The new official trailer for MGM’sThe Addams Familyis here! It’s an improvement over the first cringe-worthy trailer, but this is going to be a tough sell for certain folks. On the surface, it’s a story about a non-traditional family who are perfectly happy with the way things are but bump up against prejudice when they come into contact with the “normal” world. That sounds like a great premise for a kids movie that adults can also enjoy (and learn from, hopefully), but these early teases aren’t super promising.
The animation, at least, looks solid and the characters feel true to their original designs, as do the macabre gags that occupy their daily routines. This movie’s been in various stages of production since 2013 but will get to see the light this October, more than 80 years after the characters were originally created. Will it be worth the wait? Stay tuned to find out!
Based on characters created byCharles Addams, from a screenplay byMatt Lieberman(The Christmas Chronicles) andPamela Pettler(Corpse Bride, Monster House, 9),The Addams Familyis directed bySausage Party’sConrad VernonandGreg Tiernan.
