Anne Hathaway Role and Fun Facts about Alice

Click the picture above for details on a Alice in Wonderland themed craft swap.

Looks like Anne Hathaway turned down the title role for Alice in Wonderland.

Here is an enormous page full of information about the coming Disney movie by Tim Burton on Stitch Kingdom.

I don't know if you've been to the Mad Hatter's Facebook page recently, but there is a sweepstakes going on there.

New 2010 Images and Mad Hatter Action for Alice

Wow, I'm getting to post real news about Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland 2010.

First and foremost, a magazine scan has appeared on the Internet which is about Alice 2010 and has photos of some of the characters. The interesting thing about this scan is that the Caterpillar is pictured. The Caterpillar will be played by Alan Rickman. Here's another photos for you.

Another thing about this photo is that the White Queen looks kind of different from how she's looked in other press items...

MEANWHILE: the Mad Hatter Facebook page has new info, mostly having to do with the image above. Looks like once again a leak has preceded a Disney release. Maybe they're leaking these things on purpose.

Alice In Wonderland Trailer Leak?

Superpunch has screengrabs from an Alice in Wonderland 2010 trailer which appears to be on YouTube, but which refuses to play for me citing copyright issues. Seeing as how today is supposed to be the release date for the Alice 2010 trailer, I'm sure we'll all see it soon. In the meantime, you can look at the stills from the trailer here. Mmmmmm. Cheshire goodness. Later note: It can be found here until Disney gets to them.

Speaking of the movie, I hope nobody is surprised that Johnny Depp's is the most popular Facebook army. See the next post for details...

New Alice 2010 Photos and Facebook Mayhem

First up, Disney has announced a promotion for Alice in Wonderland using Facebook. They have set up three fan pages. One each for the White Queen (Anne Hathaway), Red Queen (Helena Bonham Carter), and Mad Hatter (Johnny Depp). The group that has the most followers on Thursday July 23 at 4 PM Pacific Time will get to see the debut Alice trailer that's been in the news lately.

Slashfilm has posted a description of the trailer. If you want to keep it as a surprise stop reading now and continue to the photos, below.

Alice in Wonderland features gorgeous imagery. Alice never speaks in the trailer. Depp does a voiceover for the trailer as the Mad Hatter. “There is a place like no place on Earth… some say to survive it you need to be mad as a hatter. Which, luckily; I am.” We get to see Alice discover and fall into the rabbit hole. Drinking the potion and shrinking. They show the Cheshire’s face as they did in the animated Disney film - as a floating head. Never complete. I also caught the White Queen, Red Queen, Rabbit, the Tweedles, and some characters that I assume are new for this version. The 3D in Alice is subtle. It didn’t appear to have anything thrown in just to prove it was filmed in 3D.

Here are the new photos! You will notice that the Red Queen photo has changed.
