So Tim Burton is recreating Lewis Carroll's Alice In Wonderland. Disney obviously already made an animation of the book in 1951, despite bad reviews and not a lot of hype when it first came out the film is a classic and is now known widely around the world. This remake is going to be both live action and CGI, and I think they have a great cast lineup: Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, Anne Hathaway, Alan Rickman, Matt Lucas and Steven Fry.
But because its Tim Burton there is a lot of controversy over whether this is going to be a "Nightmare Before Christmas" case. Is Alice In Wonderland and everything associated with it going to be put on t-shirts, belts, badges, bags and any other item in Clares/Hot Topic? (What ever side of the pond your on!) Is Alice going to become what Nightmare is, essentially a brand name for alternative subcultures? (Im not having a dig at any subculture you can think of, because as I type this I'm wearing a Jack Skellington belt.)
Whatever people make of this film I'm excited for it and will probably be going to see it when it comes to the cinemas here in blighty!
Au revoir,
CM
