It was bound to happen, yet if anybody was going to do it, I’m glad Burton has his hands on it. Deadline reports that Tim Burton has found his next project: a stop-motion animated movie based on the Addams Family. It will not be based on any previous adaptations such as the animated cartoon of the 60′s or the live action one, or any of the live action movies, so it acts as an introduction to the Addams for a whole new generation, which I can easily get behind.
Burton’s intentions are to go back to the source material which “displayed a sharper wit than could be place into a 60s family TV series.”
I’m really all for this. I’m a big fan of the Raul Julia/Anjelica Huston/Barry Sonnenfield flicks, though I finally got all the jokes later in life.
Let the casting rumors commence.

You know who would make an excellent Morticia?
Christina Ricci.

Hmm.. Well, despite the less-than-likable taste his take on ‘Alice in Wonderland’ left in my mouth, I am sure this may be a film that should be right up Burton’s alley. I only hope he still has what it takes, as AiW was a far cry from the sense of amazement and dark delight he was able to bring to previous projects.

I wonder if Johnny Depp will be involved. Do you think Johnny Depp will be in this movie? Maybe it’ll star Johnny Depp.
Also, Helena Bonham Carter as Morticia and Christina Ricci as Wednesday because Tim Burton has all kinds of SURPRISES that NO ONE CAN SEE COMING up his sleeve.

I just think this is more than exciting I have been a Adams Family fan since forever :>
I also think Johnny Depp will be an asset, he is really becoming popular figure on movies with a not so very Johnny Depp Look!
