another chance to see Burton disgrace a classic.first the batman movies,then planet of the apes,then charlie and the chocolate factory NOW this.why the hell do these hlooywood idiots allow burton near classic material!!! 😠 His best work is when he does his own stuff such as edward scissorhands.keep him the hell away from classics. 😠
Burton didn't touch Willy Wonka the movie, he made his film from the book. So it's not a remake of the original movie. As for the Batman films, I think you are in a minority on that one.
He is doing what he does best, Alice in Wonderland is the sort of surreal area where he is absolutely a genius in, mixing in his inventive stop motion too, I see no problem.
Not from what I have experienced am I in the minority on those disgraceful Batman movies.I remember when that movie first came out.I was still in junior high,I was so pissed about that movie,that EVERYBODY I came into contact with in classes,I bitched about it with them,teachers,EVERYBODY,most of the people in my school pretty much hated as much as i did.just about everywhere I go,when I do bring it up anymore,most people I run into,say they were glad batman begins was made as well cause they hated batman 89 so much.

Anyway...There was a special video, showing in some Disney meeting, of clips from the film and they caught a glimpse of Depp as the Mad Hatter and apparently are very happy with it. Hope that image leaks online soon, or anyone know of it already.
Actually you can find the picture of depp-as-mad hatter pretty damn easily. go to it's imdb page, click pictures... and yes! it's so beautiful, he looks as a painting. and using a search engine or youtube to find the special video.
ETA : OR you could just click here : Depp as Hatter
aaaaand fan-made trailer using real set pictures with alice at various sets, the lady with the baby, and such
AND. this movie is not being made from the disney cartoon or the alice in wonderland game. it's inspiration is from the original books by lewis carroll, who actually wrote two "alice books," "through the looking glass," [which was a great inspiration for the disney cartoon] and "alice in wonderland," which includes the red and white queens, the jabberwocky, and more.

sorry to double-post, all.
mr parker, i think you've made it very clear that you don't think this movie should be made. .... about five, six times? we all read the thread, we're all getting your opinion. perhaps you should start popping into other threads that do not yet carry your mark of approval/disapproval?
It'll probally be excellent. Most of Burton and Depp's work is. Also. To Mr. Parker.. You're a moron. the '89 Batman is one of the most critically aclaimed movies of all time. Jack Nichlson's role as the Joker is a role that to this day is still considered in his top five performances of all time. People still look up to this role to this day for inspiration and to watch an amazing actor do what he does best. Also, Charlie and the Choclate Factory was not a remake, Burton took the book's interpratation and made it his own with a few small alterations. So next time you decide to complain about someone similar to Tim Burton, pick somebody who actually DOES suck at making movies.
new pictures from the movie
oh my godfather part one.
these are brilliant. love how the title is in the 'nightmare before christmas' font. johnny depp looks like someone expertly splashed all different colors of paint on him.
anne hathaway... yeah, she looks like some weird version of Galadriel, but those dark eyes and eyebrows change the point of view VERY quickly. it's kind of like sweeny todd, but not. well, it's the burton black v. white trademark, anyway.
need to see movie now, thank you come again.
ETA : STEPHEN FRY AS THE CHESHIRE CAT???!!?!?!
