Alice in Wonderland

I am officially in the long list of people eagerly awaiting Mr. Tim Burton's newest creation: Alice in Wonderland. Unsurprisingly he is using some of his favourite cast to recreate this children's classic story, with a dark side of course.

If you have been in a hole for the last year, I will enlighten you. Burton uses a technique of combining live action and animation to create an updated version of the original stories Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass by Lewis Caroll. Johnny Depp plays the Mad Hatter, whilst Burton's wife, Helena Bonham Carter plays the rather terrifying Queen of Hearts (see images above).

The film is out in the UK, nationwide on March 5th, 2010. And of course 2010 is the era of 3D cinema, so of course this is the only way to watch Alice in Wonderland. Maybe even IMAX if the budget stretches...hmmm...
