Everyone’s clamoring to find information on Tim Burton’s “Alice in Wonderland”. Hence the sudden burst of views on my stats – a confidence booster, until I see that they’re all searches for the Mad Hatter. Fine! You want him? You got him.

Speaking of “him”, today’s the “Public Enemies” premiere. Sadly, my plans to go fell through when Miya told me that she might not be able to make it. I’m not about to brave crowds of eager fans and fangirls, Johnny Depp or not. Because I am a lethargic fatteh. I will still mope over the loss of possibly winning 1 of 10 free tickets and seeing Johnny Depp in person.

Because of all the views, I thought I might as well cater to the masses. So here is the rest of the art that I’ve found. First up is Alice, played by 19-year-old Mia Wasikowska. She’s apparently the only character not touched-up too much when transferred to the 3D animation. I’d imagine to make her normalness stand out.

Next is the Red Queen, played by Helena Bonham Carter. Her head was enlarged three times for this role. Huzzah? Very elaborate outfit though.

And of course, there’s the White Queen, played by Anne Hathaway. At first I was skeptical, but she’s growing on me. “Tropic Thunder” : Ben Stiller, as “Alice in Wonderland” : Anne Hathaway? Maybe.

Finally, Tweedledee and Tweedledum, both played by Matt Lucas of “Little Britain”. Here are two fattehs to add to the Fatteh Hall of Fame.

Right next to Momma.

If you’re being a cynical poop and thinking that you’ve seen all this before, so you have. Here’s something you may not have seen, but then again…maybe you have.

Click on the links in the article – they’ll take you to a somewhat interactive introduction to Wonderland.

Some other actors who have returned to work with Tim Burton are Alan Rickman as the Caterpillar, Timothy Spall as the Bloodhound, Christopher Lee as the Jabberwock, and Noah Taylor as the March Hare. Crispin Glover will play the Knave of Hearts, Stephen Fry the Cheshire Cat, and Michael Sheen the White Rabbit. Alan Rickman as the Caterpillar – it seems so perfect once it’s brought up. Anyway, I can’t wait for “Alice in Wonderland”, but first there’s “Public Enemies”, which opens July 1st. Except maybe not in my complacent city, where it may open July 3rd. Sadly.

I hate to just reiterate what others have said, but it’s really the only information that’s out there right now.

Find everything I was too lazy to write here: http://www.timburtoncollective.com/tbcnews.html

I’ll try to keep up with more news, since that seems to be what people are coming here for right now.

I keep having to refrain from saying things like, “Johnny Depp has worked with Tim Burton over six times now,” and “Helena Bonham Carter has two children with Tim Burton”, and “They share an adjoined house”. I think that movies are separate from all of that, and if they work well together, they should keep working together even if people think it’s nepotism, and favoritism and all those great medium-sized words.

Thanks for reading, and stay tuned for more “Alice” news as it comes.
