At last, after long talk, a trailer has been released for this. I personally am ecstatic over this movie. I already was fascinated just by the idea of Tim Burton doing a live action/CG hybrid interpretation of the two Lewis Carrol stories, but now that I've seen the trailer, I am antsy...to say the least.

I want this movie in my hands. Right. Now.

THAT IS SO FREAKING EPIC!!! I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE IT!!! O(^3^)O I♥JohnnyDepp!

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #2 on:** July 25, 2009, 12:09:07 am »

I know, right!?! The Cheshire Cat looks soooooo amazingly creepy, haha

Coconutty93 · « **Reply #3 on:** July 25, 2009, 12:09:57 am »

So creepy! But why is the Queen's head so big?

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #4 on:** July 25, 2009, 12:11:57 am »

Because she is pure ego, heh. She figuratively has a massive head in the story, and Burton saw fit to take that to a literal representation. I think it works really well because everything about Wonderland is so surreal, it makes sense that the only normal looking characters are those without any insanity in their personalities, heh

Coconutty93 · « **Reply #5 on:** July 25, 2009, 12:17:50 am »

Yeah! I can't wait!

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #6 on:** July 25, 2009, 12:20:53 am »

But wait we must.

At least we get 9 in a couple months!

I recall several months ago, I heard about this, and looked up as much stuff for it, as possible.
I'm so ecstatic that Tim Burton decided to do this, and I can't wait for it.
Sadly, I must though, since 2010 is quite some time away. (At least it is, in my mind.)

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #9 on:** July 25, 2009, 11:50:17 pm »

Yeah. Really, it will be here in no time, but it does seem far away.

CloudStrife32 · « **Reply #10 on:** July 26, 2009, 12:06:41 am »

Granted, I think why it seems so far away for me, is because I have sooooo much planned for the rest of this year, it's not even funny...>.o;;

Oh well~! Next year should be a blast, especially when this movie comes out~!

I found these pictures but I cannot seem to find a single one of Alan Rickman as the Caterpillar! D8 Halp?

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #14 on:** July 26, 2009, 09:16:35 am »

Yup, Alan Rickman as the Caterpillar, and Christopher Lee is the Jabberwock! That's crazy awesome. I love both those actors (if you like Alan Rickman, go see Sweeney Todd!).

Coconutty93 · « **Reply #15 on:** July 26, 2009, 01:51:13 pm »

I loved Sweeney Todd! ♥

wolfy2491 · « **Reply #16 on:** July 26, 2009, 04:02:09 pm »

I love all the people they got to play as the characters. lol. But who is the white witch that Ann Hathaway plays? I haven't read Lewis Carrol's actual book, so maybe that's why I don't know. lol.

KogaRyu · « **Reply #17 on:** July 26, 2009, 05:49:52 pm »

Lol, if ya like Alan Rickman go watch Die Hard.

oslapedo · « **Reply #18 on:** July 26, 2009, 05:57:23 pm »

Or Harry Potter!

Yeah, you would have to have read both of Carrol's stories to get the full spectrum of what Burton is doing in this movie. There are two stories, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass, and Burton has essentially mingled the two for the film he's making. The White Queen is from the sequel story, Through the Looking Glass. I definitely recommend reading them because they are just such a joy. Even without the movie coming up, they are definitely worthwhile stories. ^_^

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #23 on:** July 28, 2009, 09:50:36 am »

Anyone creeped out by the Mad Hatter? Depp definitely injected some creepy insanity into it, emphasizing the MAD part, heh.

Syd-chan · « **Reply #24 on:** July 29, 2009, 05:25:04 am »

Oh hoh. I can't wait to see this movie. ....Now I have to go read the book again. 8DD I agree, the Mad hatter looks very creepy. Especially his fingernails. ;;>> I'm curious to see what kind of voice Johnny Depp will use. Something more towards what he did in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, with kind of a sickeningly sweet tone, or more Sweeny Todd.

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #25 on:** July 29, 2009, 05:26:59 am »

I think it is for sure going to be a more high-pitched Willy Wonka toned voice, with a lot of laughs and sniffles, lol.

Syd-chan · « **Reply #26 on:** July 29, 2009, 05:30:27 am »

Ah, I just saw the trailer. I'm smart. ;;>> Johnny Depp looks very creepy. I wonder if this will get a PG rating or a PG13 rating....

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #27 on:** July 29, 2009, 05:35:34 am »

Hmmm, I would guess it probably won't go past PG. Really, Burton is just doing the same thing he did with Willy Wonka. He is making it darker/more surreal, but scary? I don't think so. Not scary enough to get a higher rating, in my opinion.

Syd-chan · « **Reply #28 on:** July 29, 2009, 07:15:01 am »

Well, I know Pirates got a PG13 rating, but that's a whole other genre.

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #29 on:** July 29, 2009, 07:32:38 am »

Really? Hm, I didn't even know that. I guess it makes sense though. Pirates did have death, blood, and murderous cutthroats.

I'm not sure what Alice in Wonderland will be. It really could go in any direction. Too early to figure it out, heh

Syd-chan · « **Reply #30 on:** July 29, 2009, 02:34:20 pm »

xD True. Either way, I'm all psyched about it now.

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #32 on:** July 30, 2009, 06:14:15 am »

I love the way he presented Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum. They look so...ominous, and bulbous. Giant heads, lol. Like the stitched eye kid from Nightmare Before Christmas.

LMAO don't worry too much, the original is ooooold. That and you have about 2yrs to find time to watch it.

But.. But if you havent watched it by then.... you will be Flamed.

Back on topic
Even though im not a fan, Alice in Wonderland looks sweeeeet.

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #37 on:** August 04, 2009, 08:08:57 am »

heh, I should see Tron, and you should read the Alice in Wonderland stories. If you didn't like the Disney movie, you still might like the stories. They are really different from the animated movie.

DancingTofu · « **Reply #38 on:** August 04, 2009, 10:03:35 pm »

Maybe I just need to start reading again. I haven't read a book in 15 months. D:

I'm becoming too much of a hermit; all I do now is play video games and listen to/write music. I've only seen 2 new movies over the last year. D:

I was actually surprised when I went to the theater yesterday, the regal theaters already have posters for Alice in Wonderland up. It just seems so early to be promoting it in that way, still awesome to see though, heh

Gaaahhhhh!!! That movie is sooooo Amazing!!! I was soo upset when I wasn't able to see it opening night. Best SciFi movie I've seen in a looong time.

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #45 on:** August 20, 2009, 11:44:19 pm »

Yeah, same here. I was totally planning to see it midnight showing, but things happened here and there and I didn't get out til Wednesday. It was worth it though, got to see it with my fiancee and an old friend from Cali. Anyway, long story short, fantastic film that really knocked my socks off in several ways.

uraharafreak · « **Reply #46 on:** August 21, 2009, 06:49:38 am »

Yeah, District 9 was awesome! Now the countdown for The Final Destination has begun.

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #47 on:** August 21, 2009, 09:43:29 pm »

haha, indeed.

Anyway, I majorly derailed this thread, so getting back on topic...I am really excited to see the Cheshire Cat. And Kahlan reminded me of the little Oyster Story ("The Walrus and The Carpenter") which would totally fit into the movie. It is so dark and morbid, I can't see Burton not including it in his vision, heh

DemonSpawn · « **Reply #48 on:** August 21, 2009, 09:52:58 pm »

The cheshire cat was always my favorite.

Other than the cute kitten in not-wonderland.
I like cats. XD

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #49 on:** August 21, 2009, 09:54:41 pm »

You and me both. And Kahlan. She's a cat-fanatic, heh. Can't blame her. They are kyuut.
