First Look at Animated Addams Family Movie; Cast and Synopsis Revealed

Greg Tiernan and Conrad Vernon were the guys who brought us Sausage Party, and now their next project has them making an animated Addams Family movie. Thanks to MGM (via ScreenRant), we have a first look, synopsis, as well as a cast list.

The cast includes Chloe Grace Moretz as Wednesday with Stranger Things' Finn Wolfhard playing Pugsly. Charlize Theron will be playing Morticia Addams with Oscar Isaac as her husband Gomez. Bette Midler will provice the voice of Grandmama and Nick Kroll will be Uncle Fester.

The villain is also said to be a character named Margaux Needler played by Allison Janney.

Here are the official character descriptions:

Based on the famous New Yorker creations of Charles Addams, this animated action-comedy will follow the Addams family whose lives begin to unravel when they face-off against a crafty reality-TV host while also preparing for their extended family to arrive for a major celebration, Addams-style.

Morticia, devilishly devoted to her husband and children, is the pale glue that holds her clan together. Gomez, debonair, sinister and passionately in love with his wife, is enthusiastic about whatever dreadful scheme he's cooked up. Wednesday is a brilliant and sinister teenage girl with long braids and dead-pan wit. Pugsley, a menacing 10 year old on over-drive, enjoys getting into any kind of dreadful mischief he can find. Mad Uncle Fester is good natured, merry and likes to create mayhem any way he can. Grandmama is smitten with her grandchildren who enjoy her cookies shaped like bats and skulls. Margaux Needler, the reality TV makeover queen, is consumed with a desire for absolute suburban, pastel perfection.

You can actually notice some influence from the original cartoons, but the style here looks a tad more gothic. You could even say that it was Tim Burton directing this thing.

No release date has been set for The Addams Family yet, but the movie could come out in 2019.
