Burton Confirmed For ALICE & FRANKENWEENIE

Variety has confirmed the rumors of Tim Burton tackling two new projects in 3-D format next year. The trade reports that Burton will direct the re-imagining of ALICE IN WONDERLAND first with shooting scheduled to wrap by May. The film will be combined performance-capture imagery alongside live-action footage. Burton will be directing a screenplay of the Lewis Carroll classic adapted by Linda Woolverton.
After he finishes that project, he's moving onward to FRANKENWEENIE, an full length adaptation of his 1984 short film. This one will be shot in stop-motion and shown in digital 3-D. His short film was about a pet dog brought back to life from his loyal owner.

All I can say is Tim Burton is great fit for Alice and I can't wait to see another stop-motion animation movie from him (Frankenweenie).

Alice by Burton? What a perfect fit. That is exciting news. Any reports on who would play Alice? You know who would be good? Evan Rachel Wood from Across the Universe. Or do you think she might be too old? Let's just hope he doesn't get Helena for the part. Maybe she could be the Queen.

Say hello to Alice in 3-D. According to Rotten Tomatoes, Tim Burton will be remaking Alice in Wonderland as part of a two-movie deal with the Walt Disney Company. Alice will be filmed in 3-D, featuring CGI and live-action footage. Burton's second movie, Frankenweenie, is based off of a short film he made in 1984. Both of these films will be in Disney Digital 3D when they hit theaters.

Haven't played the video game, just worried about the market being split.

Great choice of Tim, he seems very suited for the world of Alice.

I'm sorry for being ignorant, and apologize if this is a stupid question, but is this going to be the original cartoon Alice in 3-D format? Or is this going to be a Nightmare Before Christmas clay animation format?

Help me understand.

How awesome! When I saw the thread title the first thing to come to mind was, "Perfect! Alice in Wonderland just screams for Tim Burton!"

I'm super excited. This'll be great.
