This looks so offbeat, dark and wonderful I just had to share with you!

Also, look for the portraits of Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter, Helena Bonham Carter as the Red Queen and Anne Hathaway as the White Queen.

That looks mad. Tim Burton is probably the only director around that could do that story justice it mixes all his elements perfectly.-
I am so excited! I think this may end up being the most visually stunning movie he's ever done and will be the penultimate version of Alice on film.
-
-
Oh-- excellent! It's sounded brilliant, so fingers crossed it works as well as it seems it would.-
I think visually it is going to be stunning and it has Alan Rickman as the Caterpillar!

I wonder if he has the light-hearted touch necessary to the book. He's very Gothic, and Carroll was so Victorian.-
I think Tim Burton's work is very comical, even Batman Returns with all its Gothic influences, was very funny. Sweeney Todd, with it's fountains of blood and Mrs. Lovett's Meat pies was also very darkly funny.
The only other director who I think could have done as well with Alice in Wonderland is the director of Pan's Labyrinth Guillermo DelToro -
O I'm sure it'll be wonderful in its own way. But I think and, rightly so, the vision represented will be Burton's, not Carroll's.

Have a little priest....
-
Well now that's in my head all day...thanks, Anok!
-
-
that looks awesome. I'd like to see this movie. -
OMG! Thanks for the link ST! That looks fantastic! I can't wait to see Johnny Depp as the mad-hatter.-
Me, too-- it's the right casting. (Also I am Depp-biased.
-
-
If Depp is in it - well then... It's good. -
I would give my right leg to work for Tim Burton. He's awesome, and brilliant, and now I MUST see this.
-
Well, right leg is a little much. Ten bucks should do it, but we all have to wait until next spring.
-
No no no, his sculpture department...I would kill to get in there. Like, I turn enviously green every time I watch his stop animation special features for the sculpture aspect.
I, God, it hurts I want it so badly

The Red Queen looks a caricature of Elizabeth I
-
I've been looking forward to this for years! Thank you for posting the link, the pictures look fantastic! I can't wait!
Also...for you Burton fans...many fans have never seen Burton's 'Vincent' which was his first short film and is absolutely fantastic! Here it is:

I have that on DVD, isn't it great?
-
It's just perfect! I wish he'd do more, but I suppose if he didn't take so long his films wouldn't be so good...
-
Yeah it take shim years to film, right? i think Nightmare before Christmas was in production for like, 8 years or something.
-
That was fantastic!
-
I said so...
-
Pre-production of The Nightmare ... took him most of the 1980s. Tim Burton conceived it (hence his name in the title), created the storyboards, concept art and most of the music with Danny Elfman (my favorite film composer), but the actual thing only took a couple of years to animate and film.
Henry Selick (director of Coraline) directed it while Burton worked on Batman Returns. Selick really, really, really, really captured Burton's style.

As Long as its not like his charley and the chocolate factory. Ill be happy.-
Prepare to be disappointed. -
Give it a chance! It's going to be a combination of live action and stop motion animation.
-
I agree. That movie was a miss. I was disappointed in it.
-
-
Have any of you read 'The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy' by Burton?
-
Haha yes! I have it around here somewhere...
-
I love it! I especially liked the Santa one!

Vanity Fair usually does a photospread of the actors in costume whenever a Tim Burton movie is about to be released. They have done it for every movie since Batman Returns with Annie Leibovitz as the photographer. I am on the lookout for Alice Vanity Fair portraits.
-
I LOVE Johnny Dep. And I am pretty crazy about Tim Burton also. sounds like a great film. I look forward to it. -
ok I have to see this. Daughter loves Johnny Depp and any thing tim burton. I am so there. -
I saw those pics earlier today. I will watch anything with Johnny Depp in it. I am really interested in watching his new movie about John Dellinger coming soon. -
[crosses fingers and squeezes eyes shut]Please let Danny Elfman be doing the music...
Okay, I'm ready to check the link, now. I already know I'll be seeing it and will probably own it as soon as physically possible. Burton, Elfman, and Depp are a match made in quirky-film heaven. (Damnit! The article doesn't say.)-
I'm afraid he's not doing it...Michael Higham is the music editor and it doesn't seem that Elfman is involved.
-
He'll most likely be involved:
www.imdb.com/news/ni0585738/
Can't leave the editor with nothing to edit!
Seriously, I can't wait to see ... er, hear what he'll come up with! -
Excellent. What is a Tim Burton movie without Danny Elfman music.
-
Sweeney Todd?
-
Ah yes, that it was. Sweeney Todd was unusual though in that it was just as much Sondheim as it was Tim Burton.
-
-
I cannot wait to see it. I'll go to the damn theater to see it if I have to. -
Now, now, don't get too carried away!
-
-
i love the look and images! fabricmag.com/fabric-magazine-fashion/burtons-alice-in-wonderland-and-daisy... -
They just released the teaser trailer to this movie
teaser-trailer.com/2009/06/tim-burtons-alice-in-wonderland-movie.html-
I can't wait! I really can't! Why release the trailer nearly 8 months before we can see it?! So cruel!!
-
I know-- I looked at that and shouted "March 2010?!" at the screen.
The screen wasn't forthcoming with apologies, either. -
The time will fly by before we even realize it. I remember feeling this way a year ago when I saw the teaser trailer for Harry Potter. Low and behold, it's here and over with.
I think that's the point of the teaser trailer. To build anticipation. -
Well... yes... but.... but... still...
-
I've already been waiting for this film for years! It was always a distant thing and just a future credit on IMDB, but now they've got a trailer and it's like they are saying "We've finished the film, but we're not going to show it to you yet! Mwahahahaaha!"
Bastards... -
I don't think they're done yet. I think they cobbled the trailer together from the scenes that are done. A lot of the movie is in CGI, so even though principal photography is done, my guess is that the movie itself still needs a lot of work.
It's not like Harry Potter which was ready for release last October and they held off because they're bastards. -
But it looks done....and that's all that matters...I hate teasers
-
Hehehehehe.
This is how I feel waiting for the last season of Lost or the next Doctor Who DVD.
Planet of the Dead is coming on DVD next week!

We have the teaser trailer up at our site! Check it out!
