"I NEED A PIG HERE!"
Wednesday, December 16th, 2009

In October we got to see the extended first movie trailer for Tim Burton’s Alice In Wonderland and today we get to feast our eyes on movie trailer #2. This trailer does contain some of the scenes we saw in the first trailer but offers a whole lot more, giving us a better understanding of the film’s storyline. Here are a few screencaps:


These screencaps alone, particularly the one featuring Alice Kingsley (played by Mia Wasikowska) is very telling. After the jump, check out this new trailer for Alice In Wonderland in full and check it out for yourselves …

‘Alice In Wonderland’ Releases A Mad Hatter Promo Poster

The Madness
Tuesday, November 17th, 2009

Earlier this month we learned that the folks promoting Tim Burton’s Alice In Wonderland released a movie poster on Facebook featuring the White Queen and then released a poster featuring Alice herself. Today, the official Alice In Wonderland Facebook page releases a third poster featuring the wily Mad Hatter, played by Johnny Depp:


The message posted with this Mad Hatter movie poster alludes to the fact that it will be the “last” promo photo shared on Facebook for a while. I suppose it makes sense that the folks promoting the show would put a halt on releasing goodies to fans so early before the film hits theaters. Of the three posters, I think I like this one the least … I don’t think they featured the Mad Hatter as expertly as they could’ve. That being said, we still have a lot of time to wait before the film opens in theaters next Spring … I’ll take any and everything they’ve got to give. I just hope they don’t make us wait too long before they release another fun goodie.

‘Alice In Wonderland’ Releases An Alice Promo Poster

Down the rabbit hole
Wednesday, November 11th, 2009

Yesterday we got our first look at a movie poster from Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland which was released on Facebook and features the White Queen character. Today we get our first look at another Wonderland poster newly released on Facebook … but this one features the main character in Wonderland, Alice herself:


It’s unclear if more posters will be released to fans on a daily basis like this but you can be sure that there will be more fun releases like this to come in the months leading up to the film’s release. I understand from a Pink reader (thanks Mr. Gyllenhaal) that a 3D trailer for Alice in Wonderland is showing in front of Disney’s A Christmas Carol in theaters right now. The fact that I hate the Christmas Carol story and am not very fond of Jim Carrey means that I will prolly not see the movie for myself … but I would LOVE to see the Wonderland trailer in 3D on the big screen. It might be worth going to see Carol and then just leaving before the movie even starts. In any event, I’ll continue to watch the official Alice in Wonderland Facebook page for any new goodies to come. I’m really looking forward to seeing future posters … which character would you like to see released next?

‘Alice In Wonderland’ Releases A White Queen Promo Poster

The White Stuff
Tuesday, November 10th, 2009

Great news Alice In Wonderland fans, the movie’s official Facebook profile has released a new promo poster for Tim Burton’s vision of the tale and today we get our first look of that new poster artwork. Here is the new White Queen-centric poster just released for the film:


This is an awesome poster and seems to be the first of many posters coming our way. According to the Alice In Wonderland Facebook profile, if the page gets 7,500 likes (ie. 7,5000 Facebook followers have to join the Alice Facebook page and then click the image) then another movie poster will be revealed on the site. My guess is that there will eventually be posters for each of the main characters in Wonderland. If you are interested in seeing these releases as soon as they become available, I suggest you add the Alice Facebook page to your roster of Facebook friends. I’m sure there will be many “games” like this for fans to play in order to unlock new releases (ie. photos, videos, etc.) from the film … considering the movie won’t be in theaters until next Spring, there is lots of time to play along. What do y’all think of this poster … do we like?

Now … the “extended” scenes in this trailer aren’t really all that exciting … I think I noticed 2 or 3 new scenes … but I know there are many folks out there aching for any new info on this film so I think it’s worth checking out. After the jump, check out the minute long extended movie trailer for Alice In Wonderland

Walt Disney + Marvel Comics = Twisted Princesses?

Unholy alliance
Tuesday, September 22nd, 2009

In late August pretty much everyone lost their shizz when the news came out that The Walt Disney Company was acquiring Marvel Comics for $4 billion mainly because there was a huge fear that Disney would interfere with Marvel and ruin those characters. BUT, what if the reverse actually happened and Marvel was able to influence the nice, sweet Disney characters instead. Illustrator Jeffrey Thomas envisions what Disney characters might look like if they received the Marvel Comics treatment … here are a few of the Twisted Princesses that he envisions:


Wouldn’t it be fantastic if instead of Disney’s wussification of Marvel’s characters, the tables were turned and instead Marvel turned the Disney princesses into Skrull invaders and zombies like this Dark Little Mermaid? All the images are by illustrator Jeffrey Thomas, who’s as twisted as he is brilliant. Please oh please can’t we at least get a comic book out of these images?

Aren’t these illustrations fantastic? I love mashing up characters like this … seeing the Disney Princesses in a more dark light only highlights their personalities, I think. Some of them look evil (ie. Ariel the Little Mermaid) but some of them just look more realistic and strong (ie. Pocahontas). I LOVE these illustrations. I urge you to visit Thomas’s website HERE to see these illustrations in higher resolution … they’re really amazing. One can only hope that the marriage between Disney and Marvel might bring to fruition an alliance like this … my guess is that it won’t really happen but it’s nice to wish … upon a star.

Johnny Depp Pays A Surprise Visit To Comic-Con

In-N-Out
Friday, July 24th, 2009

After the Internets went WILD over the release of the first trailer for Tim Burton’s new Disney film Alice In Wonderland this past Wednesday, it was assumed that the trailer would be the central focal point of the film’s presence at San Diego Comic-Con taking place this weekend. As was assumed, Tim Burton was on hand to personally show the video footage at Comic-Con yesterday … but he brought along a surprise guest with him. Johnny Depp shocked fans by popping up on stage to say hello … before he, almost immediately, disappeared and left the premises:


English heartthrob Robert Pattinson wasn’t due to arrive in Hall H of the San Diego Convention Center until later in the afternoon, but he was in real danger of being upstaged by the screams that met Johnny Depp’s surprise appearance Thursday morning at the first panel of the day at Comic-Con International. Depp, dressed in a white shirt and black vest, was on hand to support director Tim Burton, who unveiled a 3-D teaser trailer for his upcoming “Alice in Wonderland,” due out in March. The film draws from a cross-section of Lewis Carroll’s writing, including the Jabberwocky poem. The footage, which prominently featured Depp’s Mad Hatter, mostly highlighted the variety of the fantastic images Burton has assembled for the movie, created using a hybrid of live-action and animation and other techniques. At the urging of moderator Patton Oswalt, it was shown three separate times. “John and I worked together many times, but he’s never done a character with orange hair,” Burton dryly observed from the stage about the Hatter’s unusual aesthetic. “We scalped Carrot Top and took his hair….We realized once we got into it that we picked out every image from TV and cinema of red hair and it’s quite a distributing thing — from Bozo onward,” the director deadpanned.

According to E! News, Johnny uttered just 5 words before POOF! he was gone:

In fact, Depp stopped by, said five words and then totally just left. Here’s what went down: After screening a custom-made trailer for his Comic-Con fans, director Burton asked the crowd if they would like to meet the “imaginary friend” that follows him around. The crowd cheered and Depp, who plays the Mad Hatter, walked onstage in a button-up shirt and fitted black vest. He had long bangs sweeping the side of his face, and wore a thick leather bracelet. After several moments of cheering, Depp whispered into the mic: “Hey. Happy to be here.” And then, poof, he was gone. Moderator Patton Oswalt told the crowd that Depp could reappear later in the day, so “be nice to every guy you see dressed like Jack Sparrow.”

The ONLY person who could upstage Robert Pattinson these days is Johnny Depp … and I kinda love that he just showed up to say hello before running as fast as he could from the venue. Brills. But, getting back to Wonderland, the official poster artwork for the film has been released and features the promo photos that we saw a few weeks ago. While they aren’t all that new, I think they’re worth a second look … as is a pretty cool photo of the Cheshire Cat who was featured in yesterday’s Comic-Con presentation of Alice in Wonderland
