I’m still on vacation but these photos are too good not to share.
Disney just released the first official images of Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland, slated for release March 5, 2010. Whether or not you’re a Burton fan, I think you’ve got to admit these pictures are stunning.
In case you can’t tell due to all the makeup, that’s Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter, Helena Bonham Carter as the Red Queen and Anne Hathaway as the White Queen. Nineteen-year-old Mia Wasikowska plays Alice, an excellent choice from what I’ve seen of her work in Defiance and In Treatment.
Other cast members include Alan Rickman as the Caterpillar, Michael Sheen as the White Rabbit and Stephen Fry as the Cheshire Cat. I can’t wait to see those pictures.
Meanwhile, feast your eyes on these and let me know what you think. (UPDATE: Check out the teaser trailer here.)

Actually, in my country there’s a lot of people likes to watch some GREAT movies with “crazy” concept (i think the concept is very unusual, in positive meaning) such as this movie.

June 24, 2009 at 11:03 pmIndonesia—wow! I’m glad you found this site and hope you’ll visit often.
What other “crazy concept” movies have you enjoyed recently? One of the best films I’ve seen in recent years is Guillermo del Toro’s Pan’s Labyrinth. Have you seen that?

Not “cracy concept”, but the pictures were the BEST.

June 24, 2009 at 7:00 amSooo odd…They’re just over the line from beautiful to a little creepy. LOL! I think it will be a helluva movie. Depp is so dang interesting to watch. I had to do a double take on those flowers, didn’t realize they were faces at first.

June 24, 2009 at 11:09 pmHow cool are those faces in the flowers? And, yes, creepy, too. But it wouldn’t be Tim Burton if it weren’t a little creepy!

Thanks, PCN.

When’s the trailer?

June 24, 2009 at 8:42 pmLet’s not forget Matt Lucas as Tweedledee and Tweedledum!
I am a serious Alice fanatic and am a little concerned about the changes they’re making, but what a cast, what a look!
I’ll be there when it opens, hoping for the best. Sweeney Todd is one of my favorite shows ever and I loved what Burton did with that, so…we’ll see!

June 24, 2009 at 11:05 pmHi Melissa,
Even though I looked up Matt Lucas’s IMDb profile, I can’t say I’m very familiar with his work. Are you a fan of his? What do you recommend as his best work?
Melissa
June 24, 2009 at 11:12 pmThe main thing I know Matt Lucas from is the hilarious British sketch comedy show Little Britain, which is sometimes shown on BBC America. I think all the seasons are available on DVD from Netflix, too. He’s very funny and I imagine lots of possibilities with the Alice characters.
