This week, Vanity Fair released the first look at Tim Burton’s new series Wednesday, and streaming giant Netflix official trailer TV show based on the 90s cult black comedy The Addams Family. However, the audience did not notice one of the main characters in the frame – Uncle Fester. It turned out that the film company is still carefully hiding the identity of the performer of the role.
Extraordinary measures were taken to cover up the identity of Uncle Fester in the latest Netflix show, according to the DeuxMoi website, citing insiders. “This rarely makes the news, but the rumors are the first signs that Tim Burton was right to conduct the casting in person.
According to the tabloid Just Jared, by all indications, the mysterious member of the cast may well be 59-year-old Johnny Depp, who not only has been close friends with Burton for many years, but also starred in eight of his films: Edward Scissorhands (1990) , “Ed Wood” (1994), “Sleepy Hollow” (1999), “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” (2005), “Corpse Bride” (2005), “Sweeney Todd” (2007), “Alice in Wonderland” ( 2010) and Dark Shadows (2012). Fans of both are already speculating online:
Johnny Depp is the spitting image of Uncle Fester! New Depp and Burton collaboration? Wait – no rain.
If Johnny plays Uncle Fester, I swear I’ll watch absolutely every Tim Burton movie!
If Depp plays Fester, I’ll yell!
That rare feeling when I am sure that Johnny Depp is Uncle Fester. It will be candy.
The premiere of the series “Wednesday” will take place very soon, in the fall of 2022, so it will not be long to wait for the outcome of the intrigue. All episodes of the first season will be released on the same day, but the exact release date has not yet been announced.
Recall that the Addams Family was created by American artist Charles Addams in 1938 for newspaper comics. The Grim Family has been a source of inspiration for filmmakers over the years. From 1964-1966, ABC aired a series dedicated to the Addams, and in 1991, the most famous film directed by Raul Julia was released, which subsequently made them cult characters. In 1993, he directed a sequel, and in 2010 a musical based on the films was staged on Broadway and two animated films were presented.
