We're all a little mad here...
If you are not aware of this yet, and if the name of the blog hasn’t tipped you off, I am a huge fan of Alice in Wonderland – one of the greatest movies ever made and one of the greatest books ever written. Period.
Imagine my surprise, and delight, when the word was sent out that a new version of Alice in Wonderland is to be filmed. And none other than the one and only Tim Burton is to direct.
Curiouser and curiouser.
Just think about it – the whirly, topsy-turvy world created by Lewis Carrol interpreted by the man known for filming in that off-kilter way.
It’s like Christmas, my birthday, Hanukkah (if I were Jewish), and Halloween all wrapped into one. Though sadly, the movie is at the moment slated to come out in 2010… But I suppose I can hold out til then.
It’s going to be so awesome! I bet Johnny Depp will play the Mad Hatter…at least he would make a good one. Did you ever see the adaptation with Gene Wilder and Martin Short?
I did…and I liked that version too. Pretty much if you set me in front of any version of Alice in Wonderland, I will be happy – but I still think that the 1950′s animated Disney movie is the standard in which all other movies strive for.
