I never watched the original show, but this certainly looks fun. |

Is it right to want to grudge fuck a movie?

Depp in another Tim Burton movie? Yeah, I am game... for whatever reason, it works.

Lots of people knocking the tailor for being "To Tim Campy".
I never watched the original series, so I don't care.

I remember listening to an article about this series on "This American Life" about a month ago. Sounds like this the goth/emo version of Star Trek.

The original was a very dull British drama which supposedly had "monsters" in the cast but was so low budget that there were no special effects and rarely anything to do with them actually being supernatural creatures. Imagine if Dracula sat at home for an hour and talked about the weather, it was kinda like that.

So, I was right. Emo/goth 70s version  |

Goth maybe. They don't really have anything to do with each other, as an FYI.

This reminds me of how much it pisses Lydia Lunch off to be referred to as "goth" because she wears black clothing.
Also, that trailer looks fucking terrible. I used to look very much forward to Burton films, but after watching Beetlejuice and Ed Wood recently, again.... he's lost his mojo, as it were. It also doesn't help that I was a pretty big fan of the original series.
This strikes me too much of LAWL WE'RE IN THE SEVENTIES.

Yeah, which is even more bizarre considering the original soap was canceled in 1971 and isn't generally associated with the '70s. I've never watched the series so I don't have a dog in this fight, but that trailer was thoroughly unentertaining.

The trailer looked fucking atrocious. Hey, I know, let's do the Addams Family again, only make it in the '70's and loosely base it on a late 60's era soap opera that had nothing whatsoever to do with the '70's and that some people liked. And since it's got a vampire in it, we'll get Tim Burton to direct it and Johnny Depp to act crazy in it. YEAH MONEY!!!
Fuck you, Tim Burton. I'm not even a big fan of the original (I did like the remake NBC did a decade or so back) and I'm insulted.

I think though, that there needs to be some props for making him a very nosferatu-esque vampire.

I think Tim Burton would have, himself, burst into flames if he did it any other way.
