Get ready for Tim Burton’s “Alice in Wonderland”

Update Teaser Trailer:

Burton’s version will be a sort-of sequel in which a 17-year-old Alice returns to Wonderland, allowing for a darker, more adult-orientated vision that takes in characters and storylines from both Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass. Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter,  looks scary enough to have most small children running screaming from the room in terror.

You do rather wonder if the Disney executives knew exactly what they were getting themselves into when they hired Tim Burton, the maverick mastermind behind Edward Scissorhands, Beetlejuice and Corpse Bride, to take on Lewis Carroll’s famous tale, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, a classic of children’s storytelling since its publication in 1865. Certainly, if they were expecting something cosy and comfortable, bright and dreamlike, they are going to be rather disappointed. Burton’s version, shot in a mix of live action and performance capture CGI, looks dark as all hell, lurid, and unearthly. It also looks pretty fabulous!

“Alice in Wonderland” directed by Tim Burton from the script by Linda Woolverton is scheduled to hit theaters on March 5th, 2010 in both Disney Digital 3D as well as regular 2D.
