Released:         4^th March 2010 

Title:          Alice in Wonderland

Director:          Tim Burton (Sweeney Todd, Charlie & the Chocolate Factory, Edward Scissorhands)

Starring:          Mia Wasikowska, Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, Anne Hathaway, Matt Lucas.

Lewis Carroll’s trippy classic is re-imagined in this pseudo sequel from the modern master of twisted fairy tales, Tim Burton.  The distinctive gothic aesthetics that the director is so famed for should be a perfect fit for the fantastical source material, and to top it off it’ll all be in glorious Disney 3D.

“a host of big names to play the oddball inhabitants..”

Alongside Burton’s wife Bonham Carter as the Red Queen are his regular go-to-guy Johnny Depp and a host of other big names keen to play the oddball inhabitants of Wonderland.  Some inspired casting sees Depp as the Mad Hatter, another kooky loon to add to his character repertoire, Stephen Fry as the Cheshire cat, and Matt Lucas (he of Little Britain and Shooting Stars fame) as both Tweedledee and Tweedledum.

The eye candy is so sumptuous that the film is already screaming out ‘eat me’, but hopefully the characters, their relationships and the plot (where an older Alice revisits a Wonderland ruled by the evil Red Queen), will be more than just skin deep, justifying a return journey down the rabbit hole. 

4-Word Thinking:           3D Wonderland… curiouser & curiouser…
