Tim Burton's
Alice in Wonderland is moving along at a pretty
good clip, considering how long it took the film to get off the ground. On
Friday, we told you that
Crispin Glover was
joining the
cast, and now there are a couple more updates.
Think of those three new additions and try to see how they fit with Burton, his Alice (Mia Wasikowska), Mad Hatter (Johnny Depp), and a pair of sparring queens (Anne Hathaway and Helena Bonham Carter), all set to a Danny Elfman score. That is one trippy ensemble.
MarketSaw points us to a report by ZDonk about a recent set visit, which makes it sound like the entire production is going to be just as trippy:
"The set itself was insane - the whole soundstage was draped in green-screen material, and there were dozens of motion capture cameras hanging overhead - it seemed like half the crew was there just to figure out how to make all the technologies work together...Johnny Depp was working that day, and I got to see him in character. He looked startlingly crazy - Burton’s take on the Mad Hatter was pretty wild."I don’t want to give away the framework of the story, so all I will say is that Alice and Neo from the Matrix have a lot in common in Disney’s 2010 release…but what does it all mean?!?!"
On a small level, I get a possible connection between Alice and Neo, but would Disney really let this get that dark?

If it's got the potential to make money (and with Johnny Depp, it does), then Disney will do it, I mean, look at Hannah Montana, it's sucks but it's still on TV. I can't wait for this movie!!
umm...what I just said sounded like I was dissing the movie, (haha no, I was dissing Hannah Montana). I just meant that money is the main priority here for Disney, because they've shown TV programs on TV that made money, but weren't very good. But this movie will be good, it's a Tim Burton movie!
