There are rumors that Oscar Isaac has been chosen to provide the voice for Gomez Addams on the upcoming movie about the Addams Family. For people who have been paying close attention, this should come as welcome news, seeing as how Isaac has been a fan favorite for the role because of his resemblance to the character. Of course, it helped that Isaac possesses plenty of charm, as shown by how he wowed the people behind the new Star Wars movies so much that his character survived the scene in The Force Awakens that was supposed to kill him. Regardless, while it is still much too soon to celebrate this particular casting based on unconfirmed rumors, it is nonetheless encouraging, seeing as how the Addams Family are characterized to a significant extent by how their eccentricities are paired with their likable nature.
What Else Do We Know About The Addams Family Reboot?
It has been a long time since the last movie about the Addams Family came out. In fact, the last such movie came out in 1998, though it has no relation to the more famous Addams Family movies whatsoever. Instead, the 1998 movie Addams Family Reunion was made by Warner Bros. rather than Paramount Pictures, having been conceived as a full-length pilot for a new TV show. For that matter, it should be noted that Addams Family Reunion didn’t get much attention from interested individuals, seeing as how it was released direct to video. Besides this particular movie, there was a collaboration between Illumination Entertainment and Universal Pictures to make a stop-motion animated movie with Tim Burton in charge, but that project went nowhere, with the result that it was cancelled in 2013. Summed up, it has been a long, long time since the last good Addams Family movie came out, meaning that the new animated Addams Family movie is due.
For those who are curious, the new animated Addams Family movie is called The Addams Family. It is been made by Cinesite Studios for MGM. Conrad Vernon was the one chosen to direct the movie, which will be in addition to his role as a producer along with both Alex Schwartz and Gail Berman. Meanwhile, Pamela Pettler is the one writing the script, while Matt Lieberman is contributing as well by making revisions to the resulting script. Finally, it should be noted that Tabitha Shick is overseeing the movie for MGM as it is being made by Cinesite Studios.
Further Considerations
It remains to be seen whether Oscar Isaac will be the one chosen to voice Gomez Addams in the end or not. However, the fact that the production for the movie has reached this point should be considered exciting news, seeing as how the Addams family have been one of the most iconic families on the U.S. TV screen for decades and decades. As a result, their long absence is a real shame, but fortunately, one that seems likely to be rectified in the not so distant future.
