The Addams Family

3/18/10 - Director Tim Burton is reportedly making a new 3-D stop-motion-animated version of The Addams Family, according to Deadline Hollywood.  Illumination Entertainment, the Universal-based family film unit headed by Chris Meledandri, has acquired the underlying rights of the Addams drawings.  Other than being inspired by the same source material, the animated feature is unrelated to previous incarnations of Addams' work, the 60s TV series, the two `90s feature film comedies.  His intention is to go back to the litany of Addams illustrations that displayed a sharper wit than could be place into a 60s family TV series.
