As only Tim Burton can — through weird and wonderful glasses. Here’s some first images from his upcoming Alice in Wonderland, due out spring 2010:
Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter. That guy never does anything half-ass … he looks amazing — and kinda scary. But of course, that’s Burton’s M.O.
Helena Bonham Carter (and Burton’s real-life love) as The Red Queen. She’ll be awful and terrifying, no doubt.
Anne Hathaway as the lovely White Queen. I need to read Lewis Carroll’s story again; I don’t remember The White Queen.
Alice is being played by relative newcomer Mia Wasikowska. She’s not new to me; Mia gave a devastating performance on the first season of HBO’s In Treatment as a suicidal teenage gymnast. She should be excellent as Alice.
And finally, a first glimpse of the set. I do believe Burton was born to make an updated Alice in Wonderland.
