FIRST LOOK AT ALICE IN WONDERLAND BY TIM BURTON

Here is our first look at Alice in Wonderland movie by Tim Burton, out March 5, 2010.

Anne Hathaway as the icy White Queen, Helena Bonham Carter with an oversized head as the Red Queen and Johnny Depp looking nuts as always as the pasty, ginger Mad Hatter. (living in Hollywood you have a lot of gossips going around all the time and one of the latest and constant gossips is that it is no brainer for Johnny Depp to play nuts if you see what I mean!)

Mia Wasikowska, 19, from Australia, will be playing Alice, who is much older in the film. The White Rabbit will be played by Michael Sheen.



The look of the film is typical Burton style with Victorian styling and extreme colour contrasts. As well as being transformed by their costumes, the cast's features have been digitally altered, making them look far removed from their normal selves. As the tea-drinking, unbirthday-celebrating Mad Hatter, Johnny's eyes are yellow and enlarged. Producer Richard Zanuck said: 'This character is off his rocker. He is so much fun and so nutty, I can't imagine anyone else doing it.'

The film also stars Burton's muse and real-life partner Bonham Carter, whose head has been digitally swelled to play the Red Queen. Dressed in full royal regalia, Bonham Carter's body is dwarfed by her bulbous head, a physical reflection of the Queen's enormous ego [source]

Alice in Wonderland will be released in both traditional and 3D format.
