Will The New Alice In Wonderland Movie Top The Box Office Hits?

Have you heard the buzz about the new Tim Burton bazaar but entertaining movie, "Alice In Wonderland", that is in the works right now? It is in production and is projected to be one of his best films ever made.

The public is anxious to see any bit of footage of this 3-D adaptation although it will be some time because the move is still in the making. Word is that Tim is working on a semi-trailer that we all anxiously await that will give us a glimpse into Alice's bazaar world.

The semi-trailer is a difficult task as well because Tim's team is still shooting the movie live. As Tim explains, "It is a technological challenge of blurring the lines between live-action, motion-capture and animation which is proving to be a massive undertaking. It's a real mysterious puzzle that is frightening and exciting at the same time."

If you are new to the bazaar but entertaining films of this very creative director, you may remember some of his productions like Charlie and The Chocolate Factory, Sweeney Todd, Corpse Bride, Beetle Juice, Edward Scissorhands, Sleepy Hollow, Batman Returns and The Nightmare Before Christmas to name a few.

Tim's re-created Alice in Wonderland displays a cinema of color, graphics, animation and fantasy all colliding in an entertaining 3-D motion picture that will be talked about for years to come.

Alice, played by Australian actress Mia Wasikowska, is now 17 and attends a high society party at a Victorian estate only to be distracted by a White Rabbit, Michael Sheen, who believes she is the "right Alice", says producer Richard Zanuck, and leads her to the fantasyland of Wonderland.

Although Wonderland is wonderful to a certain degree, it is ruled by the evil Red Queen of Hearts, played by actress and Burton's fianc, Helena Bonham Carter, whose favorite retort is "off with their heads!" She overthrows the good sister, The White Queen, played by Anne Hathaway.

There are some dark spins on this movie that only Burton himself can conjure up, like the evil Red Queen's moat filled with bloody heads. But it all adds to the suspense, thrill, fun and entertainment this classic movie will offer.

From the huge, colorful and chatty flowers that take their cue from the talkative trees in the Wizard of Oz, to the garden of topiaries shaped like a giraffe, butterfly and dodo taken from Burton's Edward Scissorhands, you will see a visually surreal interpretation that only Tim Burton can give.

Also, let us not forget the forest of giant mushrooms, the enigmatic Caterpillar played by actor Alan Rickman and the fierce Jabberwock played by Christopher Lee.

Burton gives his long time friend Johnny Depp, the bazaar, looney and colorful role of the Mad Hatter, who is brilliant as always.

Alice has to overcome major hurdles to help her friends reclaim their world back from the evil Red Queen, who is also Tim Burton's fiance. Watch for the movie due in theaters March 5, 2010.
