Dear Tim Burton,
Johnny Depp is much too old and too brunette to play Alice. And so is Helena, for that matter. Expand your casting.
All my love and a comb,
Aimee
Oh, smacked in the noggin with a 2x4 wrapped in velvet. Yeah, that's what it felt like.

Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Tim Burton has to scouting for his next muse. There was Winona Rider, Christina Ricci and then HBC--besides JD, of course.

Art Crawl!!!
Aimee - so exactly what I was thinking.
Perhaps he can be the Red Queen?

My goodness, that movie is going to be art-directed within an inch of its life. I approve.
Aimee, don't be silly. Johnny Depp will be the Mad Hatter or the White Rabbit, and HBC will probably be the Red Queen.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
JD would make a decent Cheshire Cat, though. And I can see Tim casting HBC as the Red Queen.

Make JD and HBC Tweedledee and Tweedledum.
ETA: Before Iget hung up by my toenails, I'm totally just kidding. Cheshire Cat and Red Queen were totally what I was thinking.
Jim Broadbent as The Walrus.
Dammit, my stupid is showing. They aren't in Adventures.
Very glad Adventures is on my reading list for my children's lit class!

Hey. New board.
CAST ALICE YOUNG. If you can even vaguely pull it off. Alice is supposed to be, what, 7 or 8? Her stories don't work for me if she's any older than 10 or so...

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
yes unknown young Alice, please. And Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter or possibly the caterpillar and HBC as the Queen.

Hey. New board.
She's too old now anyway. She's headed towards the teen roles shortly.
I wouldn't have cried at her casting when she was younger, though. She's weird as hell, but she could almost certainly pull the role off. I'm not sure that many real children can.
