Friday Feature: Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland

Who: Director Tim Burton, actor Johnny Depp as The Mad Hatter, Anne Hathaway as the White Queen, and Helena Bonham Carter as the Red Queen.


What: A 3D take on the classic children's novels Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass by Lewis Carroll. It will also be released in IMAX-3D and regular 2D film.

From Wikipedia:

Alice (Mia Wasikowska), now 19 years old, attends 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 off, following the White Rabbit (Michael Sheen) into a hole and ending up in Wonderland, a place she visited 10 years before, yet doesn't remember. Wonderland was a peaceful kingdom until the Red Queen (Helena Bonham Carter) overthrew her sister, the White Queen (Anne Hathaway). The creatures of Wonderland, such as the Cheshire Cat (Stephen Fry), Tweedledee and Tweedledum (Matt Lucas) and the March Hare (Noah Taylor), ready to revolt, wait for Alice to help them. With the help of the White Queen, the Mad Hatter (Johnny Depp) and the Caterpillar (Alan Rickman), Alice starts seeing flashbacks of her visit, back when she was nine.

When: March 5, 2010

Why: Because I'm in love with Johnny Depp, there's an amazing, star-studded cast, and Tim Burton makes awesome films. Whenever he and Johnny collaborate they produce gold, i.e. The Nightmare Before Christmas, Corpse Bride, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Edward Scissorhands, Sleepy Hollow, and Sweeney Todd. Plus, who doesn't love Alice in Wonderland?

I hadn't heard this was happening. I am so excited by the prospect of this, I'm almost unsure that it's real. It combines all my favourite things: Burton, Rickman, Depp, and Stephen Fry, IN ONE MOVIE. Happy!

I'm really getting excited about this one. Johnny Depp and Tim Burton are one of the best teams in the business.

I am so excited for this!

I had no idea that Alan Rickman was cast as the caterpillar-- makes it even more of a need to see!

I heard of an Alice in Wonderland featuring Sarah Michelle Gellar, but not this one. It looks good.

I am totally dying for this one! I love Tim Burton's work and Helena Bonham Carter is also one of my faves. No need to mention that I think Johnny Depp is a freakin genius! :)

I'm sorry about the double commenting : for some weird reason, I saw no comments when I posted (from me or from anyone else). Only after posting my second comment did they all appeared. :/
