Fan casting became reality when it was announced last year that Oscar Isaac was in talks to voice Gomez Addams in Sausage Party director Conrad Vernon‘s animated Addams Family film for MGM, and that casting has since been confirmed. Today, the entire core voice cast was announced, and it’s pretty fantastic all around.
Charlize Theron will voice Morticia Addams, with Chloe Grace Moretz as Wednesday Addams. The cast also includes Finn Wolfhard as Pugsley Addams, Nick Kroll as Uncle Fester, Bette Midler as Grandmama, and Allison Janney as Margaux Needler.
The film follows the family as they face-off against a crafty reality TV host (Janney) while also preparing for their extended family to arrive for a major celebration.
Moretz got her start by starring in Platinum Dunes’ The Amityville Horror remake alongside Ryan Reynolds, and also starred in the Carrie and Let Me In remakes. Wolfhard broke out in Netflix’s “Stranger Things” and even more so in New Line’s IT. He can also be seen in Amblin’s The Turning. Theron’s horror history dates back to the Keanu Reeves-starring The Devil’s Advocate.
Pamela Pettler (Corpse Bride) wrote the script, with revisions by Matt Lieberman. Vernon will produce with Gail Berman and Alex Schwartz, principals of production house the Jackal Group. Andrew Mittman and Kevin Miserocchi will exec produce. Deadline first reported the news.
The film has been dated for release on October 11, 2019.
A job at a marijuana farm turns nightmarish in director Ariel Vida’s Trim Season, and Blue Harbor Entertainment has released the trailer just in time for 4/20 this weekend.
Trim Season will open in theaters and on demand June 7, 2024.
Directed by award-winning filmmaker and production designer Ariel Vida, Trim Season stars Bethlehem Million (Sick, “And Just Like That…”) as Emma, an adrift, jobless, 20-something seeking purpose. Along with a group of young people from Los Angeles, she drives up the coast to make quick cash trimming marijuana on a secluded farm in Northern California.
“Cut off from the rest of the world, they soon realize that Mona (Jane Badler) – the seemingly amiable owner of the estate – is harboring secrets darker than any of them could imagine. It becomes a race against time for Emma and her friends to escape the dense woods with their lives.”
The cast also includes “Scream” and Hell Fest‘s Bex Taylor-Klaus, Starry Eyes, “Midnight Mass” and Doctor Sleep‘s Alex Essoe, Ally Ioannides (Synchronic), Cory Hart (“Fear the Walking Dead”), Ryan Donowho, Marc Senter and Juliette Kenn De Balinthazy.
Michelle Swope wrote in her review that Trim Season is “a suspenseful, uniquely crafted story highlighting pain and sacrifice that should spark some powerful conversation around women and gender. Mesmerizing performances, an innovative story, beautiful stylistic choices, and a little bit of witchy weed make Trim Season a must-see horror film.”
Aaron B. Koontz of Paper Street Pictures and Sean E. DeMott of Execution Style Entertainment produced. Paul Holbrook of Hlbrk Ent. produces in addition to Badler on behalf of MeJane Productions. Leal Naim executive produces while Cameron Burns co-produces.
