednesday? Isn't what makes her fun that she's a little girl? Wouldn't she just be Morticia then? Perhaps better to have her as that character instead? She tweeted this like a year ago:

I want to do All The Sex to Christina Ricci. Just f*cking all of it.

I was gonna say the same thing, but figured it was too long a shot.

Would sure make my fucking day, though, I tell you what. :tlol:

Yeah, adult Wednesday. Like older, the new matriarch of the Addams Family. Gomez and Morticia are dead or super old but otherwise not in the picture anymore.

I don't think an adult Wednesday would just be another Morticia - they're very different characters. Some good suggestions here, so much so that I'll probably be disappointed if this doesn't involve Christina Ricci.

Still, Tim Burton and the Smallville guys possibly do a Cobra Kai on The Addams Family...? Could be all right...

For the record, I typed Birton above, and quickly corrected it. It seems to be a name very much subject to ytpos.

Typos.

"Tim Burton" + "The Smallville Guys" = "Me Running As Fast and As Far As Possible In The Opposite Direction". Doesn't matter what the project is. :lol:

That's just way too many guys in one room who never heard the word "No" and really should have a lot more often.

It's true. Both Burton and the Smallville guys could only work independently of one another if there was an opposing force to tell them "no" when they say crazy things they want to do. Together now? Yeesh. Just yeesh.

Gothic girls are cute. I will observe this series with some interest.

Also, who is Tim Burtin? Shouldn't it be Tom Burtin?:P

Isn't it supposed to be set around her school? Oldest she'll get is late teens in that case. I guess if they wanted a familiar face they could always offer a part to a former actor though.

I'm interested enough to take a look at least.

Luis Guzman to play Gomez.

Probably rules out it being some kind of distant sequel with an older Wednesday.

This is the first I've seen of this thread. Loved the reboot film from High School - wouldn't mind sitting through it now.

Christina Ricci? YES. To anything she wants. YES. Goddess. GOD. S.

Apparently, Catherine Zeta-Jones will play Morticia, no link attached to the tweet from the Fandom page but I searched and saw various news articles come up confirming.

Remember when Saban made an Addams Family show? It actually ran one episode longer than the original.

Thora Birch has pulled out of Wednesday due to a family emergency, and will not be returning to the show as series regular Tamara Novak, the role itself will not be recast. She completed work on the majority of her scenes before departing

So Christina Ricci IS in it:

I don't know how to get these to show properly, but here is a new teaser.

Here it is on Youtube.

Now we know who's gonna be a cosplay hotness during Halloween season, lol.

Just saw the first episode. It's pretty good. I'll watch the rest.

Watched the first 3 eps last night, pretty decent so far.

Think I've gotten through the first 4 eps, I like it so far, sat guessing who the good and bad people will turn out to be.

I like the casting, couldn't quite get with Gomez but that might just be me, early days yet.

I've only watched the first one, again, but right away I'm left assuming it's the guy who saved her. As in, he'll be who turns out to be the monster.

It's mostly the specter of Raul Julia. That's the gold standard to me. I don't care about the old animated stuff or whatever. Though what's there is fine. Gomez isn't really in it much.

Minor gripe: why put stitches all over Thing now? If he's organic, wouldn't it just heal and they'd come out?

I guess they just thought he would look cool.

There's about 5 characters that I think are shify, or they want us to think they are.. the actual monster could be one of 3 that I am thinking of.

Ehhh... I've had a few guesses, even potentially the coffee guy secretly being one of them, but currently leaning toward the one that can shapeshift. (Though I'll skip saying who for spoiler sake because I don't recall what ep that ability was revealed.)

Haha, I've been referring to him as the coffee guy too, it's staying even though I now know his name. Anyway yeah, he's one of my suspects, putting his dad in a difficult spot. Shapeshifter too for obvious reasons, not sure if she will turn out to be good or bad, like we are supposed to think she is bad.

Other out there guess

This show looks great, but we won't get to it here until we are done with 1899.....

Midway through ep 4 (started watching quite late and had to stop before falling asleep) and waiting for the turn of events with her. She started off as this very proper lady and all that, nothing seeming too special about her, but we learn early that she'd been a student, so what all she is and can do is being kept rather quiet other than that brief hint at this point. If she doesn't have some big reveal I'll be a little disappointed. lol

"Men like you don't have to worry about not being believed," "werewolf conversion therapy," eh... a certain meter is running a bit high 5 episodes in.

Finished it out. That was pretty great, overall. And that was an awesome season finale... except for like the last TWO minutes. That final two minutes undermined a lot of the excellent rest of the episode.

Also,

Not seeing or reading anything about this til now, and this is what I thought the show was going to be about... Ricci as an adult Wednesday. Missed opportunity for sure. Lol. I'm going to watch this today.

That is actually what I thought as well - and I was pretty interested in that. But still it looks entertaining enough - like "Harry Potter" but for emo kids.
