Burton in Wonderland


I always thought the "Alice in Wonderland" stories were pretty bugged out... but in a good way. Although I barely remember the premise, other than it being something about a rabbit hole (shout out to the Matrix). When I heard that Tim Burton would be directing this new version of the film, I got butterflies in my stomach. Nohomo. Tim Burton, who's genius is behind classics like "Edward Scissorhands", "Nightmare Before Christmas", "Sleepy Hollow", two "Batman" films and others I don't feel like mentioning, is bound to tear this shit up. Burton's intricate fantasies and wild-ass imagination are sure to fit perfectly into this film adaptation. The cast looks superofficial as well; Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, Alan Rickman, and Crispin Glover are actors who I am quite fond of. A somewhat new actress, Mia Wasikowska, plays Alice. She looks dum good so I'm fine with it. These stills of the characters were just released and damn they are crazy! Depp, at the top, plays the Mad Hatter of course, then it's Alice, Bonham Carter as the Red Queen looking bugged, Matt Lucas as Tweedledee and Tweedledum, and Anne Hathaway as the White Queen, looking... white. Comes out 5th March, 2010.
