Three character pics have emerged from Tim Burton’s upcoming take on classic Lewis Carroll tale, Alice In Wonderland, featuring Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter, Anne Hathaway as The White Queen and Helena Bonham-Carter as The Red Queen. They’re incredibly striking images, and suggest this could be one of Burton’s most striking looking movies in years.
Pitched as a sequel to the original stories,the film takes place 10 years after the originals, when Alice has forgotten about her adventures in Wonderland, but takes another trip down the rabbit hole and is co-opted into a fight by her old friends, to help them overthrow the Red Queen. The movie also stars Michael Sheen, Alan Rickman, Christopher Lee, Stephen Fry, Barbara Windsor (yes, Barbara Windsor’s going to be in a Tim Burton film), Timothy Spall and Mia Wasikowska as Alice. It’s due in cinemas on March 12th, 2010, but take a look below and prepare to get excited.
It’s also worth heading over to USA Today, where they have some interactive concept art showing the incredible world of Wonderland as envisioned by Burton. If the movie looks like the art, it could be fantastic.
