Trailerwatch: Alice in Wonderland


I flip-flop between being excited about this and realising that Tim Burton hasn't made a good film in ten years. In theory, Burton's aesthetic is perfectly suited to Alice. I just hope it doesn't have any gothic trappings, because it really doesn't need any. Mia Wasikowska should make a good Alice (she's ace on In Treatment) but why does this trailer make it seem like Johnny Depp is the only star on show here? The Mad Hatter isn't that big a part in the books and whilst I don't have a problem with A-list cameos from Depp, Anne Hathaway and the like, it's Alice's story, not theirs. The CGI looks a bit ropey too.
