The Munsters: Remake?
Wow, good news today for my fellow horror geeks! Entertainment Weekly has announced that Bryan Fuller, the genius behind the short-lived television series Pushing Daisies, is developing a modern-day remake of the classic TV-series, The Munsters.
That’s not all! The big rumor going around is that GeekPeeks favorite, Guillermo Del Toro, is playing a role in the reboot. This isn’t that big of a surprise after he recently announced that he was going to play a key role in developing various television projects.
Before anyone get’s their panties in a bunch about Hollywood remaking another classic TV series, keep in mind that Fuller and Del Toro are no strangers to the horror/comedy genre. Anyone who’s seen Pushing Daisies or the Hellboy films knows that these two guys know how to be creepy while still keeping it light and funny. As a big fan of the original series, I have to admit that I’m a little skeptical, but knowing these two guys are involved puts me at ease. Thoughts???

Del Toro and Fuller are fantastic at what they do, and I think they should explore their talents in an original avenue. If you’re a great artist in your own, you don’t go and trace a Picasso.

here’s a breakdown of a Tim Burton produced show:
Rehashed Danny Elfman score
Fast camera movement
Alone, oddball character is the protagonist who we should love immediately.
Conflict
Resolution
Johnny Depp shows up and does a weird dance for some unknown reason
The End
All I can say is that at least Del Toro cares about what he does and isn’t just doing it to cash the check like Burton has done lately.
