Tim Burton Developing ‘Addams Family’ Series, 'Wednesday' Starring Jenna Ortega

[Breogan]

1 for 2 with the casting of Gomez & Morticia

Catherine Zeta Jones definitely fits the part

Luis Guzmán….ehhhh. The guy lacks a certain something that Raul Julia just permeated. I personally think Andy Garcia would have been a better choice

Agree "ehhh", he almost kills it for me.
What he lacks is he's not a very good actor with little presence, at least nothing I've seen him in, this'll be a weak Gomez.
Unfortunately they cast him more based on visual, going more for Addam's more pugnacious version. Not the more romanticized Julia or vaudevillian (Graucho(ish) John Astin (who was also crazy romantic), those guys had great presence and dominated their scenes, and Guzman aint got it.

Although truth is Gomez is supposed to be Castilian, so he really could be played by Banderas.
Bringing Banderas and Zeta Jones back together for this could have been insane fun!. I wonder if they even asked?

But Guzman is such a Tim Burton-esque actor I’m surprised they haven’t worked together until now.

Christopher Lloyd is another one! Cast him as Fester again lol

That is something I would LOVE to see again! Christopher Lloyd was the highlight of the two Adams Family movies

In this interview @3:35, Keaton states that he hasn't discussed his return as Batman with Tim Burton becasue they have had ''other stuff to talk about''. I wonder if Burton is looking for Keaton to play a supporting role in this show. Perhaps even a cameo of sorts?



Any ideas who he could play?

That would be pretty exciting!

Lionel Barker an old rival for Morticia's affection, sets Gomez off.
Although not sure he'd want it, but he can probably pull off Fester, and steal this franchise.

Give him some padding and a crap ton of powder and I can see Keaton as Uncle Fester.

I can see it!

Look no further than Beetlejuice to see that Keaton would be a fine choice for Fester.

Wow!

If Keaton now isn’t Fester, I’ll be disappointed.

Same!

I still want Deep Roy for Cousin Itt if he were to appear.

Wednesday’; Thora Birch, Riki Lindhome, Jamie McShane Among 10 Cast – Deadline

 

[DarkKnight88]

Is Burton directing all the episodes? I hope so. A series always feels more consistent that way and Burton is his own unique voice.

 

[Albright]

everyone could look like Fester, if they shave his head…the thing is: what can he do with his face muscles

Yeah, I believe he is directing all eight episodes!

So is Fester not in this?

I haven’t liked a Burton project in a while but between the premise and the cast, I’m definitely interested in this one . I really hope this isn’t a mess.
