Our first proper glimpse through the looking glass at Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland

D23 is a Disney fan club that launched earlier this week and as part of a membership, you get a subscription to their quarterly magazine filled with photography and articles on all-things Disney. Featured in this first issue is an article on Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland, which is currently in-production aiming for a March 5th, 2010 release. It included these photos that give us our first proper glimpse at the new adaption.

Abovie is Mia Wasikowska as Alice as well as a look at the Mad Hatter's tea party table. The Tim Burton Collective are the good people who scanned the photos for us all to see.

First Showing also had this quote from the magazine by Tim Burton:

"It's kind of a mixture of some distorted live action and animation. I can't
relate it to anything because I'm not sure what to relate it to. It's kind of
new territory for me,"

Also starring in the film are Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter, Anne Hathaway plays the White Queen, Helena Bonham Carter plays the Red Queen, Alan Rickman plays the Caterpillar, Crispin Glover plays the The Knave of Hearts, Stephen Fry plays the Cheshire Cat. Christopher Lee is also starring.

I've never been a big fan of the Alice in Wonderland tale, but I love many of Tim Burton's other films and he has got a great cast involved so I'll definitely give it a watch when it comes out. All in all it is shaping up to be a most curious piece of film.
