Re: Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland
Interesting. Presumably they're going to be staying away from the playing cards (since I don't see them wanting a third queen), so this is probably going to be more of a Looking Glass adaptation.

Re: Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland
Wow, so far an amazing cast. Tim Burton is my favorite director far beyond any other. I am so looking forward to this film, he's a perfect fit for it. Any word if Danny Elfman will be scoring?

I know, I know, I just want to be sure.

With this casting news (Red Queen & White Queen) he's obviously combining the two books. I'm disappointed.
We've had countless adaptations of Wonderland/Looking Glass through the decades and never once had a good one that keeps them straight and separate. I was hoping that this really was an adaptation of "Wonderland" and that "Looking Glass" would follow later (assuming this movie was successful). Now it appears that he's picking and choosing chapters from each book without regard to which one they came from.
How come know one can seem to keep straight that Alice was different ages in each book, and that one has a playing-card theme and the other a chess theme. I still may enjoy the movie, but I can't help thinking of all the chapters that will be left out.

I absolutely agree. It's my biggest frustration with any Alice film as well - I would love to see a series of two films that are faithful to each individual book.
Still, many of the elements of each story - the White Rabbit, the Caterpillar, the Tea Party, Humpty Dumpty, Tweedledum and Tweedledee - are not necessarily connected to the playing-card or chess themes, and can be easily inserted in either story with minimal effort. And the casting of the White and Red Queens suggests this will be a chess-centric film, which will at least be a change.

Re: Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland
Burton again, with his usual players again with i'm sure the same cinematography and score again...
I'm getting a bit tired of it these days, i hope he actually does something a little different this time but i don't have high hopes.
Good lord, there's nothing worse than the foul stench of desperation when someone wants to be famous.

Re: Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland
Tim Burton working with Crispin Glover! Can it get much better than this? Glover will play the Knave of Hearts!

Re: Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland
With a Knave of Hearts - so much for it being chess-centric. Yet another hybrid adaption.

Re: Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland
I thought that was already known. I have never read any of the books (just seen the Disney film, and that's probably not the truest adaptation out there) but a simple adaptation sounds a bit boring. Everything being shuffled around could be better for the movie. And I'm really psyched that Crispin Glover is in this. He's always great.
