I try to keep this blog for review-ish posts and my Twitter feed for pointing out odd nuggets of pop culture that catch my attention. However, I couldn't resist highlighting these stunning pieces of concept art for Tim Burton's upcoming film, Alice in Wonderland.
If ever there was a story seemingly tailor-made for Burton's eccentric style, Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland must be it. The kooky director looks to be on top form here, coming off the back of the fantastic Sweeney Todd.
In a word, the art is breathtaking. These character images perfectly capture the bizarre dystopia dreamt up by Carroll for the Alice books.
Be sure to check out USATODAY.com for an interactive look at some of the artwork for the film.
Burton's Alice in Wonderland is a live action/stop motion/motion capture adaptation set 10 years after the original stories and sees the title character return to Wonderland with no recollection of her first adventure there. The usual Burton stalwarts are all set to appear, including Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, Alan Rickman and Christopher Lee. They are joined by Mia Wasikowska as Alice. The film will be released in glorious IMAX 3-D.

Awesome! Thanks for that, Matt. I can't wait for this. Any Tim Burton-Johnny Depp combination I will flock to. I loved Sweeney Todd and it will be interesting to see what they do with this.
This looks so awesome. Can't wait to see it.
I just have to share that as I was typing this an ad for ACA was on - "Pulp Fiction! What's REALLY in your orange juice?"
