Jenna Ortega Is Your Principal’s Worst Nightmare in New Wednesday Teaser: Watch
One look at Jenna Ortega in pigtail braids, and Wednesday might be your new favorite day of the week. The most misanthropic member of the Addams Family is the central character in the upcoming Netflix series Wednesday, and it’s time to follow her to school in today’s new teaser trailer. Not that this is much of a surprise, but Wednesday (Ortega) has had a hard time making friends at her run-of-the-mill public high school. But that won’t stop her from going to great lengths to defend her family: “The only person who gets to torture my brother is me,” she tells a crew of churlish swim team boys mid-practice, before pouring a bunch of bloodthirsty piranhas into their pool. It’s not long before Wednesday is inevitably expelled (again), so, her parents Morticia and Gomez (Catherine Zeta-Jo...
Tim Burton on Batman: “You Put Nipples on the Costume? Go Fuck Yourself”
Tim Burton directed Batman (1990) and Batman Returns (1992) before exiting the franchise over disagreements with Warner Bros. about tone. In a new interview with Empire, he said that his reaction upon seeing the next installment, Batman Forever (1995), was, “You put nipples on the costume? Go fuck yourself.” The conversation came as part of a broader reckoning with the twists and turns of the Batman films, which in recent years have trended darker. It’s something Burton had always wanted, he said. “It is funny to see this now, because all these memories come back of, ‘It’s too dark,’ So, it makes me laugh a little bit.” As he explained, “[Back then] they went the other way. That’s the funny thing about it. But then I was like, ‘Wait a minute. Ok...
Christina Ricci Joins Netflix’s Wednesday Series in Return to Addams Family
Addams Family fans can rest easy knowing Christina Ricci has rejoined the franchise as a series regular in Wednesday, Tim Burton’s upcoming Netflix live-action show. The streaming giant made the announcement on Monday, revealing that Ricci will portray “an exciting new character.” Ricci is the actress most closely associated with playing Wednesday, the only daughter of Gomez and Morticia Addams. In the early 1990s, she portrayed the character in a pair of movies directed by Barry Sonnenfeld, The Addams Family and Addams Family Values. When the Netflix series was announced, some fans even launched a petition for Ricci to be cast as an older version of Wednesday. However, Deadline has confirmed Ricci will be playing an entirely new character rather revisiting her previous...

Luis Guzmán Joins Tim Burton’s Wednesday Addams Series as Gomez
Cara mia! Tim Burton’s live-action Addams Family series has found its ghoulish patriarch. As Deadline notes, Luis Guzmán is set to portray Gomez Addams on the upcoming Netflix show. Titled Wednesday, the streamer’s eight-episode adaptation will star Jenna Ortega as the eponymous Wednesday Addams, and center around the family’s iconically deadpan daughter as she attends the frightful and mysterious Nevermore Academy. While there, the show promises to be part comedy, part mystery, as Wednesday “attempts to master her emerging psychic ability, thwart a monstrous killing spree that has terrorized the local town, and solve the supernatural mystery that embroiled her parents 25 years ago — all while navigating her new and very tangled relationships.” The rest of the macabre family and Wedne...
What’s Streaming on Disney+ in March 2021
Disney+ is bringing back a few familiar faces in March. With WandaVision wrapping up, Marvel Studios will pivot to their next highly anticipated spinoff series The Falcon and The Winter Soldier. As the title suggests, Anthony Mackie and Sebastian Stan return as — you guessed it — The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. Right behind those Marvel heroes is everyone’s favorite hockey coach Gordon Bombay. Yes, Emilio Estevez will return to the ice with The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers, which should give Mouse House their own Cobra Kai if there’s enough Zamboni power. Beyond those two blockbusters, National Geographic will unveil new documentary Own the Room, MCU fans in need of a refresher can tune into Marvel Studios: Legends, and for $30 extra bucks will get you Raya and the Last Dragon.

Netflix Picks Up Tim Burton’s Wednesday Addams Live-Action Series
Last October, we learned that Tim Burton was in the process of creating a live-action reboot of The Addams Family. It sounded like a shoe-in for the modern master of all things creepy and kooky to give the beloved horror sitcom a 21st century upgrade, and clearly Netflix was sold on the idea. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the streaming service has ordered an eight-episode season of the Burton-directed affair, which is not just an ordinary reboot. Titled Wednesday, the series will be a live-action offshoot of The Addams Family that focuses on the household’s brooding daughter, Wednesday Addams. Netflix’s official synopsis describes the show as such: “A sleuthing, supernaturally infused mystery charting Wednesday’s years as a student at the peculiar Nevermore Acade...
Tim Burton’s Batman Returns in New DC Comics Series
Cue up the Danny Elfman score — maybe even Prince’s “Batdance” — and get ready to revisit Tim Burton’s Batman universe. Today, DC Comics announced they’re spending this summer in the filmmaker’s Dark Deco’d Gotham City with Batman ’89. Written by original screenwriter Sam Hamm and brought to the page by artist Joe Quinones, the DC Digital First series will tell all new adventures featuring Michael Keaton’s incarnation of Batman.

Altogether, there will be 12 new chapters that “pull on a number of threads left dangling by the prolific director.” The first six will debut on July 27th with ...
Danny Elfman’s Edward Scissorhands Score Gets 30th Anniversary Deluxe Reissue
Tim Burton’s unintentional Christmas classic Edward Scissorhands came out 30 years ago, almost to the day. To celebrate its anniversary as of one the most charmingly bizarre films out there, Waxwork Records is putting out a special deluxe reissue of the beloved score Danny Elfman wrote for the movie. The 30th anniversary deluxe reissue includes all of Elfman’s fairytale-like compositions, including the gorgeous snow scene music and that iconic suburbia suite that makes it one of Burton’s all-time bests. To ensure a quality product, the audio has been re-mastered for vinyl from the original Edward Scissorhands masters, which means you can hear all of the details Elfman snuck into these songs. There’s plenty of visual flair to go with the reissue, too. It’s being pressed to 180 gram vin...
Tim Burton Bringing The Addams Family Back to TV
The Addams Family will soon welcome a very fitting guest: Tim Burton. According to Deadline, the veteran Gothic filmmaker is heading to television for the first time ever for a new live-action adaptation of America’s spookiest family. Sources tell the publication that Burton is negotiating to both executive produce and — get this — possibly direct all episodes of the new reboot. Oh, it gets better: Burton will also be joined by Smallville masterminds Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, who will serve as executive producers, head writers, and showrunners of the series. Additional details are scarce if non-existent at the moment, but Deadline states the show would be set in modern times and would instead follow the point of view of young Wednesday Addams. This would certainly give it a YA slant. ...
