Marvel at the Teaser Trailer for Alice in Wonderland

BuzzSugar — Wed, 22 Jul 2009 12:00:30 -0700

Sure, the pictures were great- but they can't compare with finally seeing Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland in motion. Today brings us the first teaser trailer, and it's such a delight to finally see Burton's mystical take on Alice coming to life. This saturated, stylized take seems a far cry from the fairytale-like TV movie I remember watching as a kid.

As the Mad Hatter, Johnny Depp gives this teaser an appropriately creepy voiceover as we watch Alice (Mia Wasikowska) tumble down the rabbit hole and end up in a magical fantasy world where potions make you shrink, green-eyed cheshire cats grin hauntingly, and impatient rabbits keep time on a ticking pocket watch.

The movie also stars Helena Bonham Carter, Anne Hathaway, and Alan Rickman. This is one movie I definitely can't wait to see on the big screen. If you feel the same, mark your calendars for a very important date: March 5, 2010.

Now, to check out the teaser and more posters, just read more.

Johnny Depp to Play Mad Hatter in Burton's Wonderland

BuzzSugar — Wed, 24 Sep 2008 16:34:17 -0700

Disney has formally announced today that the Mad Hatter in Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland movie will be played by Johnny Depp (of course!). The Hollywood Reporter has the scoop:

Depp and Burton. . . have formed one of the longest-running director-actor partnerships in modern Hollywood. And so when Burton committed to filming a new live-action/CG version of Alice, Depp was touted as the most likely candidate to play the Mad Hatter - after all, having worked with Burton on Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, he's practiced in wearing a top hat.

We also have a Tweedledee and Tweedledum - er, we have a Tweedle. Matt Lucas will play both Tweedledee and Tweedledum.

The Johnny Depp news is no surprise, really, but it's exciting to know that it's a done deal! I wonder if the next announcement will be that Helena Bonham Carter is the Queen of Hearts?

The Search Is Over: Tim Burton Chooses His Alice!

BuzzSugar — Thu, 24 Jul 2008 12:30:17 -0700

Australian actress Mia Wasikowska is the lucky girl who will portray Alice in Tim Burton's upcoming film for Disney, Alice in Wonderland. You may not recognize Mia right away but she's not a complete unknown either: She's been steadily making a name for herself, working opposite big names on both television and in the movies.

Mia is a series regular on HBO's In Treatment, will appear in the drama Defiance starring Daniel Craig and Liev Schreiber, and will play the young Amelia Earhart in Amelia starring Hilary Swank.

Rumors have been swirling as to which young actress would nab the coveted role and you guys even threw in your own suggestions. I've heard great things about her from fans of In Treatment, but what do you think? Have you ever seen her on the HBO show? Does she look like the kind of quirky, cute Alice that might be good in a Tim Burton project?

Who Could Play Alice in Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland?

BuzzSugar — Mon, 07 Jul 2008 11:30:02 -0700

I can't wait to see what comes out of Tim Burton's imagination when he applies it to the classic Alice in Wonderland story with his live-action/motion-capture (like the Beowulf animation, plus live actors) adaptation. But of course, even with Burton's creative genius, casting is still (almost) everything. So who could play the innocent young Alice who goes on such a trippy adventure?

Rumor has it a virtually unknown 23-year-old actress named Ryan Nikole Parker will take the role - though apparently Evan Rachel Wood was initially supposed to have it and she backed out.

Perhaps a fresh face will be perfect for this part, so there are no preconceived notions about what our new Alice will be like. But if you had your druthers, who could you see playing a Tim Burton-y Alice?
