The Hollywood Reporter has revealed that Conrad Vernon (Sausage Party) has signed on to direct a CG-animated feature film adaptation of The Addams Family for MGM.
The new movie is based upon Charles Addams’ original cartoons in The New Yorker, and has been scripted by Pamela Pettler (Corpse Bride, Monster House).
The Addams Family revolves around the macabre family of Gomez, Morticia, Wednesday, Pugsley, Uncle Fester and Grandmama, who live with butler Lurch, and disembodied hand Thing.
Addams’ original cartoons spawned numerous adaptations, most notably the classic 1960s TV series, as well as the feature films The Addams Family (1991), Addams Family Values (1993) and Addams Family Reunion (1998).
