ComingSoon.net reports that a new stop-motion film starring The Addams Family is moving forward, with Tim Burton possibly sitting in the director’s chair.

Christopher Meledandri, producer of the upcoming Despicable Me film, told the site that the film would not be computer animated, but indeed a stop-motion feature. He also stressed that it would be based on the comic strip that ran in The New Yorker, as opposed to the television series or film adaptations.

“It’s all very, very early, but we are developing with [Tim Burton directing] in mind,” said Meledandri, “We’re just now at the story phase. Stuff has been written as though we are doing it in black and white, but that’s not correct. It’s not incorrect, but it’s not correct. We haven’t gotten to that point.”

Robin Williams Still Wants to be The Riddler

Robin Williams recently told Empire magazine that he would be interested in a role in Christopher Nolan’s next Batman film, possibly as The Riddler.

“I would do Batman in a second, playing anyone,” Williams said. “I’d play The Riddler in the next one, although it would be hard to top Heath [Ledger] as the villain and I’m a little hairy for tights… The Batman films have screwed me twice before: years ago they offered me The Joker and then gave it to Jack Nicholson, then they offered me The Riddler and gave it to Jim Carrey. I’d be like, ‘OK, is this a real offer? If it is, then the answer’s yes. Don’t pump me again motherf**kers.’”

Lauren Shuler Donner Wants Wonder Woman Film

Lauren Shuler Donner, who served as a producer for the X-Men films, as well as the upcoming X-Men: First Class, recently told Sci-Fi Wire about her great interest in overseeing a Wonder Woman film.

“I’m campaigning to produce Wonder Woman for DC and Warners,” Donner said. “They don’t want it, but I just think she’s the greatest character. She’s right up there, as you know, with Superman and Batman, the three of them. I want to produce Wonder Woman,” she said.

Donner said she’d like to cast an up-and-coming actor as the Goddess/superhero.

“I think so, because I’d like it to grow,” she said. “I think there’s a lot of Wonder Woman stories that would be great to tell. I see a couple of them.”
