Back in November last year we announced that filmmaker Tim Burton would be working on two highly anticipated feature films: a full-length adaptation of Frankenweenie and Alice in Wonderland in 3D.
And, oh yeah, did I mention it will also inlcude the helmer’s seventh film with Johnny Depp and potentially his fourth in a row depending on if Frankenweenie somehow hits theaters before Alice’s March 5, 2010 release date.
This article about an Australian film and tv actor or actress is a stub.
In 2008, director Tim Burton cast Wasikowska in his adaptation of the children’s book Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland.
We’ve dissected the Riddler rumors , and there has been a steady stream of talk about Depp playing The Mad Hatter in Tim Burton ’s upcoming Alice in Wonderland.
Mia Wasikowska first appeared in the Australian hit television series All Saints before appearing as a regular in the HBO psychotherapist drama In Treatment with Gabriel Byrne.
Frankenweenie is nothing more than a stop-animation feature film, but Alice in Wonderland is some sort of combination of live-action and performance-capture CGI that will be presented fully in 3D.
In an effort to try nothing new I think we can now assume Tim Burton ’s Alice in Wonderland will be a dark and twisted tale with craggly trees and crooked characters.
Well don’t forget that Burton made Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, a movie that I have quickly forgotten.
She was recently confirmed as being cast to take on the lead role in Tim Burton ’s interpretation of Alice in Wonderland.
Mia is currently filming Mira Nair’s Amelia, a film about pilot legend Amelia Earhart, with Hilary Swank and Richard Gere.
SHOCKER: Depp Confirmed as Mad Hatter in Burton’s ‘Wonderland’ From Rope Of Silicon.
She is currently starring in HBO ’s new series In Treatment.
“I have lived in Canberra my whole life and it’s probably the most opposite you can get.
I could see Tim Burton making a version of Alice in Wonderland that’s very similar to the American McGee’s Alice PC Game back in 2000, and that’s a good thing because I always hoped someone would make Alice’s story a bizarre movie.
Check out this great clip from HBO where Mia Wasikowska describes her role as Sophie, the teenage Olympic gymnast with a life-threatening secret.
The script, obviously based on Lewis Carroll’s classic novel, was penned by Disney writer Linda Woolverton and is being directed by Tim Burton himself.
Its like it tries to be artsy and serious but comes off stupid looking and cheesy I guess that’s a “style” a lot of people like but to call this guy great, I don’t know about that, unless you cream all over for Johnny Depp I don’t see why anyone really likes this director.
But according to an article Tuesday in the Herald Sun, Depp is apparently in talks to play the Mad Hatter in Burton’s adaptation of Lewis Carroll ’s famous novel.
UPDATE: THR has just confirmed that Johnny Depp will indeed play the Mad Hatter in Tim Burton ’s Alice in Wonderland, which is currently in pre-production.
You can help Wikipedia by expanding it.
Depp joins Mia Wasikowska who plays the title character while Matt Lucas will play the dual roles of Tweedledum and Tweedledee.
The Walt Disney-produced project will head into principal photography later this year, with a release in Digital 3-D scheduled for 2010.
