AceShowbiz - Beside debuting first footage of "Alice in Wonderland" at San Diego Comic Con 2009, Walt Disney Pictures has made plans to premiere the teaser trailer of Tim Burton-directed feature film on Facebook on Thursday, July 23. Sending out information for the teaser, the mouse house reveals that Facebook members have to choose a side first to get a chance to see the exclusive new trailer.
"The Loyal Subjects of the Red Queen, the Loyal Subjects of the White Queen, and the Disloyal Subjects of the Mad Hatter are all building armies on Facebook," so read the Disney's announcement. "The fan page with the biggest army at 4 P.M. PDT on Thursday, July 23 will get to see an exclusive new trailer from Disney's ALICE IN WONDERLAND before anyone else. So be sure to log onto Facebook and choose a side."
Meanwhile, Slash Film has gone even further by describing what will be seen in the teaser. Claiming to get the description from reader Michael H, the site wrote, "Alice in Wonderland features gorgeous imagery. Alice never speaks in the trailer. [Johnny] Depp does a voiceover for the trailer as the Mad Hatter. 'There is a place like no place on Earth...some say to survive it you need to be mad as a hatter. Which, luckily; I am.' "
Michael H then continued, providing more details. "We get to see Alice discover and fall into the rabbit hole," so he claimed. "Drinking the potion and shrinking. They show the Cheshire's face as they did in the animated Disney film - as a floating head. Never complete. I also caught the White Queen, Red Queen, Rabbit, the Tweedles, and some characters that I assume are new for this version. The 3D in Alice is subtle. It didn't appear to have anything thrown in just to prove it was filmed in 3D."
Expected to come out in Disney Digital 3-D on March 5, 2010, "Alice in Wonderland" is said to be an epic 3-D fantasy adventure which gives a magical and imaginative twist on some of the most beloved stories of all time. The story follows 19-year-old Alice who returns to the whimsical world she first encountered as a young girl, reuniting with her childhood friends. This time, she embarks on a fantastical journey to find her true destiny and end the Red Queen's reign of terror.
Mia Wasikowska stars as Alice, Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter, Anne Hathaway as the White Queen and Helena Bonham Carter as the Red Queen. Matt Lucas, Michael Sheen and Crispin Glover join them in the cast ensemble. The movie will also see characters, like the White Rabbit, Tweedledee and Tweedledum, the Dormouse, the Caterpillar and the Cheshire Cat brought back to the big screen.
