Well, well, well. Looks like there's going to be a new production of 'The Addams Family' by famous director, Tim Burton. Here is an article by Mike Gold on his thoughts about the new production of the Addams Family that is soon to be made. What are your thoughts?
Tim Burton To Tackle Charles Addams?
But with a twist. This adaptation will be based upon Charles Addams’s misanthropic cartoons in the New Yorker magazine and not in the spirit of the teevee series. Woo-Hoo!
According to Deadline Hollywood, it isn’t a done deal and Burton and pal Johnny Depp are preparing their version of Dark Shadows. One wouldn’t want Burton to get typecast, right?
Either way, Universal Studios paid for the rights and it’s possible the movie might actually get made. If it winds up being a Burton-less adaptation of the musical I wouldn’t be surprised, although neither Nathan Lane nor Bebe Neuwirth are known as big box office. No matter what, as long as they get the theme song in, I’ll be happy.
