Tim Burton speaks about ‘Alice in Wonderland’
The LA Times has an interview with Tim Burton in which he discusses his projects, including Alice in Wonderland — a retelling of the classic story as only Burton could.
“It’s a funny project. The story is obviously a classic with iconic images and ideas and thoughts. But with all the movie versions, well, I’ve just never seen one that really had any impact to me. It’s always just a series of weird events. Every character is strange and she’s just kind of wandering through all of the encounters as just a sort of observer. The goal is to try to make it an engaging movie where you get some of the psychology and kind of bring a freshness but also keep the classic nature of ‘Alice.’ And, you know, getting to do it in 3-D fits the material quite well. So I’m excited about making it a new version but also have the elements that people expect when they think of the material.”
Anne Hathaway, among others, joins ‘Alice in Wonderland’ cast
Anne Hathaway’s role of White Queen in Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland has been officially confirmed. The movie stars Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter and Mia Wasikowska as Alice. Also confirmed today is Helena Bonham Carter as Red Queen.
The movie will use a combination of live action and performance capture. If you’ve seen The Polar Express or Beowulf, then you know what performance capture animation looks like.
The White Queen was banished by her sister, the Red Queen and needs Alice to slay a creature known as the Bandersnatch.
