This could be good!

Tim Burton is making Alice in Wonderland — expected to be released in March 2010. The casting looks good:

Alice: Mia Wasikowska (never heard of her)
The Mad Hatter: Johnny Depp (better leave his Michael Jacksonesque Willy Wonka behind)
The Queen of Hearts: Helena Bonham Carter (who was always kind of scary anyway)
The White Queen: Anne Hathaway
The Knave of Hearts: Crispin Glover (yikes!)
The Cheshire Cat: Stephen Fry (OK, not bad)
The Caterpillar: Alan Rickman (I could see that)
Tweedledee and Tweedledum: Matt Lucas (fat guy from Little Britain, yep)

I sure hope this will be good, because Tim Burton has disappointed of late. Though I am firmly of the opinion that nothing, but nothing, could ever top Pee-Wee's Big Adventure.

I'm not surprised there's some confusion.
I really, really don't want him to do 1984, though.

Wikipedia told me, for what that's worth.
The 1984 they made in 1984 (with John Hurt) was really close to what I had in mind, from the first time I read the book (in Grade 6!) and I don't think Burton could improve on that.
