"ADDAMS FAMILY VALUES" PRODUCTION INFORMATION IWI ove is in the air. And when that air surrounds the Adda ms Fami ly, eve nts un fold in de li ghtfully un expected ways. Take Gomez an d Morticia: pass iona te, devoted, de mented , and thrill ed by their new

arrival, ba by Pubert, brandis hing that sweet smil e, that fami li al pallor, that cute littl e mousta che. The love bug has bitten Uncl e Feste r, a n innocent if ever the re was one, who has developed hi s own yea rnin g for De bbie Je llinsky, the new nanny with he r own ideas about Fester's future, none of which involve hi s

lo ngevity. Even yo ung Wed nesday has met a kindred sp irit in th e most unli ke ly of locat ions - summer camp.

Welco me back to th e irreve rent wo rld of Charl es Ad dams's macabre cha ra cters as they return to the screen, fo ll owi ng their debut a ppea rance in o ne of the major blockbuste r films of 1991. Starring once aga in are Anj elica Huston , Raul Juli a and Chri stopher Lloyd as Morticia , Gomez and Uncle Feste r, and co-starring are Chri st ina Ri cci and Ji mmy Workman as Wednesday and Pugsley. The fa mily also incl udes Christopher Hart as Thing, Ca re l Struycke n as Lurch the bu t le r, Dana Ivey as Ma rga re t , and Jo hn Franklin as Co usin Itt.

Joining the happy group in "Adda ms Fam ily Values" a re Ca rol Kane as Granny, and Joan Cusack as Debbie, the nanny who isn't quite what she seems. The cast also includes Pete r MacNico l, Chri stine Baranski an d David Krumhol tz.

This lunacy is aga in und e r th e ausp ices of the tea m that crea ted "The Adda ms Family": directo r Ba rry Sonnenfe ld, an award-winning cinematographe r who made his directori al debut with the first ''Addams,'' and

pro li fic produce r Scott Rudin , whose d ra mati c thriller "The Firm" has grossed more than S 150 milli o n to date ; and whose comedy hit "Sister Act" was one of the highest gross ing film s of 1992. The scree npl ay is by Paul Rudni ck, who, earli e r thi s year, e nj oyed co ns ide rable acco lades, including an Obie Award , for hi s off-Broadway hit, "Jeffrey." David Nicksay is th e executive prod uce r of the presenta ti o n o f rh e Motion Pi cture Gro up of Paramount Pictures.

"Addams Family Va lues" filmmakers include director of photography Dona ld Peterman, A.S.C., a two-time Oscar nominee for "Flashda nce" and "Star Trek IV: The Voyage Ho me." Academy Awa rd-winning producti o n des igner Ken

Ada m, whose creative vision fueled the major James Bond film s and Stanley Kubri ck' s classics "Dr. Strangelove" and "Barry Lynd on," was e nli sted to make tan gible the atmosphere and spirit of Charl es Add ams's macabre drawings. The costumes, re fl ecting both rhe eccentri city and elegance of the Adda ms mili e u , were des ig ned by Academy Awa rd- winner Theon i V. Aldredge, who

won he r Oscar fo r "The Great Ga tsby." The co-ed itors are Academy Award winner Arthur Sch midt . who wo n hi s Osca r for "Who Framed Roger Rabbit." and Jim Mill er. who was co-editor with Dede All en on "The Addams Fam ily." Ma rc Sha iman ("Sleepless in Seattle." "Sister Act," "City Sli ckers") composes and co nducts the sco re for the new "Addams Family" film.

ABOUT THE PRODUCTION irector Barry Son nenfe ld ca ll s the Addamses "the ultimare functional family. The parents love the children. The mother and father love each othe r. They don't change their values based o n a

wh im. They' re a perfect family."

"It' s an interesting thing making a sequel to 'The Addams Family ... · Sonnenfeld says. "because there are ce rtain characters who can change and grow and become different. An d there are other cha racters who the audience doesn't want to see change . For instance. you wo uldn't want to make a movie whe re Go mez and Morti cia get a divorce - they have a pe rfect re lationship. You wouldn't wa nt Wednesday to be any mo re evil o r deadpan. or Pugsley to be any more or less goofy."

"At the beginning of the movie we find that Fester is very lo ne ly. He rea li zes that eve ryo ne's very happy - the fam ily has another baby - and Feste r is lonely. He wants a mate."

Observes Sonnenfe ld . "One of the things we've done wit h 'Addams Family Va lues' is to have more of a story than in 'The Addams Family,' and in troduce new characters. So we have an opportuni stic nanny. baby Pubert . and Joe l

Glicke r. Wedn esday's first boyfri end."

Screenwriter Paul Rudnick re li shes the delicious mischief of the Addams psyche. "The best t hing about w ri t ing for the Adda ms Family is that yo u don't have to be wholesome," says Rudnick. who disp lays an obvious playful glee about the opportun ity to portray the hap py prankishness and twisted humor of the Addams clan. Rudnick worked extens ive ly on the first Adda ms film. and ''Addams Family Va lues" is his original screenp lay.

Comments executive produce r David Nicksay. "As yo u get to know them. yo u real ize that the Addamses have fantastic traditions which they pass o n to each other. They love each other ve ry mu ch. They che ri sh each othe r's freedom to be individual. quirky.

however they want to be, and so they have a rea lly great working fam ily un it."

Says RaulJulia, "I think the appea l of the Addams Fam ily is that they are ve ry eccentric and nau ghty. And we all have in ourselves the desire to be naughty once in a while."

Anj e li ra Huston adds, '" think within all of us there is a search for things that are a litt le off-cente r and offbeat. 'think their appeal is the fa ct that they accept what is to the normal world unacceptable- in fact they embrace what is unacceptable-and that they have such a wo nderful understand ing of each other. They have wo nd erful fam ily val ues. They are devoted to each other."

Huston describes the re lationship between Morticia and Go mez as "extremely loving and ve ry passionate, If anything, , think their passion deepens with th e yea rs."

Huston has done so me th in king about the nature of her Adda ms alter ego. "There are certain questions about Mort icia," she smil es, "such as 'Does Morticia wake up and put that outfit on?' My fee ling about her always was that thi s is how she wakes up in the morning. There is a question as to whethe r Morticia has legs."

Raul Ju li a sees Gomez as a very romantic cha racte r. "He's very mu ch in love with Morticia. And he's like a swashbu ckl ing , romanti c, crazy man. When Gomez gets upset, it' s like a vo lca no. He also has the spirit of a child, whi ch he has neve r lost. He can be ve ry naive, but thin gs a lways turn o ut fin e fo r him somehow."

The chemistry between Go mez and Morticia is an extensio n of the friendship between Raul Juli a and Anjel ica Huston. "By the time we sta rted filming (the fir st 'Addams'), we were good frie nds," he remembers. Thi s closeness was essent ial when it came time to fi lm the e laborate tango sequence in "Addams Fa mily Val ues." The setting for their dance is a mossy French restau rant where Gomez and Morticia have taken Fester and Debb ie to di nner.

"The tango is such a unique way of ex pressi ng love and romance," obse rves Julia, who o nce took tango lessons with hi s wife in Arge ntina. Severa l rehea rsa ls with choreographer Peter Anastos led to the success of the

sequ ence. "Peter was very open to suggestio ns ," says Julia . "Remembe r, thi s is not a serious Argentinean ta ngo - it' s an Adda ms Family tango."

Remembers Huston, "We spent a lot of t ime rehea rs ing and pe rfecting our tango. It was the first t ime I've been involved in dance on film , and it required a lot of concentration , but it was fun."

Ca re l Struycke n , t he seven-feet-tall, Dutch-born actor who plays the quietly intimidating butle r Lurch, sees hi s character as th e protector of the family:

"He's there when he needs to be and he knows

in advance when things are goi ng to go awry." It is Lu rch who looks after the Addams Family mans ion, which Struycke n reminds is "surrou nded by acres an d acres of g raveyard, with thousands of to mbstones. I thin k one of the famil y's regular pastimes is digg ing up old bo nes. And I think long, long ago, whe n they needed a fresh serva nt, they we nt o ut and dug up so me bones and I think Lurch is really a co mpil atio n of deceased Adda ms Fami ly relatives. He's really, literally, a part of the family."

Caro l Ka ne, who plays Granny, com ments

abo ut her role, "She is Mort icia's moth e r and th ere is so me ta lk abo ut the fa ct that she may also be Go mez's and Feste r's mothe r."

The second Adda ms Fa mily motion picture finds Wednesday Addams with he r first boyfriend. Chri stina Ricci, who turned 13 during th e filming of "Addams Fam ily Values," has a very clear und erstanding of he r cha racter: "Wed nesday is ve ry mature. She is very secure in he r house and with her

family, and any new pe rson makes her ve ry suspicio us. As she grows up , she starts to look more and mo re like Mort icia. She wants to be just li ke her mother. "

When Debbie Jellinsky, ba by Pubert's new nanny, co mes to work for the famil y, Wed nesday is immediately wa ry of he r intenti o ns and soon observes Debb ie go ing through the fa mily's financial ledgers.

Exp lains David Nicksay, "Debbie is a bl ack widow - a se ri al mu rderess, sli ghtly 'round the bend, but 'ro und t he bend in th e se nse that she's a rea l confo rmi st to what we ca ll 't raditi o nal' Ame ri ca n val ues: upwa rdly mobil e, co nsum er o ri ented. She co mes into thi s famil y w ith the inte nt ion of tearing it apart, and she finds the one famil y in th e wo rld she ca n't destroy. Try as she does, they are not at al l what she expects."

The role of Debb ie was the g rea t casti ng chall enge of "Addams Fa mily

Values." Says Nicksay. "joan Cusack brings a kind of un pred icta bility to the role that is wonde rful. What's ve ry important in a movie like th is, is that the villa in be great. And like 'Batman' had a great vill ain in j ack Nicho lson as the joker, joan Cusack adds the same kind of ene rgy to the sto ry."

In order to manipul ate Uncle Fester and get her way, De bbie rea li zes that she must get Wednesday and Pugsley o ut of the house . She co nvinces Mo rticia and Comez to send them to summer ca mp.

"Feste r w ri tes to Wed nesday and Pugsley at Camp Chippewa, te lling them he can never see them aga in ," says j immy Workman. "They know something's wro ng and t ry to get out of the camp any way they can, but the othe r ca mpe rs always seem to catch them."

Camp Ch ippewa is the pe rfect, rust ic summer get-away fo r the offspri ng of class-consc ious yuppies - and the last place in the world that Wednesday and Pugsley wou ld choose to be. Iro nically, it is he re that Wedn esday unexpectedly meets a kindred spi rit and fee ls the bloom of first ro mance. That boy is j oel Clicker (David Krumholtz), who can't fi nd anything to like about summer camp either.

"We meet joel at summer ca mp, and it seems he's been over-coddled by his mother and he's all ergic to eve rything," says Ricci. "He's a tota l hypochond riac."

'Joel is bas ica lly me as a kid," says d irector Son nenfe ld. "He doesn't li ke bugs, doesn't li ke the outdoors, wo ul d rather be read ing ." Sonnenfe ld appears as joel's fat her in the movie -"because I was too old to play joel," he exp lain s.

Actor Dav id Krumho ltz says, 'J oel likes the way Wed nesday is not afraid to ta lk, because he's not very o utgo ing. He's ve ry shy and ne rvo us, an d she's not at a ll. He loves the we ird ness of Wed nesday's fa mily, and I think he fits right in and he's glad he does. He finds Wedn esday bea utiful. And they both think the idea of green trees and a ni ce, bea ut iful lake is the ir ve rsion of he ll."

II ADDAMS FAMILY PRODUCTION VALUES

n the ir re turn vis it to the Adda ms Mans io n, filmgoe rs who de li ghted in the Addams'distinctive ap proach to in te ri or des ig n and fash ion will be t reated to many new di scove ries .

Sonn enfe ld and Rud in agreed that the fa mily mans io n of the second Adda ms adventure should be a home much like the o ne Charles Adda ms d rew in his cartoons.

"I sa id that I co uldn't do much better than to try and bring the Addams ca rtoons to life, because I think this man was a ge nius," says production designer Ken Adam . "I made quite sure that I wou ld go back to the Addams cartoons with a touch of Ken Adam thrown in."

Wherever possible Ada m em ulated Addams: the small gal lery running on top of Gomez's study, the bed in Wednesday's bedroom. the kitchen, the attic. the wallpaper, the out-of-plumb walls. "I think in every room in the house there a re elements of Charle s Adda ms," ' the production designer says. In Pubert's nursery, however. th ere was no Addams prototype. "I tried to go back to the Charles Addams style of drawing certain animals - g rotesque ones, to be sure.

"At Warner Bros., we built the exterior facade of the house with the conservatory, dining room and entry hall,"' reca ll s Ada m. "At CBS Studio Ce nter we built the cemetery with the conse rvato ry and dining room. which comprised the rear and side of the house. And at Paramount there is the ground or first floor of the house on Stage 20, also with the conservatory wall. and the second floor of the house on Stage 3 1. So we ended up building the conservatory, or parts of it , on three different stages.

"We had to pull out all the stops, all the things I have learned in my 46 years of experience," Adam says. "We we re building on seven soundstages at o ne time. Even on some of the g iga ntic James Bond pictures I did, I have never built on that many stages at the same time." These stages were used for t he va ri o us inte ri ors of the Addams house, Debbie and Fester's Hawa iian honeymoon suite, and the French resta urant grotto.

For the cemete ry set, Ada m came up w ith the idea of building part of it in forced perspective. "We built it in compos ite with part of the house," he says. One of the new additions to the house is the Conservatory, wh ich appears in a very primitive way in some of the Adda ms cartoons -" look ing like a big bird cage." he says.

Severa l locations a round the Los Angeles area serve to take the Addamses out of their crumbling mansio n. Among them are East L.A."s Linda Vista Hospital, the Long Beach Airport Terminal, and private homes in Pasadena and Palos Verdes.

Californ ia's Sequoia National Forest provided a picturesque summer camps ite- and a new setting for torture - for the Adda ms child ren, Wednesday

and Pugsley. Located 50 miles east of the San Joaquin Valley city of Fresno, and home to fi ve YMCA campsi tes, Sequo ia Lake provided the production com pany with two d istinct locales. The a rrival of the campe rs took place at Camp Sequo ia, and the pagea nt sequence was set across the lake at Camp Tulequoia.

An objective of costum e designer Theo ni V. Aldredge was to be faithful to the Addams' flair for th e dramatic in their apparel whil e accentuating their penchant fo r t he romantic. Working with Ken Adam, Aldredge intens ified the wardrobe's look and gave it a bit more color­except in t he case of Morticia, who always dresses in black. In "Addams Fa mily Val ues," however, Morticia's black dresses are very di sti nctive and elaborate creations.

The indistinct time pe riod also gave Ald redge room to be creative, combining apparel from many diffe rent e ras. The Adclams Family made their debut in the 1930s, so Aldredge dressed Gomez in '30s-era suits. "Wednesday, Pugs ley and Granny stay ve ry much like the o riginal Addams drawings, but with eve ryone e lse we've gone every which way ... Granny was a lot of fun because we put everything on her. If you look at close-ups of her, she's got dead birds in her hair and feathers. Ca rol Kane enjoyed adding things, too. 1 think Gra nny ca rri es her wea lth with her so that, just in case something happe ns, God fo rbid she doesn't have it on."

The film presented one ve ry un-Addams-i sh characte r for Aldredge to clothe: Debbie Je llinsky, the nanny with the horribl e secret. She wears pastels - an Ad dams faux pas of th e hi ghest o rd er. "Debbie borders o n rea lly tacky taste," says the designe r. "We tri ed to put in a little bad taste, but she can get away with it because she's very pretty."

Aldredge says that Joan Cusack - the actress wearing the dreaded pinks and lavende rs and beiges - was a de li ght: "She has a great sense of humor and eve rything I do becomes that much mo re amp lifi ed." It's Debbie who gets Fester into sweate rs. A suburban Adda ms is a sight to behold.

In addition to the contributions of cast members and des ign and wardrobe personn el to the Adda ms aura , the film also depends on visual effects to bring some of the strange r aspects of the Addams milieu to life. Visual effects superviso r Alan Munro se rved in that same capacity on "The Addams Family."

"We needed to top everything we'd already done ," says Munro. Just in terms of Thing, Mu nro and his team utili zed 15 different puppets that do

everything from run , pull wago ns, drive a ca r, massage heads, twitch, twitte r, and vibrate. Then there are a huge number of optical effects required invo lving

Christopher Hart and hi s prosthetics. The most comp li cated of Thing's effects is a skating seq uence, with Thing do ing acrobatics on a roller skate. "We d id that with Ch ri s Hart and wo rked out the mechanics of it as we we nt a lo ng, shooting kooky ang les," reme mbers Munro. "It's the ultimate skateboard seq uence with a detached hand."

Chri stopher Hart remembers the original task of wo rking Ollt the 'characte r' of Thing: "Thing had to have hi s own we ig ht as a cha racter, so I had to make sure that my wrist was at a ce rtai n angle ove r my hand so that whe n my body was taking off it wo uld look correct. And of co urse I had to consider the performance aspects -what his personality was like and how he moved. I see Thing as a lovable little character. He's like a litt le puppy dog, in that he likes to play practica l jokes. He's a kid at heart, but he's also obviously ve ry inte lli gent and cares about his fami ly - he's willing to put hi s life in danger to save them."

"The great thing about this fam ily is they love each other not despite their fault s, but because of the m," says Scott Rudin . "What better way is there to feel good about ourselves and ou r sho rtco mings than by looking at a fam ily that has take n those things that the rest of the world defi nes as fa il ures and instead ra ises them up and puts them on a pedestal? They admire t hose peccad ill oes -these a re the Addams famil y va lues they revere and protect."

II ABOUT CHARLES ADDAMS

harl es Adda ms's eccentric ca rtoons first appea red in The New Yorke r magaz ine in 1932, when he waS 2 1 years o ld. The magaz ine was to be his publi shing home for more than 50 yea rs, eve n during

Wo rld War 11 wh il e he was also doing animat io n for the Signal Corps Photographic Ce nte r in New York City. The Addams Family ran from 1935 thro ugh 1964, with so me 1300 ca rtoons and wate rco lors, incl ud ing 66 New Yorke r covers, making up the Adda ms oeuvre. When the TV show made its deb ut in September, 1964, The New Yorker asked that cha racters of the Fami ly no lo nge r appea r in th e magazine, and they did not reappear until 1988, shortly before Add ams died.

Addams grew up in Westfield, New Jersey, the son of a naval architect. Surrounded by Victor ian mansio ns and archa ic g raveyards, hi s imagination lea ned ea rly towa rd the bizarre. He studi ed art at Co lgate University, the n at the Univers ity of Pennsylva nia , and fina lly at the Grand Centra l School of Art in New Yo rk . His unique variations o n domestic life and middle-class va lues

shattered all common ex pectatio ns.

In memorial of Addams, Lady Co lyto n has end owed in perpetu ity the Charles Addams Memoria l Prize at the Un iversity of Pennsylva ni a. This S 10,000 grant, awa rd ed an nually at co mmencement, is prese nted to the o utstandi ng graduate art student, Lady Colyto n's commence ment address ca ptures the unique elements of Adda ms's work:

"Charles Adda ms made a giant contribution to t he world of art. It was not on ly his superb craftsmansh ip and his gen ius in the realm of humor whi ch was uniqu e and wonderful ; but more than that , hi s work was a social co mmentary o n an e ra: the blend ing of the s ini ster framework of in noce nt and childlike fantasies of our inner selves with the commo nplace incidents of eve ryday li fe, thus investing them with total absurdi ty. It has been like ned to a surrea l turnabout of a typica l American fam ily. His gift to posterity was vast. He left a graphi c style and a comic ge nre that will always bear hi s name."
