First photos of Tim Burton's take on Alice in Wonderland

Ever since Tim Burtons questionable re-imagined release of 'Planet of the Apes' back in 2001, this visionary director has been on a role. In 2003 he gave us the fantasy drama 'Big Fish' which was then followed by the 2005 releases of 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory' and 'Corpse Bride', and the fourteenth major motion picture of his career 'Sweeney Todd'. Well in 2010 Burton will try to resurrect the same magic he used on other classics like 'Sleepy Hollow', 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory', 'Batman', and 'Sweeney Todd', and this film could possibly be the biggest of his career.

In 2010 Tim Burton will take on the iconic Lewis Carroll story of 'Alice in Wonderland' and translate it to the silver screen in a way that only Tim Burton can. This, surely darker, take on the beloved classic has already brought in such actors and actresses as Johnny Depp to portray the Mad Hatter, Helena Bonham Carter to portray the Red Queen, Anne Hathaway to portray the White Queen, (Both queens a strange choice for 'Alice in Wonderland' considering they were not in the original book, they were in Lewis Carroll's sequel book 'Through the Looking Glass'.) Alan Rickman to portray the Caterpillar, Matt Lucas to portray Tweedledum and Tweedledee, and relative new comer Australian actress Mia Wasikowska to portray Alice.

Now, like many of Burton's films, security and secrecy are always priority number one to ensure nothing is given away but some sites were able to get their hands on some behind the scenes photos (Legally, ofcoarse).

Now, for all the rest of you Burton enthusiasts other Tim Burton projects after 'Alice in Wonderland' include a remake of Burton's independent film 'Frankenweenie' (likely to be in stop motion like 'The Nightmare Before Christmas' and 'Corpse Bride') and a film based on the 1966 gothic soap opera 'Dark Shadows'.
