Kooky and Ooky New Trailer for THE ADDAMS FAMILY
I’ve always enjoyed The Addams Family, and they’ve got a new animated film coming out later this year that looks like fun. MGM has released a new trailer for The Addams Family, that offers up a lot of amusing new footage and gives us our best look yet at the movie.
The film has an all-star cast that includes Oscar Isaac as Gomez, Charlize Theron as Morticia, Chloe Grace Moretz as Wednesday, Finn Wolfhard as Pugsley, Elsie Fisher as Parker Needler, Nick Kroll as Uncle Fester, Bette Midler as the grandmother, and Allison Janney as nemesis Margaux Needler.
Here’s the synopsis:
Based on the famous New Yorker creations of Charles Addams, this animated action-comedy will follow the Addams family whose lives begin to unravel when they face-off against a crafty reality-TV host while also preparing for their extended family to arrive for a major celebration, Addams-style.
Morticia, devilishly devoted to her husband and children, is the pale glue that holds her clan together. Gomez, debonair, sinister and passionately in love with his wife, is enthusiastic about whatever dreadful scheme he’s cooked up. Wednesday is a brilliant and sinister teenage girl with long braids and dead-pan wit. Pugsley, a menacing 10 year old on over-drive, enjoys getting into any kind of dreadful mischief he can find. Mad Uncle Fester is good natured, merry and likes to create mayhem any way he can. Grandmama is smitten with her grandchildren who enjoy her cookies shaped like bats and skulls. Margaux Needler, the reality TV makeover queen, is consumed with a desire for absolute suburban, pastel perfection.
The movie is being directed by Conrad Vernon (Shrek 2, Monsters vs. Aliens, Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted) and Greg Tiernan (Thomas & Friends, Day of the Diesels) from a script written by Matt Lieberman.
The movie will be released on October 18th, 2019.
