#TRAILERCHEST: The new Addams Family is exactly as darkly funny as we’d hoped

“Don’t forget to kick your father goodnight.”

Welcome to #TrailerChest, where we’re taking a sneak peek at the brand new trailer for The Addams Family.

Plot’s it all about?

For a certain generation, the idea of anyone attempting to improve upon the impossibly brilliant Addams Family movie from 1991, and the (whisper it) even better sequel Addams Family Values from 1993 is pretty much sacrilegious.

However, if you are going to remake it, then this is definitely the cast you want to be involved! Charlize Theron and Oscar Isaac are spot-on choices for Morticia and Gomez, while behind the camera, we’ve got the guys who directed the naughty-beyond-compare Sausage Party.

There isn’t much known about the plot yet, and the trailer seems to indicate that it will involve the family moving into their new very-much-haunted home, but any excuse to spend more time with this family is good enough for us!

Plus it arrives just in time for Halloween! Perfect!

Starring: Charlize Theron, Oscar Isaac, Chloe Grace Moretz, Bette Midler, Nick Kroll

Directed by: Greg Tiernan and Conrad Vernon

Irish release date: 25 October

Enjoy!
