once i learned that the movie would be filmed in that sort of weird, headache inducing half animation/half live action bullshit they did the Beowulf film in, i was a little worried. more than a little actually. as a die hard fan of weird, thought inducing movies i was excited to finally see a live action version of this weird, thought inducing story. so you can probably picture my disappointment of burton's reluctance to do a full scale live action.
this quote from him actually gives me a lot more perspective on his vision for the film:
“It’s a funny project. The story is obviously a classic with iconic images and ideas and thoughts. But with all the movie versions, well, I’ve just never seen one that really had any impact to me. It’s always just a series of weird events. Every character is strange and she’s just kind of wandering through all of the encounters as just a sort of observer. The goal is to try to make it an engaging movie where you get some of the psychology and kind of bring a freshness but also keep the classic nature of ‘Alice.’ And, you know, getting to do it in 3-D fits the material quite well. So I’m excited about making it a new version but also have the elements that people expect when they think of the material.”
im gonna follow this movie from pre-production through its release so expect alot of coverage.
