So I guess Michael is finally and forever lost in Wonderland. I didn’t become really aware of Wonderland until about 2000-2001 when a game called America McGee’s Alice was released and I got a copy. The game took the original story and made it into a horror flick that was completely twisted.

America McGee's Alice

I loved it though I lost or gave the game away years ago. Felt the need to give the game another try recently. That’s exactly what I have been doing and visually it holds up well but some of the gameplay is painfully boring to play. Good thing I’m interested how this game will end (I totally forget) or I wouldn’t play the game.

So why the sudden interest in Wonderland again? I came across some release pictures of a new Tim Burton movie and his take on Alice and I actually can’t wait to see this movie. A rare thing for me these days.

As you can see that this movie is going to twisted and not so fluffy happy, which makes me happy. That above is Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter. How awesome is that?

Other bits I’ve read that this movie will be in 3D, real life action and animation. Not sure if all this will be a good product at the end but the very little they have released I would like to think so. I did see Disney’s “Up” in 3D and to be honest the 3D in the movie was kinda just lame. Yeah there was depth to the view but it didn’t make you feel like it was in 3D because after 5 minutes nothing was standing out at you. It was like last minute thing to add.

I hope I’ve spark some interest in you for Wonderland and bored you mentioning Up. The few released pictures of the 2010 movie looks good so far and I’ll be keeping a close eye on any new details as they come.

*Update 06.19.10 – I saw this movie now a month or two ago and what a disappointment. I was hoping it was going to be similar to the video game mature tone but ended up ultimately a family movie.
