Check Out These Images of Tim Burton's 'Wonderland'!
Filed under: Classics, Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Exhibition, Family Films, Remakes and Sequels, Images
This week we've got more to look forward to than just Public Enemies. According to USAToday, a collection of concept art and publicity images for Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland will start wallpapering movie theaters. And they're a lot better than the blurry Hatter pic and first concept pieces!Luckily, we won't have to die of impatience to see them, because the site included all the images -- a bunch of huge concept pictures that you can drag your mouse around to explore (like Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum), our first official peek at Johnny Depp's Mad Hatter, plus our beloved royalty: Helena Bonham Carter's Red Queen and Anne Hathaway's White Queen. The leaked Hatter pic doesn't do the full-color version justice, with Depp rocking a killer clown look, and Hathaway looks excellent. But Bonham Carter really takes the cake (and coolest bobblehead ever prize) with her digitally swelled noggin and heart-pursed lips. (Check it out in the gallery below.)
In this incarnation, Alice is a 17-year-old girl who flees a snooty party when she learns that she's about to be proposed to. She follows a white rabbit down a hole, and re-enters Wonderland. It's been ten years since that first visit, and she doesn't remember a thing.
Alice in Wonderland is scheduled to hit screens on March 5, 2010. Excited yet?
UPDATE: Movies.ie discovered the first image of Matt Lucas as both Tweedledee and Tweedledum. Check it out in the gallery above and in larger form over at Movies.ie. [via Slashfilm]

That Mad Hatter picture of Depp is not for the coulrophobic! As Bart Simpson said, "Can't go to sleep, killer clown will eat me".

Anne Hathaway sorta looks like Burton's ex, Lisa Marie, and something about that weirds me out.

Johnny Depp looks like Elijah Wood in that pic. This will def be one of tim burtons best pics I think. Those sets and character designs look amazingly cool.

If I didn't know any better I would say you are right on the Elijah Wood thing.
It would be interesting to know if that is a concept pic or a real full makeup pic. I am leaning to a concept pic.

Looks good, and I'm psyched but I can't help thinking of Charlie & the chocolate factory and the disaster that turned out to be

I don't think it would be advisable to see this movie under the influence of psychotropic drugs...just sayin'. If someone runs screaming from the theater during the movie, that may be the reason...psychotropic influences.

the picture of Anne Hathaway looks beautiful and it might just be me but it also kinda looks like a concept drawing for the Lord of the Rings for some reason.

I'm glad to see that Tweedle Dee and Dumb will be played by Matt Lucas. He has amazing range and plays an incredible variety of characters on the show Little Britain. Looking forward to seeing this one!
@7 - Nice call on Elijah Wood!!

I have to say, Tim Burton has become a bit too predictable for me. I'm guessing this movie will be charmingly morbid and no doubt the score will be handled by Danny Elfman,

I'm with rey-o - Burton's films have become so inevitable in style, as to fit within a cookie-cutter pattern of predictable weirdness. The sets all have that wrought iron/viney appearance, his use of color has become a painful assault on the eyes, he can barely veer off of his usual roster of actors, and the music... well, let's say that Elfman was a cute novelty up until just around Edward Scissorhands - from there, it's all sounded exactly the same.
Frankly, I knew I'd never bother to see one of his movies again, after the joke that was "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory". Why he felt the need or remotest desire to re-make such a neat film is beyond me - it came across as overwrought and completely unintelligent.
I dig weird, don't get me wrong. But Burton's methods have become cloying, annoying and downright dated.
