I can't help but be excited!


Have you all seen one of today's headlines!
Alice in wonderland is having a makeover! A modern version of all those quirky mottos and ideas...
Do you reckon it'll maintain it's innocence even though drugs were always the underlying theme.
or are we so corrupt that we might not be able to recreate the innoncence that was? Or will it be too childish and fun? I hope not. Tim Burton's usually capable of catering for us all.

I'm not at all sceptical. Just a little questioning. Curious.

EXCITED!
This sounds fantastic.
The already weird and wonderful world of Alice in Wonderland just got weirder after a 21st-century makeover from offbeat director Tim Burton.
Here are the
first images released by Disney from the reworking of Lewis Carroll's classic tale by Burton, who last pushed the boundaries in another children's classic - 2005's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
Johnny Depp is almost unregonisable as the Mad Hatter, whilst the ensemble cast of Anne Hathaway, Matt Lucas, Alan Rickman, Stephen Fry and Helena Bonham Carter make it one of 2010's most eagerly awaited movies.
Little-known Australian actress Mia Wasikowska, is playing a much older Alice, who as the slightly amended story goes, flees a party after spotting the White Rabbit and follows him down a hole and into Wonderland.
As well as the startling transformations by their costumes and make-up, the actors' features have been digitally altered, making them look far removed from their normal selves.
"It has been Burtonised" is how producer Richard Zanuck describes the director's vision in an interview with
USA Today.
Of Depp's seventh collaboration with Burton, Zanuck laments "this character is off his rocker".
