This is not so much a remake of the books as a kind of sequal, a third "book" if you will, occurring 12 and a half years exactly later.

It's also a Tim Burton movie...

Oh, and Johnny Depp gets the lines because he's a big star and Mia Whatsahooha ain't.

So, not that I've bothered to find the info, but this Alice in Wonderland movie is a "sequel" to the books? That might explain why nothing in the trailer was from either book. hmm. So does two of my favorite books + one of my favorite directors = a movie I will like?
I was scared by the trailer... too many computer warped people. Like, their heads all stretched out & stuff. ew.

This is Tim Burton we're talking about here. It isn't going to be a faithful re-creation of anything.

Whoa! I'm very excited to see this. I should also point out that there have been about a million movie and TV versions of Alice in Wonderland made and not one of them faithfully follows the text. So, in a way, Tim Burton is upholding tradition.

I was never thinking it'd be a faithful representation of the text. I love most of the movies out there- even the one that was aired every year in the 80's that gave me annual nightmares because of the baby that turned into a pig.
I think a "sequel" could be fun. We all liked that computer game, right? The fact that they made Helena Bonham Carter even creepier looking by shrinking her & stretching her head bothers me. She will replace my pig-baby nightmares.

Let's hope it lives up to it's potential.
