Title: Tim Burton to relaunch Addams Family Post by: Joe the Destroyer on March 19, 2010, 07:20:36 AM http://www.joblo.com/tim-burton-directs-addams-family-for-universal
So, is he just reduced to adapted scripts now? Seems like that's all he ever does anymore. Title: Re: Tim Burton to relaunch Addams Family Post by: Chainsawmidget on March 19, 2010, 01:17:37 PM I don't think the Addams Family would work in anything other than live action. Part of the charm is seeing real people act in bizarre ways with weirdo props and such.

All the key players nailed their characters, plus the set and atmosphere were both very well done. I honestly think this next film will be as dull as the Addams Family Saturday morning cartoon that came after the movies. Title: Re: Tim Burton to relaunch Addams Family Post by: Mr. DS on March 19, 2010, 06:27:27 PM I've made it known on this board that I love the original Addams Family movies. They are loaded with tongue in cheek humor and as Joe stated, the first case worked.
Tim Burton would take it way too seriously and the wonderful humor the first two displayed will be shoved into the toliet. I have no doubt too he'll make it too dark which would in fact be odd for the Addams family. I'm quite sick of Tim Burton as you can tell.

I used to like Burton a lot, but I am getting sick of him too. I just wish he'd work with his own material rather than other source material (although he did do good with Batman).

And, surprise surprise, that's my favorite film of his in the past 15 years. Also, I have to agree. When it comes to an ensemble cast bringing life to characters from the page (a single panel comic, in this case), I don't think it was ever done better than the Addams Family. Great films. Raul Julia will always be Gomez. Title: Re: Tim Burton to relaunch Addams Family Post by: Joe the Destroyer on March 20, 2010, 05:14:24 AM Forgot about Corpse Bride. That actually was good.
Makes up for Planet of the Apes. :tongueout: Title: Re: Tim Burton to relaunch Addams Family Post by: Warp Ninja X on March 21, 2010, 11:56:28 PM Hey did you guys forgot he made the first two Addams Family movies. :bouncegiggle:
Title: Re: Tim Burton to relaunch Addams Family Post by: Joe the Destroyer on March 22, 2010, 12:25:10 AM Hey did you guys forgot he made the first two Addams Family movies. :bouncegiggle: I just checked the IMDb list. I don't see his name on either. I see a Barry Sonnenfield for a director, and a list of producers who aren't named Tim Burton. What's more is I don't remember him being involved. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0101272/fullcredits#writers http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0106220/fullcredits#cast Of course, I could have missed it. :teddyr: Title: Re: Tim Burton to relaunch Addams Family Post by: Warp Ninja X on March 22, 2010, 02:38:37 AM Well oops. But I thought I heard it was his work on that stupid Entertainment Tonight.
Title: Re: Tim Burton to relaunch Addams Family Post by: BoyScoutKevin on March 27, 2010, 04:50:17 PM Well, I'm not interested.
He is involved in a number of other film projects. Director/Producer/Writer "Frankenweenie" which would be a full length treatment of his previous short subject from 1984. Producer "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter" which I mentioned on another thread. And he is associated with a remake of the film "Dark Shadows" and a version of "Sleeping Beauty" called "Maleficent," which would deal with the fairy tale from the villainess' viewpoint. |
