Is JACKASS 3 in 3D Arriving in 2010?First Images from Tim Burton’s ALICE IN WONDERLAND - UPDATED
by Matt Goldberg Posted:June 21st, 2009 at 9:50 pm
UPDATE: Yahoo! Movies has added photos for Mia Wasikowska as Alice and Matt Lucas as Tweedledee and Tweedledum. We’ve included these photos after the jump as well.
USA Today has just debuted the first official images from Tim Burton’s 3D adaptation of Lewis Carroll’s “Alice in Wonderland”. I wish I could say that these images are surprising and they are for about the first half-second you see them and then you remember, “Oh, wait. Tim Burton’s directing this. How else would it look?”
Yes, it appears Burton imagination has run wild which is not the best sign considering the last time that happened we got “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory”. Burton managed to restrain himself and do an admirable job with “Sweeney Todd” but judging from these new photos, it looks like the only thing from Burton you haven’t seen before is what a Tim Burton movie looks like in 3D. I understand and applaud directors for having their own style and imprint on material but if it doesn’t evolve and adapt to the specifics of the story, then you’re just homogenizing your output.
While I make no judgments about Linda Woolverton’s screenplay and how this take on “Alice in Wonderland” is worth telling, hopefully there’s something worthwhile there because right now it just looks like Burton has come dangerously close to becoming a parody of himself (again).
I take more hope in Mia Wasikowska who’s playing Alice. She absolutely blew me away with her performance in the first season of HBO’s “In Treatment” and I’m excited to see her lead this or any film.

Looks bizarre and beautiful at the same time.

Completely awesome!!!! Tim Burtons work is brilliant. As for Johnny Depp you can put him in anything any movie and he lights up the screen plus he just so damn hot!!!

because AMG’s Alice deserves much more attention
and as Burton took some ideas from it and army of his fans will praise him as genius after movie release it’s possible that game movie is never going to happen
my opinion - this Alice is WRONG Alice again
ps. hatter looks stupid. like a zombie. red hair? ugh D:
I just love criticism of a movie before it has been seen.
All of you who claim he “got it wrong” aren’t very familiar with the story. These characters look very much like the originals.
The claims that his imagination has gone wild? I’m sorry, I didn’t know the story was written by Jane Austin and is to be done as a straight costume drama, set in a Victorian dining room.
OMG!As a big fan of Helena Binham Carter,I didn’t reconized her! :O I really love the costumes! I reconize Tim Burton in the exageration of the colors and the style of scenes! WOW! It’s all that i can say! This is gonna be good! I can’t wait to see the movie and Helena’s performance (xD)
**Helena Bonham Carter
sorry for the mistake
