This looks amazing. I do agree that his films have gone downhill in recent years but this guy's mind is so complex and disturbing...that's why, even though some films haven't been great, most are, admittedly, fantastic. Even though Charlie And The Chocolate Factory was a bit mainstream, it was still a blockbuster and that's really, all you need. But Alice In Wonderland is such an odd story anyway, it will be transformed by Tim Burton.
Aaaah! Why does he ALWAYS put Helena BC and Johnny Depp i More

Love Tim Burtons earlier movies, but Sweeney Todd and Charlie's choc factory were utter crap. He should stop putting Johnny Depp and his wife in everything - they've got it made haven't they? Burton was best with Edward Scissorhands, Beetlejuice and Batman Returns. Burtons Batman is the best ever! The latest two Batman movies were like gritty thrillers and bats could have been a crooked cop, they've ruined them, bring back Burton! More

I didnt love Corpse Bride. I only watched it the once ( it's there, in my dvd cabinet.....begging for a 2nd viewing, but I just never fancy it.....)
But I enjoyed the rest.........even Planet of the Apes was watchable ( saying that, though, I tend to watch the extras on the disc more than the film itself.What does that say? Hmmm? )

I'm desperate to see this and can't wait, but I hate hate hate hate hate 3D. It's just so pointless and adds nothing to the film other than filming stuff that comes out of the screen - they have to purposely add in bits just so that something jumps out - whereas Drag Me To Hell would have been fucking brilliant in 3D. I wish Tim wasn't bothering with 3D, he's so much better than that. More

The plot for this sounds an awful lot like Frank Beddors book 'The Looking Glass Wars'. Princess 'Alyss' gets transported to Victorian England after a revolt by the red queen in Wonderland. She then escapes from a society party and goes back to help a coalition of characters against the tyranical red.
I wonder if this adaptation owes anything to Beddors book, and if so, why hasn't anything been said about it? Then if they haven't used Beddors book, there is an incredible similarity. Of course, More

I have to confess that I wasn't really a fan of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Gene Wilder and his "World of pure imagination" just can't be topped in either performance, sets designs or songs.
However I won't be writing Alice In Wonderland off... but some of the concept art is feeling in a similar vein.
