Charlize Theron believes her upcoming film '
The Addams Family
' has underlying themes of inclusivity and immigration.
Theron voice stars in the animated feature alongside
Oscar Isaac, Chloe Grace-Moretz,
Finn Wolfhard,
Bette Midler, and Allison Janney. It is based on the famous cartoon series of the same name, created by Charles Addams.
The story follows the Addams family whose lives begin to unravel when they move to
New Jersey
and face-off against a crafty reality-TV host while also preparing for their extended family to arrive for a major celebration, Addams-style.
Talking to an online entertainment portal on the sidelines of film's premiere, Theron said, "When you think of (the Addams) being around since the sixties, that's pretty powerful that they've always had their same values. But, this moment and time, there needs to be so much more encouragement."
"We need to question the norm a little bit more and we need to find kindness and understanding for others that might not look like us or might not talk like us or might not sound like us. So, to be a part of something like that, and I know children and their families are going to go see that, if that grabs them somewhere in their heart to think about things a little differently, boy, would that be great," she added.
