Here's Wired's sneak peek at what Alice in Wonderland - ala Tim Burton - is going to look like. It's due in March 2010. Looks like something American McGee inspired, doesn't it? Too bad we know it's not going to be that grotesque or awkward - it's still a Disney film.
I love the Alice series. It is superbly wicked, strange, and intriguing. It's also highly intellectual. If you haven't read it as an adult, go do it. It's free on the internet.
The Hatter opened his eyes very wide on hearing this; but all he said was, "Why is a raven like a writing-desk?"
"Come, we shall have some fun now!" thought Alice. "I'm glad they've begun asking riddles. — I believe I can guess that," she added aloud.
"Do you mean that you think you can find out the answer to it?" said the March Hare.
"Exactly so," said Alice.
"Then you should say what you mean," the March Hare went on.
"I do," Alice hastily replied; "at least--at least I mean what I say--that's the same thing, you know."
"Not the same thing a bit!" said the Hatter. "You might just as well say that 'I see what I eat' is the same thing as 'I eat what I see'!"
"You might just as well say," added the March Hare, "that 'I like what I get' is the same thing as 'I get what I like'!"
"You might just as well say," added the Dormouse, who seemed to be talking in his sleep, "that 'I breathe when I sleep' is the same thing as 'I sleep when I breathe'!"
