I agree it is perfect for him. I don't know sometimes if I like his dark take on everything. But it may be a must see.

yes - this is a perfect one for Tim Burton
hope Danny Elfman does the soundtrack for it also

Yes, this is right up Tim Burtons alley. More like Alice in Nightmareland, instead of wonderland. Anne Hathaway as the White Queen. Does this mean the Queen is into.... well you know?

sweet - I had that game long ago
built on the Half-Life engine

tim burton + johny + american mcgee = awsomeness overload.

It's been on my mind lately...

-Just read "Alice in Wonderland" this week during my commute.

I loved the game. some "painful parts",(some monotonous parts, too) but the cut scenes, the cat, the music,(They used some funky old toys to make the creepy stuff) all very very cool. I liked the intro.

Make two of the "Alice" paper models. Pretty cool.

I have the Alice and Cat figures. I liked the cat...

Yeah, Fun game. Great "late at nioght game". Loved the "swirly sky" graphics. I thought it used the Quake(III?) engine (might be wrong)...

I think they might be making a different Alice movie too...(more closely based on the game) That might have been shot down, though...


Need more games like this...!

Hope the movie is well done.


edit: Glad Clive Barker wasn't involved... that would have ended up being "Alice in Hellraiserland"

the burton one is based on the game, he wrote the bases years ago after playing it, i read an interview with him about the movie, he stuck the script in his desk, just ran across it not long ago and said "i think its time", trying to remember what mag the interview was in....

I definitely would like to see this one. It will certainly be a trip.

WOW. The visuals alone make it a must see.

Danny Elfman IS doing the Soundtrack
Danny Elfman + Tim Burton + Johnny Depp + Burton's wife, Helena Bonham Carter = 100% Guaranteed awesome movie!

Heh, didn't know she was his wife...

They should hand out pills or pieces of mushrooms to enhance the viewing experience!

While I like some of Burton's work and this does look promising, I have to disagree. This is not a slam dunk. Burton has put out some real garbage. Just my oppinion though.

hmm better store some shrooms for this one

I don't know, shrooms and

Anne Hathaway as the White Queen


I don't think my heart could take it. She is scary enough looking in that picture, without any hallucinogenic help.

Word has it it's BYOH (Bring Your Own Hallucinogens)

Looks like a typical Tim Burton movie...Although I think David Bowie would make a better Mad Hatter

That's a good idea. That or Elton John. He already has the hat.

*head asplode*

(yeah, American McGee's was on the Quake III engine for sure, NOT Half-Life)

SIIIICK. I like it

Although Elfman on the music...Could be good, could be meh, but at least it won't be bad.
I agree on Bowie for the mad hatter role...Anybody remember Labyrinth? (Although Johnny Dep's not a bad choice either...).

Hope they don't water it down and totally screw it up like they did with Doom (That could have been SO awesome but nooooo...).

wow... a new movie that looks awesome!!

Only reason I said David Bowie for Mad Hatter is because of Labyrinth

Johnny Depp isn't a terrible choice, but it seems like Tim Burton and him go hand in hand anymore...Kinda ruined the whole Willy Wonka thing IMHO....

I had heard that Marilyn Manson was to play a part in this movie. Anyone else hear this?

I think Depp is legally required to be in any new Tim Burton film along with Helena Bonham Carter. Not sure how he got out of Planet of the Apes, but other than that I think he has been in, or voiced a character in, every Burton film since Edward Scissorhands.

PURE AWESOMENESS!!!
