'It’s something that lives within the Venn diagram of what happened before, but it’s its own thing,' co-creator Miles Millar says. 'It’s not trying to be the movies or the '60s TV show.'

“It’s something that lives within the Venn diagram of what happened before, but it’s its own thing,” he continues. “It’s not trying to be the movies or the ’60s TV show. That was very important to us and very important to Tim.”movie but passed — was considered “the Mount Everest of directors” for Millar and Gough. And to their shock, Burton was quick to express his initial interest in being involved with the show.

Just three days after he received the first episode’s script, the famed director had picked up the phone to call the duo. “He was interested in where it was going, the mystery of the show,” Gough told the magazine. “He had a lot of questions about the previous television work we’d done, like how we were able to achieve it. He really loved that you had time to be with Wednesday and explore the character and you didn’t have to, you know, wrap things up in an hour and 45 minutes.”

As part of the interview, the co-creators also teased the Addams Family’s various character looks, with one notable absence: Uncle Fester. His presence, Millar and Gough say, is still under wraps.

Isn't every Addams Family version its own thing lol. They are all reboots of the source.

Yessssssssss

Tim directed 4 episodes though.

Jesus, 2 hours of Burton is torture enough.

Oh come on, not again. The only thing you can call an 8-hour movie is literally a movie that lasts 8 hours. If it's not then it's a fucking 8-part TV show and that's FINE.

Yikes.

After his Dark Shadows an 8 hour TB movie sounds like hell.

An “Eight-Hour Tim Burton Movie” in 2022 sounds like hell.

It won't top Melissa Hunter's 'Adult Wednesday Addams' series they canned from YouTube.

I just hope it isn't another inversion of some lame political virtue signaling like Cowboy Be Bop and Heman.

Can we get a show from people who actually like TV instead?

Then make that for fucks sake

Yeah, no….

Oh god I’m so over these 8 hour movies. They should’ve made it a MOVIE then instead of a tedious slow show.

Loved The Worst Witch (1998) series! I wonder how Cackles Academy from that series will compare to Nevermore Academy from Wednesday

JosephWulfsohn Thanks for the warning.

Hmmm 🤔 8 hour Tim Burton movie you say? Hope that wasn’t said in the pitch meeting.

P*do bait

imagine if they made a show that was like itself

Huh? I’m good

Noice
