Should direct The Addams Family


If there is a remake, the only director I approved to direct it is Tim Burton.

I mean come on... I used to watch Addams Family as a kid and grown up thinking that this is one of Tim Burton movie.

Not sure what he could bring to it? Addams family already has a particular look, tone and style so what could Burton add that isn't already there?

The previous movies were good but sadly too different to the cartoons, but then so was the old tv show and i loved that.

A few years back it was reported a Stop-motion version was being planned, and Burton was linked to it.. but it was several films down the list of Tim's puppet projects. It'll probably never happen.

His movie like Beetlejuice, Edward Scissorhands, Sweeney Tood, etc... is the reason I though he could bring the vibe into Addams Family's movie.

Yeah but any director could make it and Addams already has a certain style.
I'm a big Addams fan and would love Tim to make a version, but he's Dark Shadows had a bit of that going on. I guess it's too similar to things he's already done before.. that's why the stop-motion version would be cool.

I also hope he directs a Munsters film. In a related note.
