Sitting in the Empire Leicester in London last night there was a tangible sense of anticipation for Tim Burton’s adaptation of Alice In Wonderland for Disney.
I’m under the embargo blanket until the 26th and I have a lot to say about this film, what it does well and what it doesn’t, but I stand by my tweet after the event, which went along the lines of ‘If you’re looking forward to this film, there’s a good chance you’ll enjoy it’.
It was a dizzying spectacle and great to see the multifarious marketing images and trailers coming together as a whole, and now there’s a new clip which MTV (via Latino Review) have hoisted online for us all to enjoy.
Set in the courtyard of the Castle of the Red Queen Alice and the Maroon Monarch come face to face for the first time. It’s a great scene although I realise now that much of the marketing plays heavily upon our collective consciousness surrounding Alice, and this is an obvious thing to do, but there’s a lot more Wonderland in Burton’s film.
Our review will be up on the 26th of February, here’s the clip…
