I cannot wait for this!!!!

(from Dlisted.com)

Alan Rickman has joined the cast of Tim Burton's "Alice in Wonderland" in the role he was born to play: The Caterpillar! Alan dressed in a sexy caterpillar costume and smoking a hookah!? I can't. His voice is already like a smoke of warm velvet, so I can already imagine what he's going to sound like as The Caterpillar. You better bring some Kleenex to clean up your ear orgasms.

Another Burton veteran, Christopher Lee, will also lend his skills to the movie, but it's not known what role he's going to play. Some seem think he's going to play The White Knight.

The rest of the cast includes Johnny Depp (Mad Hatter), Mia Wasikowska (Alice), Helena Bonham Carter (The Red Queen), Anne Hathaway (The White Queen), Michael Sheen (Cheshire Cat), Matt Lucas (Tweedledee/Tweedledum) and Crispin Glover (Knave of Hearts). Of course, Danny Elfman is doing the score.

This shit comes out in 2010, so that gives you plenty of time to perfect your pot brownie recipe. You know this crap is going to be best viewed with a few scrumptious chocolate weed cakes.

as much as I respect Burton as a filmmaker, I'm sick & tired of seeing Depp & Bonham Carter in every gatdamn movie by him.....

it better be 100 times better than willy wonka, thats all im saying

awesome awesome awesome!!!!!

well, fortunately sweeney todd was much much better than willy wonka imo, so maybe
burton is on the right track again

Why do I get that sinking 'Planet of the Apes' feeling.

Wow! I love Alice's costume for the movie.

i don´t know, why?

Eat me..

oh, and Alan Rickman!!!

I would love to see the following directors take a stab at it, moreso than Burton:


Guillermo Del Toro

Ridley Scott


Clint Eastwood

Prince

I agree with those except for Ridley Scott

Burton seems to do best with movies that have never been attempted before.

Whenever he does remakes they seem.... a bit off.


I'll admit, I dissagree with folks who don't like his Willy Wonka redux--I thought it was just fine. I mean, it's Willy Wonka-- what else could he have done with that story? It his casting of Johny Depp was far far less creepy than that chester-molester version ala Gene Wilder.


But Alice in Wonderland--I'm going to just have to reserve judgement.


To me, Del Toro would just do a better job at it. It's a story that really has some very dark moments in it, and I think Del Toro would just do a better job of sucking you in and making you feel that.

I lurve Ridley Scott


He could direct Gay Porn and make it universally appealing

Bonham Carter.....


Wahlberg was tha shit in that one!

Imago said:

I agree with you on Del Toro. Hellboy II was wonderful, one of my
favorite films in a long time

Weed brownies while watching this looks like another instant classic...

It's Snape!!!!!

he directed Blade Runner ()...and Alien

We don't have to agree on everything, boo

only the things that matter

I would die a happy woman if Johnny Depp was casted in every movie and tv show out there!

i have a feeling it'll rock

I will always love Burton's general aesthetic. I think he lost his way somewhere around Big Fish and Apes was a big pile of crap, of course, but he makes things gorgeous and stylish and quirky and has a look that is undeniably his own.

Oh My God, I LOOOOOVE him!!!


There's this comedy spoof of Star Trek called Galaxy Quest, and every scene that he's in, I crack the fuck up.

I. love. him.

yeah, but he was NOT sexy as Snape!!

I like him better in that Texas video with Charlenne Spiteri
