Would have preferred an animated version.

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

*Powder* · 02-17-2021, 03:17 PM

Cautiously optimistic.

*CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy* · 02-17-2021, 03:21 PM

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?

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.

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.

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?

*newfan* · 02-18-2021, 02:01 AM

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.

*Andrew NDB* · 08-06-2021, 06:09 PM

Luis Guzman to play Gomez.

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

*IMJ* · 08-06-2021, 07:46 PM

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.

*newfan* · 08-09-2021, 04:38 PM

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.

*ZariusTwo* · 10-17-2021, 03:23 PM

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