Empire has got a hold of a fresh photo from Tim Burton-directed 3-D re-imagining of 'Alice in Wonderland', featuring The White Queen with her little furry friend.
- Jul 15, 2009
AceShowbiz - A fresh capture of The White Queen from "Alice in Wonderland" has been shared. Coming out via Empire Online, the brand new picture presents another shot of Anne Hathaway as Alice's ally in the magical world. While previous photo only provides the character's head shot, this new picture let out The White Queen with what seems to be Dormouse.
On the character itself, The White Queen actually doesn't appear in Lewis Carroll's original "Alice in Wonderland" book. She comes out as a chess piece in its sequel called "Through The Looking Glass". The character has been described to be a little odd because she seems to live her life backwards, screaming before she is injured for one thing.
The White Queen aside, Empire also includes three other pictures. One gives out Mia Wasikowska's Alice, another shows Johnny Depp's The Mad Hatter, and the other puts out Helena Bonham Carter's The Red Queen.
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. It is expected to hit U.S. theaters on March 5, 2010. First ever footage of this film will be debuted at San Diego Comic Con 2009 during Disney's 3D panel on Thursday, July 23, morning.
