OMG I just have to do this post & NOW, because the news is getting around fast, and I gotta stay on top of this. It is my BLOGGING DUTY! ;} And this is Tim Burton's Alice In Wonderland. When I was first thinking about doing a blog, I kinda wanted to do it in anticipation for his ALICE film (since I knew it was in-the-making or in-the-thought-process 6+ months back)...doing updates, etc...but this blog turned into more than that...and I'm happy with that but of course ALICE is a big focus here...and Tim Burton is my favorite director EVER so it was a match made in my heaven! ;}

So first I found out about today's ALICE news HERE. That was when I was at work. Then I found out a lil' more on USA Today's website. And then my blogging friend over at Follow The White Rabbit did a post HERE. So READ/SEE all of these posts & pics. I can't really add too much besides I saw the picture of ALICE walking through the gate & was in AWE!!! A-MAZ-ING! And Johnny looks awesome, Helena looks perfect-can't wait to hear her say "OFF WITH HER HEAD!", Anne looks so pretty all in white, and Mia looks innocent and curious as the leading lady-ALICE. It's gonna rule & you know I'll be there opening night!

3 cheers for ALICE...it's gonna be quite a sight to see!
Take care~

First Look at Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland

I'm terrible because I'm not staying on it when it comes to what I'm most looking forward to in 2010, and that's Tim Burton's Alice In Wonderland. I found these pics while at work last night & just had to share 'em. So filming is taking place (well, in these shots) in Cornwall, England. Alice (played by Austrailian actress Mia Wasikowska) is definitely not a child (which I already knew for this film). So I was VERY curious to what kind of clothes she'd be in & I'm not disappointed. I just love her long blue coat.

Underneath her coat, is even cooler clothes-I just LOVE that skirt...it's really beautiful & unique. And I love everything else she's wearing from her cute lil' tie down to her boots. I really LOVE her look. And I'm so anxious to see the other characters now...unfortunately, at the site I went to ONLY Alice shots were on it. (That just probably means no other actors have been filmed yet.) There's some pics of Helena but she's not in costume. And there's also a picture of...

...Tim Burton. Just in case you thought this wasn't his Alice film. There he is, so yes, it's Alice in the making, yay! To see more pics (they are really BIG ones too) and a brief article, please click HERE.

Alice by Burton: Says Wikipedia

hey curious ones. i looked up Alice In Wonderland by Tim Burton at work yesterday (as well as other things) because as you know many things are blocked there now. so i went to the all holy (j/k) Wikipedia to see what they had to say about the Alice film by Tim Burton, and i found out some new things...

-it will definitely be based off both books, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass

-it will be combining live action, motion capture technology, and stop motion techniques

-release date says March 19, 2010...not March 5th, damn it!

-music will be done by the one & only Danny Elfman, yay!!!

-here's some interesting things about the cast & characters:

-Helena Bonham Carter's head will be increased in size 3 times as The Red Queen, but Anne Hathaway's The White Queen character won't have any digital manipulation. Hathaway sums up her character as "cute but psycho, it evens out."

-Alan Rickman (as the Caterpillar) will have his face composited onto a computer-generated character (and that was pretty obvious!)

-Matt Lucas will play both Tweedledee & Tweedledum

-Alice's sister will be in it, but i'm not sure for how long...as well as an "unfriendly" girl Alice knows before she falls down the rabbit hole

-Michael Sheen is in the film but he denied reports that he plays the Cheshire Cat. Another source is crediting him as the White Rabbit...and yeah, what about the White Rabbit? didn't think about him in my last update.

-Christopher Lee, Stephen Fry, Tim Pigott-Smith, Geraldine James, and Frances de la Tour have unnamed roles.

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.~

Alice In Wonderland by Tim Burton

since my page is very alice in wonderland themed, i would like to talk about the film that is rumored to be in the making soon. and that is tim burton's alice in wonderland. this is like a dream come true to me in several ways. 1) tim burton is my all-time fave director 2) alice in wonderland is one of my fave things EVER 3) to take a dark spin on this is gonna be wonderful because people don't really know that the book(s) that disney's alice is based off of is quite dark & twisted. and i love twisted things...and hm, how should i word this-i LOVE "gothic" things. & tim burton knows dark, twisted, & goth things better than any other film director out now!!!

so it is confirmed NOW that the great johnny depp will be playing the mad hatter (so awesome!). happy happy joy joy!!! (BIG thanks to LUNA for the concept pic of mr. depp) i'm going to guess on the other BIG characters: queen of hearts-prob going to be played by tim's wife, helena bonham carter. and how about alice, sweet alice? i'd say dakota fanning or anna sophia robb. helena would make an awesome Queen...and as for alice i chose these young girls, not only cuz Alice is blonde, but because i could actually picture either of them playing her. but anything could happen with tim burton...the girl could have pitch black hair or she could be an adult for all i know. i guess we'll have to wait and see.

OH & prob my fave character of ALICE, the cheshire cat. i love Disney's Cheshire Cat...and seeing him dark & twisted for the computer game several years ago kinda was creepy & very scary. i don't think i liked him THAT dark. i want him to be twisted (like he definitely is) but not TOO dark & not very scary (i know tim will realize children might want to see this, making me wonder what kind of rating this will get). Cheshire Cat-he was funny in Disney and i liked that. not to mention i loved all of his lines, especially "we're all mad here." ha ha. he rules & this film will be a great twist to both a classic book & film i'm sure. can't wait!!!:}
