logansrogueRotten Tomatoes has pictures of Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland.
I am *really* excited, cause those pictures look fucking awesome. The wrinkly old faces in the garden flowers is FUCKING STUNNING. The colour of the entire picture has a sort of strange Hieronymus Bosch sort of feel about it, combined with the tonal quality of a Caravaggio. All that sounds very wanky, weighty and knowledgeable but took me hours of trawling through my art history books to figure out who I actually meant. I remember pictures better than names. Anyway, what it comes down to is that it's damned creepy. It's beautiful, it's wondrous enough for Wonderland, but it has a creepy weirdness to it, which really is fucking perfect when you consider the source material. It'll probably work much better with this than it did with Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, which needed an element of warmth to offset the truly horrible things that end up happening to the naughty children.
In other news, wow. I never thought I'd see the day where Elijah Wood looks like Madonna in a photo.
