Burton adapting ALICE IN WONDERLAND
Tim Burton's next film will be a 3-D animated film for Walt Disney, the first time he was worked with the studio since his stint with them in the 90's where he made A NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS and ED WOOD. His next film will be an adaptation of Lewis Caroll's classic tale ALICE IN WONDERLAND which will use the same motion-capture technique that can currently be seen in BEOWULF, matched with live-action footage. Burton will begin work on the movie early next year, with production expected to be completed by May, though it took at least two years for BEOWULF to be completed, so there will probably be a lengthy post-production period on this one. According to WIKI, there have been at least 12 big screen adaptations of ALICE IN WONDERLAND. The most famous easily been the 1951 animated version from Walt Disney, which popularized the character of Alice and her tale down the rabbit hole.
