Check out the trailer for Tim Burton’s latest freak show Alice in Wonderland

I don’t know about you but they’ve got me hooked. It’s looking like Tim Burton and Johnny Depp combined their powers from planet Weird to bring us an out of word experience. From the innocents of  Alice to the craziness of the Mad Hatter  all the characters seem to be capture in their true essence, Strange as Hell lol, at least they do in the trailer. And whats up with that clear liquid Alice drank, lets see she took a sip and suddenly took a trip to a strange place filled with a magical array of color and crazy assortment of odd shaped animals and disfigured  people. Sounds like the plot behind Alice in Wonderland evolved from someone crazy ride on liquid LSD. But on to better things, Alice in Wonderland hits theaters March 5, 2010 be sure to check it out

I have to give it to Disney, they zre making some serious moves. First they manage to take they manage to take on of the weirdest movies plot wise that they’ve ever made and managed to remake it with a real cast rather than animation. Then they add the weirdest possible movie director into it and threw in a couple of adult Disney stars. Creating an Alice in Wonderland remake worth a real cast that actually has potential.

Director Tim Burton has teamed up with Disney, yet again, to bring the movie world a non animated version of Alice in Wonderland. When  really think about it they’re a perfect match, if there is such a thing. As weird as Alice in Wonderland is,  Burton should have no  problem expressing the weirdness that seems to be the underlying theme in the movie. It’s almost like Alice popped a EX pill and went on a trip to Wonderland where the predominant authority figure comes from a deck of cards, there are striped cats running around, and a weird and be crazed old man who instantly gains the friendship of a girl after a strange ‘Tea Party’ with a rabbit that tells time. Sounds like a story from the Chronic tales if you ask me. But who am i to critique, lol. Anyhow I’m sure Tim wont have any problems inserting his stylish touch on this film,  seeing that I wouldn’t be surprised if he had the original idea for Alice in Wonderland.

Set to star in the film is none other than Burton’s favorite actor Johnny Depp and yet again to know ones surprise he has taken on the part of The Mad Hatter, also featuring in the film: Ann Hathaway (The White Queen), Mia Wasikowska (Alice), and Michael Sheen (White Rabbit).

Alice in Wonderland is set to release in the U.S. March 5, 2010. I never thought I would say this about an Alice in Wonderland film, but I really looking forward to this one. I’ll keep posting as more is released.

Here’s a short synopsis of the upcoming movie Public enemies staring Johnny Depp and Christian Bale:

“In the action-thriller Public Enemies, acclaimed filmmaker Michael Mann directs Johnny Depp, Christian Bale and Academy Award® winner Marion Cotillard in the incredible and true story of legendary Depression-era bank robber John Dillinger (Depp)the charismatic bank robber whose lightning raids made him the number one target of J. Edgar Hoovers fledgling FBI and its top agent, Melvin Purvis (Bale), and a folk hero to much of the downtrodden public. No one could stop Dillinger. No jail could hold him. His charm and audacious jailbreaks endeared him to almost everyone from his girlfriend Billie Frechette (Cotillard) to an American public who had no sympathy for the banks that had plunged the country into the Depression. But while the adventures of Dillinger’s gang later including the sociopathic Baby Face Nelson (Stephen Graham)thrilled many, Hoover (Billy Crudup) hit on the idea of exploiting the outlaw’s capture as a way to elevate his Bureau of Investigation into the national police force that became the FBI. He made Dillinger America’s first Public Enemy Number One. Hoover sent in Purvis, the dashing “Clark Gable of the FBI”. However, Dillinger and his gang outwitted and outgunned Purvis’ men in wild chases and shootouts. Only after importing a crew of Western ex-lawmen (newly baptized as agents) who were real gunfighters and orchestrating epic betrayals from the infamous “Lady in Red” to the Chicago crime boss Frank Nittiwere Purvis and the FBI able to close in on Dillinger.”
