Posted January 28, 201015 yr Synopsis: In the sequel to Lewis Carroll's original stories, Alice Kingsley, now 19, attends a party at a Victorian estate shortly after the death of her beloved father. The party, unbeknownst to Alice, is an engagement party planned by her mother and sister. Just as the arrogant and dull Hamish Ascot proposes to Alice under a gazebo and under the eyes of hundreds of snooty society-types, Alice spots a white rabbit wearing a waistcoat and pocket watch. In shock and confusion, she runs off into a maze and follows the White Rabbit through it, only to later tumble down a rabbit hole into Underland (more commonly referred to as "Wonderland" by it's inhabitants), a place she has visited ten years before, yet doesn't remember. In Wonderland, she reunites with her childhood friends, including the Mad Hatter, who explains to Alice that they need her help in over-throwing the Red Queen, who has assumed control of all Wonderland. Alice then embarks — assuming both large and small sizes — on an adventure of self discovery and to save Wonderland and her Wonderland friends from both the Jabberwocky and the Red Queen's reign of terror.

January 29, 201015 yr I cannot f***ing wait for this movie, it looks like it could be better then Avatar. :wub:
January 29, 201015 yr This looks really really good, I wasn't interested when I first heard about it but the trailer is so good - especially in a cinema :wub: Seeing it fo' sho'.
January 29, 201015 yr Author I'm really excited to see it. As one of Helena Bonham Carter's biggest fans, I'm stupidly excited :kink:
January 29, 201015 yr This has got so much hype so far! From this alone i shall go to see this movie!
February 3, 201015 yr Im looking forward for this but im not so sure how comfortable i am with this being made with Disney behind it. I feel like Tim Burton could make something REALLY dark and edgy but i also feel like Disney could water it down a little bit.
February 4, 201015 yr I'm looking forward to this, but I am wondering whether Burton is actually adapting Lewis Carrol's original tale or whether he's adapting the brilliantly dark PC game "American McGee's Alice" which came out 10 years ago.... Still one of the best games I've ever played.... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_McGee%27s_Alice ..Or maybe it's a combination of both....
February 4, 201015 yr It's a sort of sequel...she's 19 or something, and she can't remember going to Wonderland
February 6, 201015 yr Author I'm looking forward to this, but I am wondering whether Burton is actually adapting Lewis Carrol's original tale or whether he's adapting the brilliantly dark PC game "American McGee's Alice" which came out 10 years ago.... Still one of the best games I've ever played.... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_McGee%27s_Alice ..Or maybe it's a combination of both.... He's doing a sequel to Lewis Carrol's original tales (combining Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass). It has nothing to do with American McGee's version, despite being dark as well. Under a month to the release date! :w00t:
February 8, 201015 yr It has nothing to do with American McGee's version, despite being dark as well. Under a month to the release date! :w00t: I dont buy that... American McGee's version was also a "sequel" of sorts with an emotionally damaged Alice returning to Wonderland trying to rebuild Wonderland and her own fractured psyche (the destruction in Wonderland actually serving as a metaphor for Alice's own mental breakdown).... I dont doubt for a minute that Burton probably played the game.... The game is absolutely superb (easily one of the best PC/Video games of all time) and does Carroll's works great credit....

I'm pretty sure Burton said somewhere that it had nothing to do with McGee's version though...:unsure:
February 8, 201015 yr I rarely see a cinema twice in a year :lol: But this will be the year! I am really looking forward to this!
February 9, 201015 yr I'm pretty sure Burton said somewhere that it had nothing to do with McGee's version though...:unsure: He's surely taken ideas from it though... From what I've seen in the trailer the bizarre sense of surrealness that's in the film is very akin to that sense you get when you play the game....
February 9, 201015 yr Author He's surely taken ideas from it though... From what I've seen in the trailer the bizarre sense of surrealness that's in the film is very akin to that sense you get when you play the game.... Quite possibly, but I dunno. That's just Tim's general style :P
February 10, 201015 yr Ahhhh! This I'm sure will be one of the movies of the year! However, for some reason I'm preparing myself to be majorly disappointed... Hmmm...
