Boy, Tim Burton sure is ambitious. First I hear of his plans to do the Dark Shadows movie with Johnny Depp. And now I see that he's also doing a weird movie version of Alice in Wonderland , also with Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter, and with his lovely wife Helena Bonham Carter (who I absolutely love, but who can look absolutely freakish sometimes) as the Red Queen. This might not be news for some of you, but I just found out about it this weekend.

also, when we went to see Terminator the other day, we saw the trailer for the animated movie called 9 - I thought it was a Tim Burton movie but when I look at the imdb, he's listed as the producer only. it looks like a very bizarre and dark movie. but wasn't this a short film first? or is it still? I'm confused...

in other news, it looks like it will be a hot day - and a hot week. And my boss is sending me to some off site storage unit to get a file. he calls it an "adventure" - I call it a pain in the butt!

I posted about 9 in February! It was a short film (full video at my post), and got picked up by Tim Burton to be made into a feature length, still directed by the guy that made the short film I believe. Last I knew it is coming out on 9/9/09! :D

I'm looking forward to Alice in Wonderland, it is perfect for being Burtonised! :D

OMG I am so excited for Alice in Wonderland! It's one of my favorite stories, and I don't care that Tim uses all the same people in his cast, lol. I love Johnny Depp.

It's hot here as well! Argh. 87 tomorrow. Yikes.

I heard about the new Alice film from Stephen Fry - I follow his Tweets. He's the Cheshire Cat. Looks like an interesting take on the story.

I'm looking forward to 9. I didn't know about the Alice movie. I don't really see Johnny Depp as a Mad Hatter type, but what do I know? :) How did you like Terminator, btw?

If my boss sent me out of the office, I'd probably make it a...leisurely trip. Good time for ice cream, perhaps. ;)

All I can say is thank heavens we have Tim Burton in this lifetime, genius, even if I havent enjoyed all of his work....

Oh yeah, I can't wait to see Alice in Wonderland as well as 9... my pops show me a trailer for it a couple of months ago and I think it looks goooood.

Hope your "adventure" doesn't suck too badly!

I saw some of the stills of the movie a few weeks back, it looks so surreal and amazing.
