Speaking at the Lucca Comics & Games conference for the European fan screening of Wednesday, Burton shares that he still loves making movies, saying that there’s still a place for such these days, even in a fast-paced world.
The director goes on to say how Wednesday Addams stood among the rest in his eyes when he was watching Charles Adams’ cartoons. He deems them as ‘really inspirational’ to him in his work. And the ‘odd-one-out-ness’ of Wednesday is exactly what captivated him about the character.
Burton also mentioned previously that it had been Wednesday herself that pushed him to do the Addams family spinoff series in the first place. This time, taking his own spin in it by portraying Wednesday as a teenager rather than as a child.
