Tim Burton
is going to keep his love for stop-motion animation
and going...
Coming off the success of
Alice in Wonderland for
Disney, he's aligning himself with Universal's Illumination Entertainment and producer Chris Meledandri to resurrect
The Addams Family.
The goal is to create a stop-motion
animated film in 3D, similar to what Burton is doing with
Frankenweenie right now. A writer for
The Addams Family is currently being sought (the rights were recently purchased so the deal is still fresh) and, according to
Deadline, it will hold no relation to the television series or the two feature films starring Raul Julia and Anjelica Huston.
Burton will provide the visual palette for the picture which will invoke creator Charles Addams' original drawings. The director is also developing
Dark Shadows with
Johnny Depp.
