Three more character images from "Alice in Wonderland" have been found. Each presenting Mia Wasikowska's Alice, Johnny Depp's The Mad Hatter and Helena Bonham Carter's The Red Queen, the photos came out in the latest edition of Vanity Fair and were scanned by Planet Disney. This is the first time the main character Alice is seen up close.
For this 3-D re-imagining of the original animated classic, director Tim Burton gives a unique twist making it a semi-sequel. The story centers on the now-17-year-old Alice. Attending a party at a Victorian estate only to find she is about to be proposed to in front of hundreds of snooty society types, she runs after a white rabbit into a hole and ends up transferred once again to Wonderland. Still, she has no recollection of this place she visited 10 years before.
"Alice in Wonderland" is based on the Lewis Carroll classic of the same name and will combine performance-capture imagery with live-action footage. The story has been modernized by Linda Woolverton. Anne Hathaway stars as the White Queen, while Matt Lucas is the man behind Tweedledee and Tweedledum. It is expected to hit U.S. theaters on March 5, 2010.
