Tim Burton's "Alice in Wonderland"
 

Hey folks Harry here with perfect casting - Now - if we could get Javier Bardem as the Queen of Hearts. That's probably just me. But it'd freak the world out and he'd be astonishing as the Queen of Hearts.

dAnielitro here...

Today I read this on MSN NEWS Latin America.... http://noticias.ar.msn.com/articulo....mentid=8944484

I'll translate the first paragraph:

Actor Johnny Depp was chosen to play "Mad Hatter" in Tim Burton's version of "Alice in Wonderland". Burton was hired by Disney studios to make the 3D version if Lewis Carrol's classic. Depp is the second confirmed cast member. Australian Mia Wasikowska will play Alice.

Thanks for this awesome site!

Anyone think I meant Batman? ;)

i totally thought you meant Batman. ahaha Alice in Wonderland is still cool I guess. I have a 1954 illustrated library version of the book, plus Through The Looking Glass on my night table right now.

No. I didn't.

........................

Bout time Burton did this...

Interesting!

I seem to remember Jonny Depp playing Lewis Carrol in something:confused:

I only like burton's animated stuff now

Aaaawwww.. that's so cute.

Maybe you and Amalthea should exchange phone numbers. :)

And fluids.

Sounds much better coming from you, than an old pig like me. ;) Oink

Guess what, Rory? Burton's Alice In Wonderland IS going to be a live-action animated CGI flick.

Very much in the vein of Beowulf.

Really? I always thought his animated stuff was his weakest...

Alice in Wonderland should be interesting coming from Burton, I love his design and vision.

I think that it would be quite unique - Edward Scissorhands meeting The Nightmare Before Christmas.

I thought Depp was remaking "Dark Shadows" with Burton?

Are they alowwed only one film?

i really think Depp is extremely talented, but is downplaying his talent in these 'dark' kid movies. (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, now this)

"Imaginarium" and "Public Enemies" sound like they'll shape up to be nice, and he's still rumored for "Sin City 2" and 3. And he's making "The Rum Diary" but I haven't read the book, so I can't say whether that will be good or not. So he's still got some adult films coming out.

I could have told you Burton was going to get Depp for this movie.

ughhhhh. you just used Depp and adult films in the same paragraph. Talk about a let down when I stopped scanning and actually read.

But you didn't, did you?

"Public Enemas?" "The Bum Diaries?"

hahahaha



hahahahhahahahahhaha


ew.

Ahem* cough, cough, AHEM:rolleyes:

He does have an IMDb profile y'know...

Yes, but that would be too convenient...and I wouldn't get to irritate you baby;)

I think it's great that he varies his movies, he really has a catalog that has something for any age group.

Depp and Burton are totally Bum buddies.

Sweeny Todd
Edward Scissorhands
Ed Wood
Corpse Bride
Nightmare before Christmas
Charlie and the Chocolate factory
sleepy Hollow

Let me know if I missed something. I bet he would have put him in Batman if he could.

That said, I like the pair. Depp is just that level of freaky cool that I like (and not a total douchebag like so many other actors) and Burton always has his little creepy artsy thing going. They work well together.

Depp once said he'd have sex with an armadillo if Burton asked him to for a movie.


Seriously...

This should be very good. And who better then J.Depp to play the Mad hatter.Im sure he will fit the role perfect.

He played JM Barrie (writer of Peter Pan) in Finding Neverland.

Johnny Depp as Mad Hatter... honestly, and everyone's gonna hate me for this, it seems a little done. Actually, everything about Tim Burton directing Alice in Wonderland feels a little too perfect, in a way.

Like, it's too obvious - of course Tim Burton would direct Alice in Wonderland, I'm surprised no one's suggested it before. But it's getting to the point where Burton (whom I adore, don't get me wrong) has a monopoly on every weird, creepy, sorta dark fantasy/horror movie, and it's gonna start getting predictable. And the last thing we want is for Alice in Wonderland to be predictable.

Like, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was a good movie. It was creative and well-directed. But nothing surprised me about it - every aspect that made that movie creative and creepy was something we'd expect Tim Burton to do. Same thing with Sweeney Todd - the insane violence was less effective, at least for me, because I expected it.

So even though I'd definitely watch Burton do Alice in Wonderland, I feel like I already know, basically, how it's gonna look, and that it's gonna be creepy and weird in the usual Tim Burton-esque way. Which, unfortunately, may make it forgettable to most people, especially when compared to Burton's best movies, like Edward Scissorhands.

personally, I'd rather see a newer directorial talent take on an Alice in Wonderland film made for adults. Guillermo del Toro would be ideal (he's doing the Hobbit), or Alfonso Cuaron or Timur Bekhaptyev (spelled that wrong - he directed Wanted). Or someone totally unexpected, because sometimes the least obvious directors are the best for a particular movie. Like who would have expected 'that Aussie dude who made those zombie films' to make Lord of the Rings. Or 'the dude who made Memento, I think' to be the best thing to happen to the Batman franchise in years.

Depp had nothing to do with Nightmare.

I'm sure most people already knew there was going to be violence in Sweeney Todd. It's been a very popular for, what? 30 years now?

Yeah, because people who work so well together they do it frequently are gay. Kevin Smith is banging Jason Mewes, Jason Lee, Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, Chris Rock, George Carlin, Brian O' Halloran, and Jeff Anderson. And not to mention Judd Apatow's been inside of Seth Rogen, Jonah Hill, Paul Rudd, Steve Carrell, Will Ferell, John C. Reilly, Adam Sandler, Jason Segel, James Franco, Martin Starr, and Jay Baruchel.

Well, I'm sure turned on right now.

I probably won't see this now, just for the fact that Johnny Depp is in it.

QT's and RR's Fuck Lists >>>>>>>>>

I know. I didn't feel like typing anymore.

Burton's Alice in Wonderland seems too predictable. Considering the biting satire, the punning , the dream language and the harshness of it all, I'd say Jodorowsky would be the only director who could do Alice justice. Possibly Terry Gilliam.

Yep, gay all over each other. BTW, Christina Ricci and Depp are also bum buddies, and totally gay for each other.

It was also said that this will be a sequel of sorts. I can't fucking wait.
