Film director Tim Burton is reportedly planning on bringing a new animated 3-D version of The Addams Family.

Burton, 51, 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, reports the Daily Express.

And 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 the producer.

Burton has enjoyed huge success with his previous animated features, and his latest 3-D version of Lewis Carroll's classic 'Alice In Wonderland' is said to have pulled in 130.4 million pounds during its two-week run at the box office. (ANI)
