Tim Burton Talks "Alice" Adaptation
Director Tim Burton says he plans to stay true to Lewis Carroll's original stories for his adaptation of "Alice in Wonderland".
He tells Sci-Fi Wire that the story is "just such a classic, and the imagery is so surreal. I don't know; I've never seen a version where I feel like they got it all. It's a series of weird adventures, and to try to do it where it works as a movie will be interesting...The imagery, they've never quite nailed making it compelling as a full story. So I think it's an interesting challenge to direct."
Burton will also produce the adaptation, which will use both live action and performance-capture animation. Filming is set to begin in early 2008 and Burton will work from a script by Linda Woolverton ("Beauty and the Beast").
Thats great news!.. I was hoping for more of a stop motion/"Nightmare before christstmas" style but this might also work.
My hopes are someting like American Mcgee`s Alice in Wonderland
Im not worried at all. Burton could come out tomorrow and say that he was to redo Talladega Nights or Die Hard 3 and I would be just as happy.
PS: I would love to see Johnny Depp as the Cheshire Cat..

OMG! I'm so pissed about this!! I love Tim Burton's work except for 'Willy WOnka'--I HATED the computer animation he added, and Disney seemed to have a bull dog on a chain when they gave it to him, because he wasn't able to make it as eccentric as I felt the real Roald Dahl piece was. With Lewis Carrol's work, I KNOW Tim Burton could do something amazing(I see a Pan's Labyrinth type of film for this), but U KNOW Disney won't let that happen!
Does Disney own the rights or something?!
I don't want a bunch of CGI that will give the movie the same fake look that the factory had-in my opinion.
I want a PG-13 rating at the lowest...really-I was so excited to hear this was happening, but now I'm worried it will fall flat to my expectations....so sad...ugh!
