As noted Editorial Vanity Fair Tim Burton’s interest in a new Netflix project has been quite a challenge. Miles Millar and Alfred Gough, the main creators of the series, were eager to start working with the director, who in the 90s abandoned the production of the picture from The Addams Family. Interestingly, the American’s portfolio includes such peculiar productions as “Edward Scissorhands”, “Corpse Bride”, “Frankenweenie” or “Sweeney Todd, the Demon Barber of Fleet Street”, and the script for the first series attracted his attention:
“He was interested in where everything was going, the secret of the show. He had a lot of questions about the previous TV projects we’ve done, like how we managed to prepare them. He really liked the fact that we have time to hang out with Wednesday and get into character, and not, you know, cram it all into an hour and 45 minutes. The goal of the show is to make an eight-hour Tim Burton movie out of it,” admitted Gough.
Netflix has yet to announce a release date for Wednesday.
