Tim Burton Talks About ‘Alice’ and Depp

Burton discusses his new movie with Reuters.

Walt Disney Pictures Presents a Tim Burton Film - Alice in Wonderland

Simply stunning display of colors and maddness!

Walt Disney Pictures released new photos from Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland.  And they are both beautiful and distrubing (in a good way!).

I’m so far loving all the images coming from Disney on this film.  Tim Burton seems to have really captured the essence of Wonderland!  I’m digging all the vivid colors.

Check out the Alice in Wonderland photos on Walt Disney Pictures Backklot’s Facebook Photo Album.

First Look: Teaser Trailer for Tim Burton’s ‘Alice in Wonderland’

IGN.com has released a teaser trailer for Tim Burton’s re-imagining of the classic story of Alice in Wonderland!

I’m pretty stoked about this teaser trailer!  It looks wild and wacky…totally Tim Burton!  The cinematography looks amazing.  This movie will be quite the 3-D movie going experience!

EDIT:  Seems someone had leaked the teaser trailer to IGN.com, which resulted in the video finding its way to YouTube.  Disney made YouTube and IGN remove the video. Which makes sense, I suppose since Disney wants to save the big reveal of all the Alice goodness ’til tomorrow’s San Diego Comic Con.

But looks like (for now) MSN Video still has the teaser trailer.  The quality is pretty low.  It will do until the new footage is revealed from Comic Con.

Are YOU excited for Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland?  Tell us your thoughts!


New The White Queen Pic From ‘Alice in Wonderland’

Anne Hathaway is the White Queen in this new photo released by Empire Online.

Alice in Wonderland - Anne Hathaway as the White QueenAnne Hathaway is eye-catching as the White Queen in this brand-new picture available from Empire Online.  Her appearance is  elegant yet bizarre.

Which is not surprising since the White Queen seems to live her life backwards (screaming before she’s injured etc).  Mostly an ally to Alice, she will prove not to be the most useful or reliable companion.

Though I’d rather see Hathaway in the lead role of Alice, I think she’ll excel in this odd character.  Though truthfully all the inhabitants of Wonderland are more than a little odd.

Interesting fact is that the White Queen doesn’t appear in the Alice in Wonderland book, appearing in the sequel Through The Looking Glass.

But this Alice is not your Lewis Caroll classic.  It’s a modernized re-imagining of Caroll’s book, from the wonderfully weird mind of Tim Burton!  Burton is the no-brainer choice to direct Alice in Wonderland.

Linda Woolverton updated the story, which centers on the now-17-year-old Alice. Attending a party at a Victorian estate only to find she is about to be proposed to in front of hundreds of snooty society types, she runs after a white rabbit into a hole and ends up transferred once again to Wonderland. Still, she has no recollection of this place she visited 10 years before.

The 3-D movie will combine performance-capture imagery with live-action footage.  The scheduled release date is March 5, 2010.

During their 3D panel on Thursday, July 23 at the 2009 San Diego Comic Con, Disney will debut first ever footage of Alice in Wonderland.  Now I’m really upset I cannot attend this years Comic Con!

Are you going to Comic Con?  We would very much appreciate updates/reports from Disney’s 3D panel!

Empire also displayed three other pictures, which shows Mia Wasikowska’s Alice, Johnny Depp as The Mad Hatter, and The Red Queen played by Helena Bonham Carter.
