Burton to direct "Alice in Wonderland"

[toys2cool]

Alice in wonderland is a weird movie anyways,so i think it's right up his alley,I think it'll be weird but good

Helena Bonham Carter as the Queen......yawn.....

Well...she is Burton's stick gum, lol.

But like a lot of guys said...this is a Burton kinda film...right up his alley.

In all fairness to Burton...he has directed a couple of good ones.

Pee-wee's Big Adventure
Beetlejuice
Ed Wood (I think that's his best movie)
Mars Attacks!

I really like many of Burton's movies he's a good film maker

Edward Scissorhands
Beetlejuice
Ed Wood- my fave Pull the String!
Big Fish- excellent movie
Mars Attacks!
Sweeney Todd
Sleepy Hollow
Corpse bride
PeeWee's Big Adventure- my son loved it

and his Nightmare before Christmas which he produced is a great fave

Back in the 70's, I remember me and my buds sneaking in through the exit backdoor of my local theatre to see a glimpse of the 70's version of Alice In Wonderland (R-version, unfortunately not the X version)

Good times

As others have said, this is right up Burton's alley. He's had a couple clunkers, Apes and Batman Returns, but most of his stuff is excellent.

I secretly love his Wonka film, and based on what she did in Sweeny Todd I think Helena will be a blast as the Queen.

I'm not debating he'll do a good job with this, this is the kind of material Burton should be doing, I'm just a little tired of his schtick I guess. My wife will drag me to this, she adores this stuff.

I always loved Burton's work and was sooo looking forward to his take on Planet of the Apes. It came out on the last day of my HoneyMoon in Hawaii and I dragged my wife to see it. I've never been so disappointed, its on my list of top ten films I hate.

I thought Wonka would be right up his alley too, but that was a big disappointment also. It was 2 hours of Depp doing Wonka as Michael Jackson. Also, the original is such a classic, as with Apes, that these remakes, reimaginations, have alot to live up to.

With Alice, there is really nothing to compare it too, so I think whatever he does with it will be well received. Although in my mind it will be hard to top the x rated 70's version.
