“It has been Burton-ized”

Who needs coffee when you can look at photos of Tim Burton’s new take on Alice In Wonderland??? We brought you the first look of Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter way back in november. But this new pic is colorful, and just as breathtaking as it is alarming. It’s clear in these new photos from USA Today that  Alice In Wonderland will have Burton’s signature all over it… would we want it any other way?

We finished shooting in December after only 40 days. Now the live action is being merged with CG animation and motion-capture creatures, and then transferred into 3-D.

Explained Wonderland producer Richard Zanuck. Everything seems right on schedule for the film’s March 2010 release. He also confirms early reports that Burton’s take will serve more as a sequel to the Lewis Carroll classic.

Alice, 17, attends a party at a Victorian estate only to find she is about to be proposed to in front of hundreds of snooty society types. Off she runs, following a white rabbit into a hole and ending up in Wonderland, a place she visited 10 years before yet doesn’t remember.

So with this continuing of the tale, rather than a remaking, die hards are sure to be more accepting of this retelling than they were of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. And by they, I mean me. Here’s a look at some more eye candy with Helena Bonham Carter as the Queen of Hearts and Anne Hathaway as the White Queen. What do you think of these new photos? Does this get you excited? Or make YOU want to crawl down a hole?

    mhhmm, probably be like WIlly Wonka…. kinda disappointing.

  5. ShaftInferno on June 22nd, 09

    Does anybody else think Depp looks somewhat like Elijah Wood in this picture?

  6. desdemona on June 22nd, 09

    OH MY GOD!!!! BRILLIANT BRILLIANT BRILLIANT!!!! EXCITED!!!! (can you tell?)

  7. Nandingo on June 22nd, 09

    I was thinking the same thing. Looks like Elijah Wood from RotK after he was bit by Shelob.

  8. jonaht on June 22nd, 09

    The Mad Hatter looks like Elijah Wood!

  9. cclifton45 on June 22nd, 09

    im not so sure i like the look of the queen of hearts, but im sure i will love the movie

    Expected it to be much darker visually, but the environmental concept art is terrific. Depp looks like Elijah Wood meets Madonna meets CarrotTop; kinda disappointing. I hope this doesn't turn out like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

  11. Mr. Black on June 22nd, 09

    Anne Hathaway looks hot in this. I really hope this movie turns out good.

  12. ApoloniaDavalos on June 22nd, 09

    Tim Burton's films are not just films, they are a work of art! I am really looking forward to the movies release! Can't Wait!

  13. FiveThumbsDown on June 22nd, 09

    Johnny Depp looks like Carrot Top…

  14. Robrowboski on June 23rd, 09

    Looks interesting

  15. mick lowe on June 23rd, 09

    will be as good as benchwarmers….

  16. izzy on June 24th, 09

    those green eyes, orange eyebrows, and gross fingers are going to give me nightmares… but i'm still sooooooo excited to see this movie!!!!!

  17. BluInkAlchemist on June 24th, 09

    It's my hope that this film has less tangents into musical numbers and more subtle descents into darkness than Tim's Charlie & The Chocolate Factory. That said, I really like Matt Lucas (loved him in Kröd Mändoon) and the rest of the cast is loaded with star power. Hope springs eternal, as they say.

    I'm beginning to think Tim Burton is more concerned with making children cry than making a quality movie. Call me close-minded, but I think the designs for the Queen of Hearts and Mad Hatter have been taken just a little overboard; not to mention the Humpdey Dumpdey twins, or whatever they may be called.

  19. anonymous on June 25th, 09

    Love Burton, Love Depp,… but really? The Hatter's costume is great, dont mind the hair (wish it were white)… but that make-up? Come on?! Rediculous!

  20. Jon on June 25th, 09

    Good thing she's not the queen of hearts.
    She's the Red Queen.

  21. EMH on June 26th, 09

    Mark it 8, dude. Alice in Wonderland = Academy Award for make up.

  22. desdemona on June 26th, 09

    STILL EXCITED!!!!

  23. Paul on June 26th, 09

    cool very nice cant wait to see it!

  24. RIIPo8 on June 28th, 09

    Wait wait wait…..This is the same guy that just whipped his derriere with one of the great story's of chocolate or factory i really don't know i never read the book….Anyways his weird "look" at things is just not so new its old and if he need's to make a movie about a story everybody knows well that's just telling you he don't know what to do next….i just got 4 words for all of ya…Planet of the apes and Batman (or maybe 6) . We all know the back story to this films but yet this guy ruins them…But Big Fish was a great movie so i will watch this movie im really looking forward for this one….

  25. James on June 29th, 09

    ouch hopefully not…and i'm a sandler fan too… :

    Just throwin' this out there, but Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was almost word for word like the book. The old Willy Wonka was really pretty random. Even the songs in Burton's Chocolate Factory were taken STRAIGHT OUT OF THE BOOK. So don't say his "remake" of the old Willy Wonka was a failure, because HE'S the one that got it right. The only thing he added was the backstory with the dentist father, but he had to do something or else, quite frankly, it would have ended like a children's book. I'm super excited about Alice in Wonderland, personally. I didn't know it was going to be a sequel rather than a remake, though. That's interesting.

    It sounds like this isn't Alice in Wonderland at all, but Through the Looking-Glass instead, which IS the sequel to AiW as Lewis Carroll wrote it. I wonder why they're billing it as AiW…
