Yahoo movies has the new teaser trailer for Tim Burtons Alice In Wonderland up and running. Bottom line, it looks Freaky in a Tim Burton way.

I never was a big fan of the Disney version and I always thought it was odd to show children someone's LSD trip. However, I am curious to see what Burton and Johnny D. turned out once again.

Johnny D. and Burton must have some kind of Bromance going on. I mean, could they take a break and do a couple movies without each other, lol.

I'm not sure, but I don't think this is the Disney version?

Posters, you're right. Burton seems to be obsessed with death and the dead being alive. I personally think the dude is a freak. The trailer did however look interesting until the Mad Hatter came on the screen and then it went right to freakville.

wolvinator,

yeah, i can't remember the last time tim burton made a "normal" movie--or at least one that doesn't focus on necrophilia.

from my review of "sweeney todd":

Quote:Director Tim Burton should be congratulated for creating a financially fruitful body of work. He’s not a populist like Steven Spielberg or George Lucas, and he’s not a purveyor of action porn like Michael Bay or Tony Scott. In fact, Burton’s primary theme is not at all commercial in nature.

If you look at the big picture, Tim Burton is clearly a necrophiliac. Just about all of his features focus on the dead, the walking dead, the waking dead, the nearly dead, married-to-the-dead, pasty-white weirdoes, ghosts, nihilists, etc. Burton’s protagonists usually aren’t heroes. They’re not even anti-heroes in most cases, they’re outright murderous villains.

Burton’s commercial success can be attributed to his hiding his necrophilia behind championing-the-underdog/sympathy-for-misfits stories. If you think about it, Burton is far more subversive than “message” artists who demand immediate change and revolution. Burton plays off of our intensely personal desires to be understood, loved, praised, and cheered. In the process, casual viewers who watch movies on autopilot essentially embrace Burton’s love of death.

Asking Burton to make a "normal" movie--say, a serious drama or a romantic comedy--would have been like asking Hitchcock to make a sci-fi flick. Directors most often specialize in a genre they like and do best. Burton specializes in bizarre, eccentric films, often dealing in death. So what? Michael Bay makes big popcorn flicks, M. Night makes eerie horror-type films, Michael Mann makes crime films, etc. If you don't like their films, don't watch them. This isn't rocket science, it's choice.
