I guess work is about to begin on Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland. This should be a very interesting movie.

Mia Wasikowska is a talented young girl. She and Dianne Wiest were the best parts of In Treatment!

If he cast Dakota Fanning the audience would be rooting for the Red Queen to chop her head off! Test audiences would demand it!

Ugh, in 3D? Will it get a standard release? 3D movies make me VERY Sick to my stomach.

Wow she's gorgeous! Will Burton's Alice be a period piece?

As the world's biggest Helena Bonham Carter fan, can I say that I hope to hell he doesn't cast Helena Bonham Carter in it?

Yikes Linda Woolverton? She wrote the first Aida draft. She is TERRIBLE. Though I'm not surprised here, what's the deal with Burton doing all these damn remakes?

Wow. i hadn't heard about this. I'm a little frightened, but mostly intrigued. BTW, I'm remembering a semi-recent TV movie 'remake' with Martin Short as the mad hatter. Did this really happen or am I losing it?

"They're not remakes so much as re-imaginings!"

Like PLANET OF THE APES?

Let's be fair: when it works, it works.

Sleepy Hollow and Sweeny Todd, to my mind, worked like gangbusters.

True, true, Reggie - that would be fair.

I prefer his originals, however - ie: BEETLEJUICE and SISSORHANDS. BIG FISH, even, if it gets down to it.

But, I'll go and see this, none-the-less. With bells on.

LePetite-
I tried that with Nightmare 3-D, and the film is set up so you HAVE to watch with the glasses, or everything is out of focus.

[DG]

Posted: 7/25/08 at 2:48am

Husk - they usually release these '3-D' flicks in both formats (like they did with the recent abomination, JOURNEY TO THE END OF THE EARTH.) If you don't want to go the whole glasses/3-D route, you don't have to.

She looks like Evan Rachael Wood in that picture. But i agree she (along with miss weist) was the best part of in Treatment.

I was wondering how he was going to get Helena Bonham Carter and Johnny Depp in it...

[Roscoe]

Posted: 7/25/08 at 9:31am

Well well well, this could either really really work, or really really not work. I kind of feel like this material has been gone over and over so many times, I'm just not sure what Burton is going to bring to it, but I'll be there asap when it opens.

I do hope he resists the temptation to cast Depp as the Mad Hatter.
