Dhsu Posted June 23, 2009 Posted June 23, 2009 http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=56475 http://www.usatoday.com/life/movies/news/2009-06-21-alice-in-wonderland_N.htm And I like how the redblog article mentions American McGee's version. Nerd power! So yeah, to summarize 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 the White Rabbit Alan Rickman as the Caterpillar Stephen Fry as the Cheshire Cat Matt Lucas as Tweedledum and Tweedledee Christopher Lee as the Jabberwock Noah Taylor as the March Hare Crispin Glover as the Knave of Hearts Normally I would be spouting the usual anti-Burton spiel like everyone else right about now, assuming this movie didn't look so FREAKING AWESOME.

The Derrit Posted June 23, 2009 Posted June 23, 2009 i don't even this is going to be insane. in all interpretations of the word Quote
Bleck Posted June 23, 2009 Posted June 23, 2009 Alan Rickman Stephen Fry Christopher Lee oh my fucking god Quote
Flare4War Posted June 23, 2009 Posted June 23, 2009 I don't think this is a movie I could watch. Quote
Atomic Dog Posted June 24, 2009 Posted June 24, 2009 I bet if Tim Burton asked Johnny Depp and HBC to make a snuff film he was directing, they'd do it. Quote

Red Omen Posted June 24, 2009 Posted June 24, 2009 You know Helena Bonham Carter's in all his movies because he's boning her, right? Quote
MechaFone Posted June 24, 2009 Posted June 24, 2009 ^ I knew that. This movie may well be the freakiest movie to be made in some time. I'd go see it just to laugh at Alan Rickman in his silly caterpillar costume. Quote
Ferret Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 wo;iodf,.m/e4uidszserkmfol;oijgerazx/vea6 WHAT WHAT WHAT IS THIS I DO NOT HAVE THE PROPER MENTAL FACULTIES TO COMPREHEND WHAT THE HELL KIND OF DRUGS THEY ARE TAKING THEY MUST BE TAKING ALL THE DRUGS holy shit. Quote
Red Shadow Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 good idea gonna buy a couple squares of blotter and go see it when it comes out Quote
Thylacine Posted June 26, 2009 Posted June 26, 2009 I had mused to myself that Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince would be "Sweeney Todd 2" sans Depp. I think this movie just took that title. It'll be great art, but we're not going to sleep pleasantly for a few weeks after seeing it. You know Helena Bonham Carter's in all his movies because he's boning her, right?Makes me wonder why Johnny Depp is in almost all of the same ones. Quote
Ferret Posted June 26, 2009 Posted June 26, 2009 Probably something to do with his contract, I bet. That and Tim Burton REALLY LIKES puppet people. Quote
Fratto Posted June 26, 2009 Posted June 26, 2009 The same reason why groups of film people always seem to travel in packs. Tim Burton can write for Depp and Johnny will know exactly what Burton wants. Then I imagine that Elfman will do the music because Danny already knows what Burton wants just by reading the script. Then after the movie he'll need a group that he's comfortable with to run a train on HBC. You can't have that kind of chemistry with just any film group. Quote
Eulogic Posted June 26, 2009 Posted June 26, 2009 Then I imagine that Elfman will do the music because Danny will make the exact same music he always makes. I fixed it for you. Quote
Ninja-san Posted June 26, 2009 Posted June 26, 2009 To be honest I'm not much impressed by this movie so far. Tim Burton hasn't had an original bone in him for years and out of all the stories he could have chosen from from he chooses the most obvious already Tim Burton esque story and creates the same characters with the same actors in every other film his done recently. I thought at first the Mad Hatter was Elijah Wood and was excited about. I'm a bitter movie person :\ Quote
reelmojo Posted June 26, 2009 Posted June 26, 2009 The only way I could be happier about this is if American McGee got involved somehow. Quote
The Pezman Posted June 26, 2009 Posted June 26, 2009 I'm guessing this will eradicate any possibility of the American McGee version being filmed. Quote
