Tim Burton Making The Addams Family?

While there may be mixed feelings about Burton continuing to stick with adaptations of other peoples’ work rather than pursuing his own visions, the idea that he’ll dig into the sharp wit of Addams’ Gomez, Morticia, Wednesday and the rest sounds like a solid idea. Plus, with the focus on the original cartoons rather than the campier TV show or the Barry Sonnenfeld movies (though I still have a soft spot for the first film), it should be a dark little delight.
There’s no writer attached yet, so this one is a while from starting, and chances are he’ll knock out at least one live-action film (Dark Shadows, finally?) before the doors to the Addams’ home swing open and we’re met by Lurch the towering, groaning manservant.
So now all we need to know is, will Burton strike out in a completely new direction for the lead voices, or will he hire Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter?

If I had to pick someone to do a remake of the Addams Family, I would pick Tim Burton and especially if it's going to be a stop-motion animation. And as much as I love the actors in his films (Johnny Deep, Helena Bonham Carter, Alan Rickman), I would really like to see/hear someone else for a change.

Even tho he does need to "pursue his own visions" no doubt in my mind a Tim Burton remake of this movie will smash the box offices as usual.

oh... Fuck.
NO! PLEASE! Your "goth" films come off as you're trying too fucking hard, Tim.
Being dark comes naturally... if you're trying.. you shouldn't be doing... This.
Now you're going to shit on Raul Julias most recognizable and lovable role?
Can you PLEASE stop fucking with my childhood, Hollywood?(Yes, Tim Burton.. You are part of Hollywood, even though your films try to tell us you're not) The originals were great. Just remaster them,.. Don't turn it into a festering pile of faux goth shit that his films always end up being.
Man this shit needs to stop.. SOMEONE STOP HIM... PLEASE!

he should do it in stop motion like the nightmare before Christmas. 3d can take you out of a film if its not done well... i thought the 3d could have been better in alice in wonderland so he should do it right or not at all.

Great Tim Burtton is basicly the goth jerry bruikheimer. Everything is gotta be 3-d. I remember when you used to be fun Tim, now you're just a cash cow.

I'm mixed about this, It would be awsome to see another thing of Burtons work, but why doesn't he make another one of his OWN creations? Instead of remaking old ones...

Tim tries TOO HARD to be "dark" or "goth", and he comes off as a poser... being dark and goth should come naturally.
All atmosphere. No story. No Heart.
Remakes are a nice way of saying "I have no ideas or talent of my own, let's look to others for ideas and or talent." These are talentless hack moves, Timmy. You can't top the classics... so please stop trying.

i havent seen alice in wonderland, and dont plan on seeing it.
I'll be suprised if johnny and helena are not the parents in this, but hey i'm not one to knock someone before they've even tried, let's just wait and see, but seriously, tim needs to go back to making films like edward scissorhands an beetlejuice! now they are classics! - 1 year ago

Hey,........its the Adams Family,....this isn't Hamlet to begin with. All it requires is artistic "mood". I'm sure he can manage to pull it off as well as the series or the previous movies.

It will be Helena Bonham Carter and Johnny Depp again, people will call it "dark" and in reality it will probably be terrible.

Sounds like another cop out. Great.
I used to love you, Tim. Deeply and truly. Why do you have to go and break my heart like that?
