I guess everything gets remade eventually, and that includes The Addams Family.
First, it was a TV show that aired in the 1960s, before hitting the big screen in 1991, and now we’re due a reboot starring none other than Charlize Theron.
She’s not the only big name signed up, because the movie also features the likes of Oscar Isaac, Chloë Grace Moretz, Nick Kroll, Snoop Dogg, and Bette Midler.
In the latest animated iteration, the goth family find themselves in New Jersey. Over to The Verge:
The movie, which is a reboot of the franchise, follows the Addams family as they attempt to be their unique selves in a place where everyone wants them to either assimilate (there’s a joke about this in the trailer) or leave. They’re perfectly happy continuing to live their best creepy lives in their house of actual horrors, but the residents of this New Jersey town aren’t here for it.
It’s the first time that the Addams Family has been animated for a feature film, but many of the kooky quirks that made people fall in love with the original show seem to be represented. Wednesday Addams is still wreaking havoc by bringing a bunch of dead frogs back to life during science class, and Pugsley is still the goofy younger brother.
There are some modern touches and cultural references, so maybe there’s something for fans new and old.
Trailer time:
This one hits cinemas on October 11.
