Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland Goes Through Hong Kong’s Looking Glass
| March 4, 2010 |
Don’t be late for this very important date.
After you’ve Avatar’ed the hell out of yourself this past 60 days, its time to avert your gaze to some new films opening in Hong Kong.
One of the more clever visual looking films coming this year is again from the mind of director Tim Burton. We think Burton is hit (Sleepy Hollow) and miss (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory) we are very excited to see what he does with the Alice in Wonderland story.
We hope you didn’t throw away your Avatar glasses because Alice in Wonderland will be in 3D and opens in Hong Kong on March 4th and looks like it will be bumping out Avatar in either both or at least one of the IMAX cinemas in Hong Kong.
Hong Kong poster and trailer are below.
And Medicom in Japan knows that Kubrick’s and 12″ figures always sell well based on Tim Burton’s movies so they have these products ready to go for March:

I think Tim Burton has been mainly a hit for me. In many ways Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was much truer to the overall spirit of the Roald Dahl book, it was suitably creepy and weird and adult. I think that Dahl would have loved it as much as he hated the first film.
I think Burton will extract the true meaning from Lewis Carroll… so I expect this to be a delve of absolute insanity filter through a haze of opium, could be brilliant. (very much looking forward to Stephen Fry as the Cheshire Cat and Christopher Lee as the Jabberwok!)
