I'm extremely excited about this And I think Matt Lucas is going to be ideal for TweedleDee and TweedleDum (he confirmed it on last weeks Friday Night With Jonathon Ross by the way ) And if there was some HBC bashing going on then - cease and desist! She's an extremely talented actress away from Burton, in my eyes she's even better. Noone could have played her role in Fight Club any better.

Hah I do but that's not the reason I'm for her being in this film. If an actor and director, regardless of relationship, have a good repoire, why split that up? :S

wait! she is in this too? *grumbles* she better not screw it up. Yes she does weird well, but sometimes i wonder if someone else would be better suited to the role.

Oh wow, that looks amazing! Alice In Wonderland is generally pretty dark and twisted anyway, it's just due to Disney's target audiences that side was played down a fair bit. If Jabberwocky had made it into the film like Disney had originally wanted, it might have been different. I think Burton's approach is gonna be extremely refreshing

That's not really what it seems like to me, and I own every movie Tim Burton has ever made, no matter if I liked them. This just seems like it belongs in some grade B horror film, not in a Tim Burton masterpiece. I'm a huge Burton fan, but I'm sorry... No. It can be over the top while still working, like Edward Scissorhands, Beetlejuice, etc. - this is just... No... I really hope that it doesn't stick like that. To me, that's not Tim Burton, to me it looks more like someone tried to emulate his style and went too far.
Yes, I know AiW is like in actuality. I read it when I was six, and again this year in English for a rhetoric assignment. Its not dark though, it is very far out there, very nonsensical. [/blockquote]

Wouldn't you say its dark? =/ I suppose that the idea of dark is subjective really...
A mad hatter, a march hare, nonsenical plot points thereby depicting the idea of social breakdown, a Queen constantly demanding decapitation.....I'd say it's pretty dark - as most fairytales and classic kids tales are! Just not obviously so.

It wasn't really made to be a kids tale or a fairy tale though. Lewis Carrol made it to be a ficiton novel about his trips to "wonderland" with his underage neighbor, not a fairy tale - society now has just turned it into one. Its not dark at all by the standards of the time. And its still not very dark for this time.
