Newly released images of an upcoming Tim Burton production (due out in 2010) of “Alice in Wonderland” offer an alluring peek through the looking glass. Pulling in such exciting and diverse talents as Johnny Depp (seemingly one of Burton’s favorites for his ability to carry through extreme personas), Helena Bonham Carter, and Anne Hathaway. The stunning images show these classic characters recreated as envisioned by Tim Burton… though such lively and dramatic visual interpretations of characters is nothing new for the director/producer, as exhibited in some of his past works like Edward Scissorhands, Nightmare Before Christmas, Corpse Bride, Sleepy Hollow, Big Fish, Beetlejuice, and Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street. Extreme colors and rich details in costume and makeup portrayed in the composition of the images prove that this Wonderland could be more realistic… and in that, could this possibly be more nightmarish, than the illustrations or animations before it?
Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter
“Alice in Wonderland” has always been a bizarre story in a bizarre world on it’s own, and coming from the head of Tim Burton, it’s difficult to know anymore what exactly to expect. All I can say is any Tim Burton fan would be almost maniacally eager at this point about the film.

They could’ve just casted Madonna to play The Mad Hatter and saved up on makeup.
The characterization of the Mad Hatter is perfect in terms of hair and make up; of course, Johnny Depp’s crazy eyes can frighten and hypnotise at the same time. It’s amazing!!!
Two of my favorite things, A Tim Burton film and Lewis Carrol’s Alice story. After loking at the casting and costuming, I’m actually alot less excited, sure Depp is a shoe-in for any Burton film, Depp to me is unfitting for the hatter, as are most of the other characters I’ve seen casted. I’m sure Burton will do the film justice, but I wonder if two rights can go horribly wrong. Tim, my favorite story of all time is in your hands, please don’t dissappoint me.
