Tim Burton makes the same movie everytime. He gets Johnny Depp and his wife signed on, changes a few constumes, and bingo. I like HBC though.

I’m really looking forward to this one. Alice in Wonderland has always needed a severe dope fiend at the helm, it’s the only way to actually be willing to put the imagery on screen.

Time to drink absinthe and enjoy Lewis Carroll in 3D IMAX.
( definitely will need a designated driver.. probably couldn’t watch it otherwise.. Always bring a six pack in your closed umbrella to any Tim Burton movie... That way you can always throw your bottle at the screen during the really bad parts...I know how do you tell the really bad parts? answer - They usually start just after the credits.}

Not enough “Alice in Wonderland” adaptations in the world. What we really need is more versions of “A Christmas Carol” or “Peter Pan,” or yet another “Romeo & Juliet” as well. I just love retreads made out of rehashed dead horse.

Fantasy, not scifi, but you might be interested.

'I read the Lewis Carroll stories over and over again, and I learned everything I could about Victorian times,' Depp says. I guess you could say Alice in Wonderland was about Victorian times, but I always thought Carroll's stories were acutally political commentary, disguised as fantasy, to ensure he didn't hear the words "Off with his head."

Just a thought: Not that Johnny Depp isn’t an excellent choice as the Mad Hatter...but since they got Stephen Fry to voice the Cheshire Cat, it strikes me Hugh Laurie wouldn’t have been bad either.
