Tim Burton + Alice in Wonderland

So I recently heard Tim Burton is doing a version of Alice in Wonderland!!! (It's coming out in like 2010 or something but, hey...)

As I see it,
Tim Burton + Alice in Wonderland= UNBELIEVABLE

Anybody with me?

totally with you

Neon Samurai on Aug 02 '08 at 10:07pm

Me three

Ste7en on Aug 02 '08 at 10:53pm

yeah, but its Disney, so don't expect it to be completely unhinged. As expected, Johnny Depp will probably be in it, playing the Mad Hatter.

kiLLyou on Aug 02 '08 at 10:54pm

um, I'm not too excited

juliejeremiah on Aug 02 '08 at 11:11pm

Part of me really wants to see it.

Part of me wants Tim Burton to stop doing remakes and try and do something original.

BethanyJ on Aug 02 '08 at 11:19pm

I think Johnny Depp would make a great Alice, actually.

MCS4096 on Aug 02 '08 at 11:19pm

it could be great... as long as it doesn't look as plastic-y as charlie and the chocolate factory... more like sleepy hollow or something

FionaB on Aug 02 '08 at 11:23pm

YES

Woss on Aug 02 '08 at 11:35pm

It has potential, but I am not a fan of anything Tim Burton does that isn't animated.

L.T. on Aug 02 '08 at 11:36pm

no thank you

yeah me too, but if he's given enough room to move Alice could still be really cool. i didn't know disney were involved though. that'll probably ruin it.

squatterjohn on Aug 03 '08 at 3:04am

But it is animated. But it's that motion capture crap from Beowulf etc rather than, say, Nightmare Before Christmas.

Merzi on Aug 03 '08 at 8:06pm

I didn't hear it was a disney movie, that kinda sucks some of the excitement out of it...

killerqueen33 on Aug 03 '08 at 8:12pm

!!!!!!!!

ginetteginette on Aug 03 '08 at 8:13pm

i am the opposite of excited :(

Merzi on Aug 03 '08 at 8:18pm

Really? I thought tim burton and alice in wonderland would end up in some sort of magical concoction.

ginetteginette on Aug 03 '08 at 8:24pm

personally, when i see tim burton + remake it equals disaster...

but i'm just not a fan of his in general, though i did really love nightmare before christmas when i was little and his original works i think are pretty good (beetlejuice/edward scissorhands).

i'm still grumpy about his chocolate factory disaster.

Merzi on Aug 03 '08 at 8:26pm

Oh, I didn't think he did such a bad job. I think it was different because that was geared towards a younger audience. But yeah, his original work is sah-weet!

2 days later

To be fair, he's really only done one remake, which was Planet of the Apes.

Charlie & the Chocolate Factory, and probably this new Alice in Wonderland (depending on how it's done) are moreso just new adaptations of pre-existing literature.

J-Ray on Aug 06 '08 at 12:53am

Sleepy Hollow was sort of a remake.

juliejeremiah on Aug 06 '08 at 12:55am

I wouldn't call that a remake, it was based on a well-known folk tale, not a previously shot movie....albeit with perhaps some influence from the Disney cartoon short.

J-Ray on Aug 06 '08 at 12:55am

And The Demon Barber has been done many times as a stage musical.

juliejeremiah on Aug 06 '08 at 12:56am

Ahh yeah I kinda forgot about Sweeney Todd....that's kind of borderline.

J-Ray on Aug 06 '08 at 12:56am

Anyways, according to Wikipedia, Johnny Depp is cast to play the Mad Hatter.

asher27 on Aug 06 '08 at 1:23am

It's gonna be an acid trip. Not that I would know what an acid trip were to feel like, but I'd imagine Tim Burton + Alice in Wonderland = acid trip.

asher27 on Aug 06 '08 at 1:26am

Now that I read that its involved with disney... its gonna be G rated boredom.

BethanyJ on Aug 02 '08 at 11:19pm

I think Johnny Depp would make a great Alice, actually.

^best comment ever.

telaine on Aug 06 '08 at 2:24am

I want to see Tom Petty as the mad hatter ... I loved that music vid as a kid :-)

squatterjohn on Aug 06 '08 at 3:34am

Seriously, has nobody here seen the original Disney movie?

Neon Samurai on Aug 06 '08 at 3:50am

yeah, I have.

So I'm not all despair about this.

mike bautista on Aug 06 '08 at 3:54am

i was skeptic, and the casting for alice got me a bit worried even moreso. i think tim burton can do it, but he really has to work on it. the problem with him is that he tends to do his own take on properties that already have masterpieces. so his is inevitably overshadowed. charlie and the chocolate factory worked okay for me but compared to wonka, you know, it wasn't up to it. and planet of the apes just blowed.

i'm hoping for the best though.

Merzi on Aug 06 '08 at 5:05pm

same here^

And yeah, the previous disney version was a little creepy and messed up. Maybe disney will make this the first r-rated disney movie! Or at least pg-13...hopefully.

If he does it right it could totally rule!

smitten kitten on Aug 06 '08 at 5:07pm

I'm with ya *raises hand*

shirtflirt on Aug 06 '08 at 5:08pm

great, so now we'll get an alice in wonderland meets goth.

more black mr burton

COMING RIGHT UP!

wotto on Aug 06 '08 at 5:09pm

I was with you before you posted this blog - anything Burton is good with me.

Merzi on Aug 06 '08 at 5:10pm

Maybe he'll go the more prepp creepy route instead and push his limits.

martiandrivein on Aug 06 '08 at 5:11pm

I just hope Lindsey Lohan doesn't get the lead. I'll be pissed if she does.

martiandrivein on Aug 06 '08 at 5:15pm

oh thank god... nvm. I think Mia Wasikowska Is alice.

Merzi on Aug 06 '08 at 5:17pm

Hallelujah, you scared me there.

martiandrivein on Aug 06 '08 at 5:19pm

yeah I remember there were talks of Lohan doing it... I'm real excited to see it though.

Monkey X on Aug 06 '08 at 5:21pm

I think it's gonna be awesome.

ginetteginette on Aug 06 '08 at 5:22pm

tim burton is one of the furthest things from an acid trip that i can think of. just sayin'

lordog on Aug 06 '08 at 5:24pm

i like tim burton a lot, but the combo of him and disney kinda freaks me out. i'm hoping for the best, though.

iPear on Aug 06 '08 at 5:29pm

black burton...

that makes me imagine like a Tim Burton version of Don't Be a Menace.

"I have these cheeseburgers, Guv'na"

"I am not interested in your cheeseburgers, you simp!"

"Please sir! I would be obliged to suck on your penis for currency in which I could purchase drugs!"

tesco on Aug 06 '08 at 5:29pm

It'll be cute and sell DVD's. I only read the books recently and thought they were great. People seem to gloss over the fact Lewis Carrol was a paedophile though... he used to enjoy photographing naked children, it's well documented. Why Disney would want anything to do with a paedophile is beyond me, but there you go.

iPear on Aug 06 '08 at 5:30pm

Patton Oswalt's hands are registered weapons, but they still let him do voice work for ratatouille, you know... even after he killed the janitor with a clip board.

Merzi on Aug 06 '08 at 5:34pm

WHAT?! Seriously?

ginetteginette on Aug 06 '08 at 5:46pm

tesco you say that as if it's fact even though it's not. it's pure speculation.

tesco on Aug 06 '08 at 5:49pm

well he enjoyed taking pictures of naked children, that part is not speculation.

Merzi on Aug 06 '08 at 5:54pm

Is Lewis Carrol the author of alice in wonderland?

ginetteginette on Aug 06 '08 at 5:56pm

to say that everyone who takes nude photos of children is for pedophilic reasons is pretty ridiculous.

he was a photographer as much as he was a writer so it's not inconceivable that he strayed into nude photography. there are plenty of photographers even today who take photographs of nude children and as much as they seem to 'disturb' certain ultra sensitives there not pedophilic in nature, like this one:
