Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland

Posted in Movies on July 29, 2009 at 2:13 am

We all know the story of Alice and Wonderland and the countless remakes, renditions and movie translations that have occurred over the years. Who better to make the latest version than the warped, twisted mind of Tim Burton? Having been produced by Disney Studios, we can expect the royal treatment in terms of scale and publicity. The fact that they’ve released these shots an entire year in advance speaks to the marketing dollars they are throwing behind it. But why not? Tim Burton releases always go to number 1 and become classics in their own right. I remember being young and having “A Nightmare Before Christmas” be a really big deal. Tim Burton is known for his dark, twisted and warped perspective and it’ll be interesting to see how this plays out. Of course the set and costume designs will be top notch. It’s also no surprise that Johnny Depp is somehow involved. It’s clear that he and Tim Burton work well together, and enjoy doing so. Peep some of the character shots below. Projected release is March 2010. I think they’re all done filming, but the post production will surely be bananas.

Alice – Mia Wasikowska(a relative new-comer)

Red Queen – Helena Bonham Carter(or Bellatrix for all you Harry Pott-heads.)-

Mad-Hatter – Johnny Depp

The White Queen – yes that’s Anne Hathaway
