Fan Made Trailer Imagines “The Addams Family” as a Netflix Series
This is very fake. But we wish it was very real.
After spawning multiple movies and TV series’ both animated and live action, the Charles Addams-created Addams Family franchise has lay dormant for nearly 20 years now. We last got the chance to hang out with Gomez, Morticia and the gang back in 1998 thanks to direct-to-video film Addams Family Reunion, which saw Tim Curry take over the role of Gomez Addams.
In more recent years, a couple of Addams Family projects have come and gone: Tim Burton was at one point attached to potentially direct a stop-motion film, and in 2013 it was announced that an animated feature was in the works. Needless to say, the franchise is primed and ready for some sort of reboot – and it’s pretty clear that fans of the macabre family are hungry for it.
A faux trailer for Netflix’s “The Addams Family” hit the net over the weekend and quickly became a viral hit, already amassing nearly 5-million views in just a few days. The trailer, which we again must remind you is completely 100% fake (Netflix, to our knowledge, has no plans to acquire or do anything with The Addams Family), presents a rebooted series we’d love to watch.
In this must-watch fan pitch, Oscar Isaac and Eva Green star as Gomez and Morticia Addams. Just as inspired, Michael Shannon plays the role of Lurch. Check it out below!
Are you watching? Ishana Night Shyamalan has clearly been paying attention to her father, M. Night Shyamalan. Not only is she following in his footsteps as a filmmaker, but she’s also embracing a similar mystique surrounding her work.
The new trailer for her feature directorial debut, The Watchers, gives viewers a taste of what’s in store. AreYouWatching.com has launched with even more clues.
Visit the site to join the mysterious creatures that lurk in the Irish forest as you observe a shelter. From the time the sun sets at 7:30 PM until it rises at 5:55 AM, four strangers — played by Dakota Fanning, Georgina Campbell, Oliver Finnegan, and Olwen Fouere — can be seen trapped inside.
You’ll find several interactive items. Click on the gramophone to set the mood with some spooky music. Tap on the birdcage to hear an ominous message from the parrot inside: “I’m going out, try not to die.” Press on the TV to watch clips from a fake reality show called Lair of Love. And if you tap on the window during the daytime … they’ll tap back.
There are also Easter eggs hidden at specific times. We’ve discovered three: a disorienting shot of Fanning’s character’s car at 5:52 PM, a closer view of the captives at 11:11 PM, and a glimpse of monitors at 12:46 AM. Let us know if you find any more in the comments…
The Watchers opens in theaters on June 14 via New Line Cinema. Ishana Night Shyamalan writes and directs, based on the 2022 novel of the same name by A.M. Shine. M. Night Shyamalan produces.
