Canada.com has a new article online about the new film Alice in Wonderland with Alan Rickman, Helena Bonham Carter, Timothy Spall, Frances de la Tour and Stephen Fry.
Besides Depp as the maddest of Hatters, other headliners include Burton’s wife Helena Bonham Carter who plays The Red Queen and Anne Hathaway defining The White Queen. Newcomer Mia Wasikowska portrays Alice who will be an older teen and, word has it, more empowered than previous Alice incarnations.
Fans will notice other adjustments, but the most obvious will be Bonham Carter’s character – whose face is enlarged three times its normal size as the nasty and nuanced royal one – portraying an amalgamation of The Red Queen and the Queen of Hearts.
Others who may or may not be recognizable? Alan Rickman, Snape in the Harry Potter pictures, is the Caterpillar’s voice with the composite of his face digitally applied. Michael Sheen, last seen as David Frost in Frost/Nixon, portrays the White Rabbit, Stephen Fry is the Cheshire Cat. Christopher Lee is the Jabberwocky and Crispin Glover shows up as the Knave of Hearts.
