Meet ‘The Addams Family’ in the First Creepy and Kooky Trailer
This Halloween season will be creepy, kooky, mysterious and spooky when MGM visits the door of The Addams Family. The Conrad Vernon and Greg Tiernan-directed animated film will deliver tricks and treats on October 11th, and today we get the first trailer.
The new incarnation introduces Charlize Theron as the voice of Morticia Addams, with Oscar Isaac voicing Gomez Addams, and Chloe Grace Moretz as Wednesday Addams. The cast also includes Finn Wolfhard as Pugsley Addams, Nick Kroll as Uncle Fester, Bette Midler as Grandma, Allison Janney as Margaux Needler, and Elsie Fisher as Parker Needler, the daughter of Margaux.
The Addams Family is your average American family…only different. The first teaser trailer doesn’t offer any of the film’s actual plot (it follows the family as they face off against a crafty reality TV host), but it does a great job of introducing us to the iconic characters. The tone is right in line with the previous art, show, and films, and even delivers a handful of quality jokes, like a great homage to Pennywise and his infamous red balloon. What do you think?
Filming is underway on The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man for Universal and Blumhouse, which will be howling its way into theaters on January 17, 2025.
Deadline reports that Matilda Firth (Disenchanted) is the latest actor to sign on, joining Christopher Abbott (Poor Things), Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel), and Sam Jaeger.
The project will mark Whannell’s second monster movie and fourth directing collaboration with Blumhouse Productions (The Invisible Man, Upgrade, Insidious: Chapter 3).
Wolf Man stars Christopher Abbott as a man whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator.
Writers include Whannell & Corbett Tuck as well as Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo.
Jason Blum is producing the film. Ryan Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner and Whannell are executive producers. Wolf Man is a Blumhouse and Motel Movies production.
In the wake of the failed Dark Universe, Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man has been the only real success story for the Universal Monsters brand, which has been struggling with recent box office flops including the comedic Renfield and period horror movie The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Giving him the keys to the castle once more seems like a wise idea, to say the least.
