Alice In Wonderland by Tim Burton UPDATE

(a lovely drawing from the book.)

(she'll be playing Alice in Tim Burton's film. i have to say she really does look the part.)

(what's this kitty cat gonna look & sound like?)

o.k. over a month ago, i wrote a blog post about my excitement for Tim Burton's version of Alice In Wonderland. and at that time i didn't know anything about it besides that Johnny Depp was playing the Mad Hatter. well, i got a BIG update now. here we go...

1) it's going to be released by Disney. hm, this means it will prob still be dark, twisted, & creepy because of Mr. Burton...but maybe not too TOO much now so the kiddies won't run away. so i can take my nieces & nephews to see this...if my sisters allow. yay, a great excuse for me to see this more than once at the show. :)

2) it's not going to come out til 2010. darn, that's a long wait but i'm sure it'll be worth it. AND, thank you Tim, it comes out a few days after my birthday, woo hoo!

3) think it's gonna be based off of both books from the list of characters. both books are: Alice In Wonderland of course, & also Through the Looking-Glass and what Alice found there. hm, maybe w/that, i'll get a bunch of new followers...ha ha. ;}

4) here's the list of actors & their characters (sweet casting as expected!):

-Alice: Mia Wasikowska. i have no idea who this is. imdb says she's from australia & studied ballet. she looks very pretty though with her lovely blonde hair and innocent look. good decision Tim for opting for a newbie!

-Mad Hatter: Johnny Depp. but of course. if you didn't know this, you've been living in a cave!

-The White Queen: Anne Hathaway. i'm not really a big fan of hers, but if Tim says she's cool than she will prob rock this role.

-The Red Queen (aka: Queen of Hearts): Helena Bonham Carter. knew it! & so did mike. but of course Mr. Burton's wife was gonna take this role on. i know she won't disappoint...and heads will roll. ;)

-Cheshire Cat: Michael Sheen. again, i don't know who this is. but i think he'll only be providing the voice. i'm very curious, above all other characters, to see what this demented kitty cat will look like according to Burton.

-Caterpillar: Alan Rickman. he will rock this role i'm sure. i can completely picture him as that crazy, hooka-smoking caterpillar.

-?: Christopher Lee. he's not listed to have a character right now but i'm going to guess that he might be the narrator. and that would rule.

and last but never least & the coolest casting in a long time for a Tim Burton film...
-The Knave of Hearts: Crispin Glover!!!. ooo, i love Crispin. can you believe when i 1st looked at the cast of characters, i overlooked him??! and then when i went back, i was like "what? that rules!" so very exciting!!!

EVERYTHING about this film is exciting of course. God, & this film is gonna be a dream come true to me. i mean how can Tim Burton do any wrong with such a great cast & one of the most interesting stories of ALL time. i know this is prob gonna be my fave Burton film ever. (eve is tooooo excited!!!) Keep me updated curious ones & i'll do my best to stay up to date too.~

Here's all the info on IMDB.com

O.K. i gotta get ready for work now, ugh. but i hope you all have a lovely day. take care.~
