Hey all!
I’m surprised I haven’t heard more buzz about Tim Burton’s take on Alice in Wonderland that will be hitting theaters in 2010.
While there are no pics of Johnny Depp as The Mad Hatter present in the above-linked thread, we do get to see several candid “first look” shots of Mia Wasikowska as a rather pale (and borderline gothic-looking) Alice.
Tim Burton casting a pale and borderline gothic version of Alice?
Really?
What were the chances of that?!?

seems like his M.O. he probly won’t say outright “goth”, probly spin it and say something like “dark-victorian” or something. whatever. it’s a pretty style and sets him apart.

If it’s entertaining, I’ll be happy. And if it’s a haflway decent adaptation, I’ll be thrilled, given that the best ones we ever got were the Disney version and the Hanna Barbera one with Sammy Davis Jr.

There have been some shots of Depp as the Mad Hatter released, and they look exactly like you expect.
I’d think Burton is intentionally descending into self-parody but I don’t think he’s that aware of what he’s doing.
