Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland

[Raynie]

Before anything, Takushi Rena was the one who found the article first so that credit goes to her. O:!

A First look on the newly released (literally) promotional photos from Tim Burton's adaptation of Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland. The art looks amazing all the while the characters are out there à laTim Burton style.

The casting is as follows:

• Mia Wasikowska as Alice
• Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter
• Helena Bonham Carter as the Red Queen
• Anne Hathaway as the White Queen
• Michael Sheen as White Rabbit
• Alan Rickman as the Caterpillar
• Matt Lucas as Tweedledee and Tweedledum
• Christopher Lee as the Jabberwock
• Noah Taylor as the March Hare
• Crispin Glover as the Knave of Hearts
• Eleanor Tomilnson as Fiona Chataway, unfriendly girl Alice meets before falling down the rabbit hole.
• Jemma Powell as Alice's sister
• Lindsey Duncan as Alice's mother
• Leo Bill as Hamish
• Tim Pigott-Smith, Geraldine James and Frances de la Tour have unnamed roles.

Most of them are confirmed by SlashFilms and USAToday, the rest I found through Wikipedia but... you know how 'reliable' that site is. Though most of the names mentioned above do seem true, I have not found any other official site with the full cast list as of yet.

USAToday has a better look at the concept shots, but by visiting both sites you can read the varying things about the entire matter.

What do you guys think? A royal flop that went beyond the boundaries (if there is any) of creativity or will it be a surprising smash-hit?

Being from Tim Burton, I highly doubt it will be a royal flop. But in all honestly I can't say until the first trailer pops out.

Matt Lucas, lol. Awesome.

 

[Archetype00x]

There's some solid talent in that cast list, but I'd be much more excited for this if there wasn't the inevitability of the throngs of goth Tim Burton fans filling every single theatre across the country, creaming their pants throughout the entirety of the film.

 

[impart]

im so exited!!!!! did you guys see the leaked photo of Johnny Depp as the mad hatter? (at least...im preety sure its a leek....)

 

[Aqua.]

I love Tim Burton films xD

I think this will be a success. And the cast seems pretty good, too.

YEEE! JOHNNY DEPP, CHRISTOPHER LEE! DD

 

[Superschlock]

Looks awesome! The cast looks promising, and Matt Lucas scares me as Tweedledee and Tweedledum

The only thing that sucks is Disney is producing it..... :/ i wonder what there gonna have Alan Rickman do instead of smoking a hookah cuz they banned smoking from there movies

 

[destinykh]

I thought this was an adaptation of the American McGee's Alice game, the one where Alice lost her parents in a fire and is admitted into an asylum, only to be called back to Wonderland to find it corrupted by her insanity. That was dark.

Anyway, the movie looks promising. It wouldn't be too dark since Disney's producing it, which is a disappointment, but it looks great so far.

Stephen Fry is playing the Cheshire Cat, according to IMDB.

The picture of Depp playing the Hatter makes me think of his role as Willy Wonka which doesn't spell good things for me.

 

[Dark-Sora 50]

I can't stand most of Tim Burton's films, but Christopher Lee as the Jabberwock is FTMFW.

 

[jazznam]

Alan Rickman and Christopher Lee to steal the limelight throughout the whole movie. There's also Marilyn Manson's Phantasmagoria which is about Lewis Carroll and his story about Alice.

 

[Mason Stark]

The only thing that sucks is Disney is producing it..... :/

Tell that to Nightmare Before Christmas, Frankenweenie, Vincent, and James and the Giant Peach. D:

ZOMG PIC-TURES YAY 8D Alan Rickman as the Caterpillar is going to make me crack up soooo bad in the middle of the movie. xD; I've only really seen him as Snape, so... yeah. That'll be ODD for sure. :d And ZOMG CHRISTOPHER LEE AND HELENA BONHAM CARTER AND JOHNNY DEPP YAY

I like Johnny Depp's Hatter now that there's more pictures. But I still agree with this: http://bri-chan.deviantart.com/art/reggie-vs-johnny-103914080 DISNEY'S HATTER ISH BETTER. D: I love Disney's Alice in Wonderland <3

 

[Pheonex]

Johnny Depp will make a great Mad Hatter, he just looks very creepy

 

[Reflection]

....



well there goes my sleep for the week.



The one of Alice at the gate is very pretty though. Gonna make a tag of that, hurr. >w>

 

[Danica Syer]

I can't wait to see it. With an all-star cast and Tim Burton doing this film, I'd say why not, right?

 

[Firagex]

I bet Johny Depp will nail this role. He was perfect in C.A.T.C.F.

 

[Black Rose Witch]

looks Awesome!

 

[Lycanthrope]

Johnny Depp would make a great Mad Hatter. And I love Tim burton films,, so I'm hoping for good things on this.
