Alice In Wonderland was definitely one of my favorite stories growing up and knowing that it will soon come to theaters (March 2010) in live action/3D, directed by Tim Burton….JUST BLOWS MY MIND!!!

.

Tim Burton has chosen to update his version of the classic fantasy story — earlier adaptations of the story were too disjointed and episodic, he’d concluded. So in his version, Alice (Mia Wasikowska), now 17, is revisiting a Wonderland that she has forgotten.

.

I’m not sure what to expect, but all I know is that the characters look awesome and being a huge fan of Tim Burton, I can only hope for something very trippy, dark and creepy.

For some reason, I have always enjoyed dark interpretations of Alice.

.

Do you remember the game American McGee’s Alice? It’s a third-person action PC video game released on October 6th, 2000.

.

Alice’s house is burned down by a fire, killing her parents, and leaving her as the only survivor. Because of the guilt, she tries to commit suicide (bandages can be seen on her wrists), and becomes catatonic.

They also made action figures of these creepy characters, which you can still find online.

Here’s English artist Trevor Brown’s vision of Alice. His works are controversial. The subject matter are often young girls and morbidness. Not for the faint of heart.

And to lighten things up…here’s a cool Alice remix by Pogo. An electronic piece composed using sounds recorded from the Disney film ‘Alice In Wonderland’.  Enjoy!
