Tim Burton's 'Alice in Wonderland': First-look photos are pretty darn stunning

Categories: Film

The-mad-hatter_l The first photos from director Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland are online, and man, are they stunning. In addition to portraits of Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter, Anne Hathaway as the White Queen (pictured), and Helena Bonham-Carter as the Red Queen, USA Today has some panoramic concept art from the film which will combine live-action and stop-motion and CG animation, and eventually be transferred to 3-D. (It's set to premiere March 5 next year.) What do you think — is it living up to your expectations? Or does it remind you a bit too much of Burton's candy-colored wonderland from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory?

    Sigh. If only I liked Anne Hathaway.

  • PeterBilt The Nature Boy

    It reminds me of every movie Mr. Burton has made. And i’m ok with that.

  • mario

    this looks FANTASTIC!!!!

  • Kara

    i like tim burton but i have a feeling this movie will ruin my childhood….

  • Konfide-N-Me

    AAAAAMAZING!

  • Berna

    They are stunning and weird at the same time. Anne looks awful with that white hair and Helena B. Carter looks really strange. But the pictures from the movie are beautiful. And it’s a shame we have to wait such a long time to see this.

  • Rachel

    what’s up with the neverending stream of remakes going on in hollywood right now?

  • dave

    I’m loving this right now. One of the movies I’m most looking forward to in 2010. This will definitely be visually stunning and the cast is fantastic.

  • Chris

    Depp’s Mad Hatter reminds me of Carrot Top.

  • Ben

    Burton really needs to get help and/or stop making these kind of movies. They just aren’t entertaining. On a side note, just because Bozo the Clown is dead doesn’t mean Helena Bonham Carter can nick his look.

  • Audrey

    The pictures are great, but Johnny Depp looks a bit like Elijah Wood in his.

  • BrandonK

    Looks amazing! It doesn’t really remind me of “Charlie & the Chocolate Factory”…this seems much more fantastical and menacing. Is it just me, or does Johnny Depp look like Elijah Wood as the Mad Hatter?

  • Erika

    Looks incredible. Alice is an unusual and at times dark book–perfect for Burton. And I love to see film take directions like these. Sometimes they don’t work to my taste–I wasn’t a fan of Burton’s Charlie and the Chocolate factory. But sometimes they do and are amazing (Edward Scissorhands).

  • Marty

    The pictures are very beautiful and artistic. Though Johnny Depp looks strangely like Elijah Wood on this one…or vice versa!

  • Todd R.

    Rachael,
    It’s not a remake; it’s supposed to take place 10 years after the first book. Burton used the same characters, but pretty much made it all up.

  • izikavazo

    And we haven’t even seen Crispin Glover yet.
    This is going to be fun.

  • Spider

    Thought I’d share this ROCKIN’ clip:

  • Ruby

    I think these look amazing. I love me some Tim Burton, and Alice in Wonderland is supposed to be this weird and freaky!

  • kal

    Am I the only one tired of seeing Anne Hathaway everywhere?

  • To kal:

    No, if you want to know who a lot of people are sick of seeing, it’s Megan Fox. Talk about overexposure.

  • smartestonehere

    Tim Burton is in serious danger of becoming a parody of himself!
    Having said that, Anne Hathaway as a sexy albino goth: sweet!

  • karena

    They already have a leaked “screener” of the film over here, it’s the full film but doesn’t include some of the final effects.. Anyway it’s over at http://vostuu.com/watch28014.html
    They make you do a little questionnaire thing first for some reason but after that it’s good to go :)

  • Kelly

    Um…does anyone else think Johnny Depp looks like Elijah Wood in that photo???

  • Lula

    Yes! Colorful and twisted, just like it’s supossed to be…No matter what you think of Burton’s take, the truth is that Alice in Wonderland is not an ordinary children’s tale! Love it!

  • Sarah

    I am so excited!!! Johnny Deep looks great and I’m sure that he is going to make the movie excellent!!!

  • Charles

    I didn’t really like the Charlie in the Chocolate Factory remake with Depp/Burton but the original was so good it would have been pretty impossible to improve upon. This film seems to be in the same style but at least there is no notable original film that people will compare it too.

  • beachpup

    Man I can’t wait. Love the original Disney cartoon, this will be worlds better. Awesome.

  • LLM5326

    I love Johnny Depp and Tim Burton’s work together. I wasn’t too into Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, but I can’t wait to see this!! It looks amazing!

  • Barbara

    The Mad Hatter IS Elijah Wood.

  • Allison

    They’re creepy but I cannot look away no matter how hard I try. Anne Hathaway looks awesome!
