Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland

Re: Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland

I am a HUGE Tim Burton fan. A Burton Alice in wonderland would be awesome.

Re: Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland

Should be interesting, but the one director I've always thought should get to do an "Alice" movie would be Terry Gilliam.

Re: Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland

I guess this puts an end to the American McGee version, starring Sarah Michelle Gellar. I can't blame Burton, since they sort of missed the window of opportunity there.

Re: Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland

She looks exactly like Aurora Snow. An Aurora Snow you can take home to meet your mother.

Re: Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland

Is anyone else freaked out that her neck is as long/tall as the rest of her head?

Re: Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland

I have no idea who you're talking about. But I'm sure I wouldn't mind taking Aurora Snow home...

Re: Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland

I saw Aurora being interviewed on E!. I have no idea who she is or what she does, though.

Re: Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland

optical allusion, the bottom is her collar one.

Re: Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland

I don't know about the optical illusion. The vertical distance between her chin and her shoulder is pretty big. I am not even looking at the top of her blouse. There is just something off there.

Re: Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland

She looks normal in her imdB shots.

Re: Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland

This exact debate (compliment? insult?) is on her imdb site. I'm sure she's thrilled about that.

Re: Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland

Just so you know, it isn't me. I don't think I've ever posted at the IMDb.

Re: Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland

Riiight... and you only know Aurora Snow from her appearance in Superbad. I believe you.

Re: Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland

When I first saw this, I thought this might be American McGee's Alice. Of all the video games that could make an interesting film, I've never understood why that project never got off the ground.

Re: Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland

I wouldn't ask you to believe me on the latter, as the trailers for Superbad were enough for me. But, it's not me on the IMDb page. I agree with your implied distaste at having the actress have to see the discussion on her IMDb profile, for one thing. For another, the thought of going to the IMDb to post never crosses my mind. Any time I read the messages there, it's as bad or worse than the AICN talkbacks.

Re: Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland

Man, Tim Burton seems to really like working with Depp.

Re: Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland

At the cost of finding someone more appropriate for some of the roles Burton has had him play, IMO.

Re: Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland

Off the top of my head, I'm sure these pairs had more than seven: Ford/Wayne, Kurosawa/Mifune, Kurosawa/Shimura, Allen/Farrow.

Re: Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland

Years ago I would have felt confidence with Burton taking on my favorite story of all time...not now. Hopefully he can at least give us a Sleepy Hallow this time and not a Charlie & the Chocolate Factory.

I'm liking the casting so far!

Depp should be good in that role. In fact, Sparrow isnt my favorite character of his by a long shot, but the Sparrow thing might just work good for Hatter. Just play it a little more energetic and manic.

The look of Alice is great! Very happy with the look of that actress. My favorite Alice was Fullerton from the '72 musical version but she was a little too thin and her face not animated enough. The actress from the Hallmark miniseries had a wonderfully animated face and looked a lot like the old illustrations. But looking at this actress Im happy the most important role is filled...at least in look. Can she act?

Re: Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland

Yeah, she's looking good! Although "Australian" is a little troubling. I need a British Alice. I hope she changes her accent properly.

Re: Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland

My gosh, yes, she can act. She played one of the patients in the HBO series In Treatment - a teenage gymnast who may have attempted suicide. It was an extremely challenging role, in a show that basically required her to sit in a room and acting purely through dialogue with Gabriel Byrne, and she held her own brilliantly. (In fact, in my experience many In Treatment fans found Sophie to be our favourite patient.) When I heard that Mia Wasikowska was cast in the role, I was delighted, since it seemed like great casting of a brilliant young actress.

Curious where the ship comes in - I don't remember a ship anywhere in the books. But I'm looking forward to this one.

Yeah, just a little rowboat!

Glad to hear she can act. I can't wait to see what they do with my favorite story.
