Tim Burton is planning to put his gothic spin on a new animated 3-D version of The Addams Family, according to a U.K. report.
The kooky director has wowed audiences with his 3-D version of Lewis Carroll's classic Alice In Wonderland, which has pulled in $208.6 million (£130.4 million) during its two-week run at the box office.
And Burton is hoping the groundbreaking movie technique will resurrect the spooky Addams Family, who last appeared on the big screen in 1993's Addams Family Values.
According to Deadline.com, Illumination Entertainment has acquired the rights to the original cartoons by Charles Addams, and the company's boss Chris Meledandri will act as producer.
Burton has enjoyed huge success with his previous animated features, which include The Nightmare Before Christmas and Corpse Bride.
Alice In Wonderland has dominated the global box office since it's release almost three weeks ago, bagging the number one spot in both the UK and America.
In it's opening weekend the movie broke the 3D box office record in the UK when it took over $10 million.
So far the film has grossed over $447 million globally. The movie is Burton's first as director since Sweeney Todd back in 2008, it's also his seventh collaboration with actor Johnny Depp.
