The Much Anticipated Release of Alice In Wonderland Has Fans On Pins And Needles

If you have not heard the buzz in town about Director Tim Burton’s new production, “Alice In Wonderland”, you soon will because it is projected to be one of his best films ever.
The public is anxious to see any bit of footage of this 3-D adaptation although it will be some time because the move is still in the making. Word is that Tim is working on a semi-trailer that we all anxiously await that will give us a glimpse into Alice’s bazaar world.
Because the movie is still shooting live as we speak, the semi-trailer will be a “massive undertaking” says Director Tim Burton. “It’s a technological challenge of blurring the lines between live-action, motion-capture and animation. It’s a real mysterious puzzle that is frightening and exciting at the same time.”
Some of Tim Burton’s bazaar but entertaining films include Edward Scissorhands, Corpse Bride, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Sleepy Hollow, Beetle Juice, Charlie and The Chocolate Factory, Sweeney Todd and Batman Returns.
Alice In Wonderland will be another one of Tim’s ingenious recreations of fantasy and animation mixed with a cinema of color and graphics all colliding together in a very entertaining 3-D motion picture film that will have you talking about it for many years.
Alice, played by Australian actress Mia Wasikowska, is now 17 and attends a high society party at a Victorian estate only to be distracted by a White Rabbit, Michael Sheen, who believes she is the “right Alice”, says producer Richard Zanuck, and leads her to the fantasyland of Wonderland.
But this place is quite different from the Wonderland we all know. Ruled by the evil Red Queen of Hearts, Helena Bonham Carter, whose favorite retort is “off with their heads”, overthrows the good sister, The White Queen, played by Anne Hathaway.
There are some dark spins on this movie that only Burton himself can conjure up, like the evil Red Queen’s moat filled with bloody heads. But it all adds to the suspense, thrill, fun and entertainment this classic movie will offer.
From the huge, colorful and chatty flowers that take their cue from the talkative trees in the Wizard of Oz, to the garden of topiaries shaped like a giraffe, butterfly and dodo taken from Burton’s Edward Scissorhands, you will see a visually surreal interpretation that only Tim Burton can give.
Stroll through a forest of giant mushrooms and meet the enigmatic Caterpillar, Alan Rickman and the fierce Jabberwock, Christopher Lee.
Burton gives the colorful Mad Hatter role to his long time friend, Johnny Depp who plays the part brilliantly as to be expected. Besides being nuts, The Mad Hatter is more colorful, funnier and deeply rooted in a more humane position.
Alice has to overcome major hurdles to help her friends reclaim their world back from the evil Red Queen, who is also Tim Burton’s fiance. Watch for the movie due in theaters March 5, 2010.
