This reinterpretation designed for an audience of all ages (the first chapter grossed over $ 200 million worldwide), arriving in theaters on October 28 with Eagle Pictures, adds to the many transpositions of the irreverent family given away by TV, theater and cinema. in over 80 years (plus countless quotes), from the cult 1960s television series starring John Astin and Carolyn Jones as Gomez and Morticia to early 1990s films starring Angelica Huston and Raul Julia.

She is more and more rock. “The sequel, however, leaves aside the original bite of comics or other versions, but manages, in some moments, to lightly ironically on politically correct, and to trace a pleasant story on the search for identity common to adolescents. . An age in which “we go through a process of discovery to try to understand who we are and our sense of belonging. When hormones kick in, we tend to feel things really, really deeply, and we become incredibly sensitive, Charlize Theron told The Irish News. Wednesday is definitely going through a lot of that in the film, and her parents are really eager to figure out how to help her. No matter how different the Addams family may be to everyone, they face dynamics that we can all relate to. ”
