Tim Burton to direct 3D version of The Addams Family

Alice In Wonderland director Tim Burton’s next project is to direct a 3D version of The Addams Family, according to reports.

The legendary film-maker will direct a stop-motion animated flick based on the original drawings of Charles Addams about the gothic family.

According to Deadline, Illumination Entertainment has got the rights to the Addams drawings.

It is claimed the new movie will be unrelated to previous adaptations, such as the TV series in the 60s as well as the two 90s movies starring Angelica Huston and Raul Julia.

Chris Meledandri from Illumination will produce and Kevin Miserocchi from the Tee and Charles Addams Foundation will be the executive producer.

Burton’s last animated movie was Corpse Bride but his most well-known was The Nightmare Before Christmas.
