‘Toy Story 3′ to Open in Imax 3D

7 hours ago | Atomic Popcorn | See recent Atomic Popcorn news »

I’ve made the statement before that I think the whole 3D bit is starting to be overdone. However, I have to say that, if any movie would fit 3D well, it’d be Toy Story. Well, when Toy Story 3 opens in June, it won’t just be in regular theaters– it’ll also be opening in Imax 3D.

According to Imax CEO Richard L. Gelfond, “We have always envisioned the ‘Toy Story’ franchise as an ideal fit for The Imax Experience and we’re very happy to finally turn that vision into a reality.”

Toy Story 3 isn’t the only Imax treat moviegoers in 2010 will be able to enjoy.

Just last week, Summit Entertainment announce that Eclipse, the third film in the Twilight series, will open in Imax. Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland, Warner Bros’ Inception, and Dreamworks Animation/Paramount’s How to Train Your Dragon …

Johnny Depp Will Star in 'The Man Who Killed Don Quixote'

18 December 2009 7:49 PM, PST | Aceshowbiz | See recent Aceshowbiz news »

Johnny Depp could have another project lined up on his already busy schedule. Terry Gilliam, who is currently working on "The Man Who Killed Don Quixote", recently told Paste that the "Pirates of the Caribbean" actor will star in his upcoming drama fantasy. "Yeah, and I rewrote the script," the helmer said when asked whether the movie is going to have Depp on it.

In 2000, Depp actually had shot the "Don Quixote" film with Gilliam before the production was shut down. However, after the filmmaker announced in May this year that he is going to give the film a second shot, Depp was not sure that he will be returning to the role of a time-traveling character. "The thing with 'Quixote' is that my dance card is pretty nutty for the next couple of years, so I'd hate to put him in a position to wait for me. That would be wrong, …

New ‘Alice in Wonderland’ Trailer Online

17 December 2009 4:15 PM, PST | The Flickcast | See recent The Flickcast news »

Sure, all the news and focus of the internet, right now, is on the new Iron Man 2 trailer which, in my opinion deserves the amount of excitement that it’s inspired. But, that’s not what we’re talking about now. The new trailer for Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland, is online and gives us a pretty thorough, and spectacular glimpse into Burton’s creation of Wonderland.

We see the White Rabbit, the Red Queen and her main man, The Knave of Hearts, and yes, the Mad Hatter. It looks fantastical, and certainly Burton inspired, if still in that candy-coated look that he’s had on previous film Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

The film’s synopsis reads as, “19 year-old Alice, returns to the whimsical world she first encountered as a young girl, embarks on a fantastical journey to find her true destiny and end the Red Queen’s reign of terror. …

New Trailer for Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland Adds Dragons(!)

17 December 2009 4:22 AM, PST | Atomic Popcorn | See recent Atomic Popcorn news »

Disney’s released a new trailer for its big spring tentpole flick, Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland (in 3-D!).  A few new things revealed in this trailer:  the plot of the film is firmly established as taking place after the original story, and chronicle Alice’s return to the titular Wonderland, for one.

Also, here there be dragons!

While the film looks visually striking from this trailer, such digital eye candy tends to be a touch overwhelming over the course of an entire film (e.g. Sin City, 300, Sky Captain the World of Tomorrow).  Here’s hoping Burton can buck the trend.

Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland doesn’t hit theaters until March 5th, but you can catch this trailer in theaters this weekend in 3-D alongside James Cameron’s Avatar.  Check out the 2-D embed below:

Anne Hathaway has been involved in a minor car accident involving a cyclist in West Hollywood on Wednesday. Fortunately, no one was seriously injured in the crash.

The "Bride Wars" actress was in the passenger seat while her boyfriend, Adam Shulman, was driving around 1:14 in the afternoon when they hit a cyclist.

According to police sources, the cyclist was at fault. Paramedics were called to the scene, but the cyclist refused medical treatment and was able to bike away.

Hathaway will next be seen in Tim Burton's rendition of "Alice in Wonderland." She will play The White Queen, and will star alongside Johnny Depp, Crispin Glover, Helena Bonham Carter, and Mia Wasikowska.

Three New Images From Alice In Wonderland

16 December 2009 7:18 PM, PST | FilmShaft.com | See recent FilmShaft.com news »

Following yesterday’s fantastic trailer, Disney have sent us three new images for Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland.

The images, which can be seen below, feature director Tim Burton and starlett Mia Wasikowska working through a scene, Tweedledum and Tweedledee (played by Brit comedian Matt Lucas) leading Alice through a mushroom forest and of course the villainous Red Queen, played by Burton’s wife, actress Helena Bonham Carter.

If, like me, you loved yesterday’s trailer then you’ll love these images too, check then out below:

Tim Burton (Edward Scissorhands, Beetlejuice) attempts to work his gothic magic over one of the best loved stories of all time… Lewis Carroll’s ‘Alice In Wonderland’ and ‘Through the Looking Glass and What Alice Found There’, which first told the story of a young girl, who after following a rabbit down a hole, is transported to a strange world.

UK Trailer for Tim Burton’s Alice In Wonderland

16 December 2009 6:01 PM, PST | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »

A new UK trailer for Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland has just premiered and other than the intro, it’s mostly identical to the Us trailer Disney released earlier today.  However we do learn from this one is that Alice (Mia Wasikowska) escapes to Wonderland this second time to flee a marriage proposal, which leads me to believe there may be some slice-of-life element woven into the fantasy war epic.  Once in Wonderland, Alice plans to end the reign of the Red Queen (Helena Bonham Carter).  The film co-stars Johnny Depp, Anne Hathaway, and the voice talents of Stephen Fry, Crispin Glover, Michael Sheen, and Alan Rickman among others.

I’m a huge fan of Burton’s aesthetic, but the more and more footage we see of the actual film, the more I worry for it.  Here we get a feel for the hand-to-hand combat, which, cool though it is, …

Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland a Visual Trip (New Trailer!)

16 December 2009 5:11 PM, PST | TheImproper.com | See recent TheImproper.com news »

Alice in Wonderland” seems particularly suited to Director Tim Burton’s dark, exaggerated style and judging from the latest movie trailer, the film will be a surreal trip. Hopefully it will still retain the crazed charm of Lewis Carroll’s original work. The trailer cuts to Johnny Depp as the hatter, looking quite mad with orange hair, white face and a cartoon size top hat. Then it cuts to the Hatter’s mad tea party with Mia Wasikowska as Alice. From there it jumps to the stormy Red Queen played by Helena Bonham Carter and the White Queen, an almost translucent Anne Hathaway. Will Lewis Carroll be rolling in his grave? …

UK Trailer For Alice In Wonderland Features Key New Footage

16 December 2009 5:00 PM, PST | Slash Film | See recent Slash Film news »

The new UK trailer for Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland is markedly different from the Us cut in some very significant ways, all of which you can check out for yourself by viewing the embedded version lurking below the break. This edit has an extended new opening section that shows us scenes from the non-Wonderland set-up to the film, all taking place at a garden party during which Alice is proposed to. Note how her suitor, Hamish, has orange hair and goofy teeth at least a little bit evocative of the Mad Hatter’s. You can also snap a brief look at Alice’s mother, elder sister and Faith and Fiona Chataway, a pair of giggly teenage girls who just don’t “get” Alice at all. If you still somehow thought that this was a straight adaptation of the book, this trailer should pull the wool off of your eyes. …
