TIM BURTON TO MAKE A 3D VERSION OF ALICE IN WONDERLAND

TIM BURTON TO MAKE A 3D VERSION OF ALICE IN WONDERLAND

Well, I’m intrigued by the sounds of this remake. It sounds unique. Tim Burton has just signed a contract with the Walt Disney Company to direct and produce a 3-D film version of Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland.

It sounds great to me, while I wouldn’t say I’ve liked all of Burton’s stuff, he has certainly produced some films such as Edward Scissorhands (1990) and Corpse Bride (2005) that I liked enough for me to be interested in this project. And we mustn't forget the upcoming Sweeney Todd which you’ll probably remember from my earlier (and multiple) posts that I am looking to seeing it. It is almost complete and will be released next month, yehhh.

Alice in Wonderland will begin filming 2008. The adaptation will combine live-action and performance-capture technology.

After that project Burton will be working on his own short film, Frankenweenie. Burton describes the story as "You have a dog that you love, and the idea of keeping it alive was the impulse for the film".

I like the sound of both films; they are ones that I would definitely have a look at.

We had a teacher who was a turtle, we called him tortoise,

Why did you call him tortoise if he was a turtle,

Because he taught us, silly.

I just love Alice in Wonderland, I know I'm just a big kid, so they tell me.

I like Wind in the Willows too.

I like way you think, Techno...I also like Wind in the Willows. Classics, aren't they?

Well, if ever there was a film suitable for a Burton remake, it would be Alice in Wonderland. Very interested to see where he goes with it. While Charlie wasn't too bad, it didn't compare with the original. I think the best film Burton has ever done is Edward. Do you reckon Johnny Depp, will appear in this one too?

Hi Tracy, sounds great!

I agree with Michaelie, this is something Burton can develop in a unique way with his visual style.

Hopefully we get some previews soon.

Cheers,

I'm with Michaelie, the film of Tim Burton's I like the most is Ed Wood, then probably Mars Attacks, then Peewee's Big Adventure ... Alice in Wonderland sounds like a neat idea, just hope he keeps that adult intrigue the original animated feature had.

Hi Lilla

I know, it sort of makes you wonder what will come out of his mind....

I'm looking foward to it too,

Yes, I think you described Burton's talent perfectly, Bryn:

I haven't seen Ed Wood, it's one that I've meant to see, but haven't got around to it yet.

It's also one of Johnny Depp's best performances too ...
