Alice in Wonderland!

As most of you know Tim Burton is doing a new version of Alice in Wonderland scheduled to be released in 2010 and the buzz around this movie is insane! Everyone was amazed by his remake of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and now fans of Burton are counting down the days until we can see his new masterpiece. There have recently been pictures of Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter which is shown above and believe me, as a Burton (and Depp) fan, I cannot wait for this movie!! Because this movie is only in Post Production a lot of information isn't available but the hype sure is...proving that Burton has definitely made an impression on the world enough that people cannot wait to see his take on movies. According to IMDB.com this movie is to be released on March 5, 2010 and that it is currently in post production. For a full list of cast and crew go to this link to read up on it and to stay informed on the movie. As a huge Tim Burton fan and am counting down the days to see this movie which I'm sure will be A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!! (by the way 324 days as of April 15, 2009, haha)

I hope that after reading all of these posts I've done, this might persuade you to go see any movies that Burton has done, they all have their own unique style that captures audiences everywhere. So I encourage you to sit back and enjoy all the movies he has made, is making, and will make because I'm sure they will all entertain everyone who sees them!

The Corpse Bride

So the above video is an interview with Tim Burton discussing his latest film The Corpse Bride and some of the things he liked most about it. The one part of the interview I enjoyed the most was when he talked about the difference between the "living world" and the "dead world". For anyone who has seen this movie, I'm sure you instantly realized that the living world was almost all in a gray scale form, very lifeless, boring, and ordinary; but the dead world was vibrant, loud, colorful, and very interesting. When I first saw this movie, I knew that Burton did that for a reason, to symbolize the difference between worlds and to make the film his own...and when he said exactly that in this interview I was excited to know that I can kind of think like he does. Tim Burton definitely has his own way with creating a look and feel for all of his films and the more he makes the better he gets. This interview basically explains how different stop animation has become over the past few years and how it is still an amazing art form that should never be lost. I really enjoyed actually taking the time to just sit and listen to what this man has to say about one of his movies and I think you will too, so I really encourage you to watch this interview about The Corpse Bride to learn a little and to understand Burton just a little more too.
