It seemed inevitable that Tim Burton would direct an adaptation of Alice in Wonderland, but who knew it would be in Plymouth (home of the Drake Circus Shopping Center)? Frankly, I would have gone North to Portmeirion.
Rumored to have Johnny Depp act as Mad Hatter (of course), Aussie Mia Wasikowska as Alice, but unfortunately dropping stellar regular costume designer Colleen Atwood for Carrie Arakaki (who worked on Hairspray and Hancock, but may show promise with The Curious Case of Benjamin Button), and adapted by the same writer (Linda Woolverton) who helped out on a few animated Disney features along with eps of "Teen Wolf" and "Popples." Hmm.
The film doesn't hit screens until 2010.
