Tim Burton Confirms Alice in Wonderland Footage at Comic-Con
18 July 2009 8:38 PM, PDT | From TheHDRoom | See recent TheHDRoom news
One of the most anticipated films coming to Comic-Con is Tim Burton's 3D reworking/sequel of Alice in Wonderland. Images of Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter, Helena Bonham Carter has the Red Queen, Mia Wasikowska as teenage Alice, and Anne Hathaway as the White Queen have been colorfully delicious, but moving footage has remained elusive. In talking with MTV News, Burton revealed, cryptically, how he plans to promote Alice in Wonderland at Comic-Con next week. "[It's] a kind of a semi-trailer," Burton said. "It's where we're at at the moment. There's not a lot of footage to show." The film is still a ways off so the lack of complete footage is understandable, but I suspect what he brings will not only look complete but jaw-dropping all the same. Burton also spoke candidly about how he and Depp approached the Mad Hatter. "When you look at most interpretations, everything is pretty one-note,

Burton to Show 'Wonderland' Footage at Comic Con
18 July 2009 1:45 PM, PDT | From GetTheBigPicture.net | See recent Get The Big Picture news
MTV (via Screenrant) reports that Tim Burton will show off our first footage for Alice in Wonderland next week at Comic Con. Burton is a producer (along with Wanted director Timur Bekmambetov) of Shane Acker's 9, which, at least until now, was the main reason he was attending the event. But now all the focus will shift to Wonderland.
“[It's] a kind of a semi-trailer…It’s where we’re at at the moment. There’s not a lot of footage to show," Burton said. I imagine the amount of footage won't matter to the fans in attendance; they'll be more than happy to be the first crowd to see any of it, outside of production photos and leaked pics from the set.
Because there's still a mountain of work to be done on the movie, including all the post-production wizardry that will make the 3-D live-action/CGI hybrid worth the price of admission,

Tim Burton To Premiere ‘Wonderland’ At Comic-Con
18 July 2009 1:01 PM, PDT | From ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news
Tim Burton has already been announced to appear at this year’s Comic-Con (for the first time in over 30 years) to promote his produced animated film, 9. However, that’s not the only thing Burton is there to promote - he’s also bringing with him the very first footage of his upcoming adaptation of Alice in Wonderland.
Joy be for Tim Burton fans!
Not only is Alice in Wonderland to have its first footage shown at the Con, but it’s being described as a “semi-trailer.” What’s that, I hear you ask? Well, let’s let Mr. Burton himself explain:
“[It's] a kind of a semi-trailer… It’s where we’re at at the moment. There’s not a lot of footage to show.”
It’s understandable that Burton wouldn’t have a full trailer for Wonderland yet, considering the movie’s still a while away and they’re not

Sneak Peek Comic-Con Images: Iron Man 2, Alice in Wonderland, Zombieland
17 July 2009 10:26 PM, PDT | From TheHDRoom | See recent TheHDRoom news
Friday morning is off to a fantastic start thanks to a new offering of Comic-Con preview images from Entertainment Weekly. The two most notable images are of Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark in Iron Man 2, and Mia Wasikowska as Alice in Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland. The Tony Stark image is likely taken just after he's had a tussle with Whiplash. The third and most eye-catching image comes from Zombieland starring Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg, Abigail Breslin, and Emma Stone. It features a lucky child actor who will forever have bragging rights on her classmates. The final image comes from Stargate Universe and gives a flavor of the more dramatic and sexual tone the producers are going for. Executive producer Robert Cooper offers this preview, "Out are the rubber-faced, alien, English-speaking bad guys; in is a darker, sexier, more character-driven story about a group of civilians, scientists,

‘Kick-Ass’ Footage To Premiere at Comic-Con
17 July 2009 10:17 PM, PDT | From ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news
In our previous coverage of the teen superhero film, Kick-Ass, we reported that director Matthew Vaughn would premiere the first footage of the film at Comic-Con. Now, thanks to an interview with the MTV Movies Blog, we know exactly what we’ll be seeing, and it sure sounds good to me.
Rather than putting together a rough trailer for the move, Vaughn has opted to show four whole scenes from the movie’s first act to help newcomers to the comic get a better feel for the story and the characters.
“They’re all good scenes. Not the best scenes in the movie, but they set up what the film is about…I’ve got seven scenes at the moment, and I have to get it down to four. I’m literally sitting here and editing right now. It’s coming straight from the Avid [video editor], so it’s not going

Comic Con 2009 Footage of 'Alice in Wonderland' a Semi-Trailer
17 July 2009 8:44 PM, PDT | From Aceshowbiz | See recent Aceshowbiz news
During forthcoming "Alice in Wonderland" presentation at San Diego Comic Con 2009, director Tim Burton will present a footage from the 3-D re-imagining project in the form of a "semi-trailer". Revealing the matter to MTV News, the Golden Globe-winning helmer spilled, "[It's] a kind of a semi-trailer. It's where we're at at the moment. There's not a lot of footage to show."
The man behind "Sweeney Todd" further explained the reason why he is only able to show the semi-trailer. "It's a strange process we're dealing with," he shared. "We're using a mix of techniques. If you picked them apart, each technique has been done before. We're mixing them up, in a way. I wish we had more footage to show. It's a real mysterious puzzle that's frightening and exciting at the same time."
Beside providing details for the Comic Con 2009 panel, Burton also gave a little inside information of the movie.

Exclusive: Tim Burton To Present 'Semi-Trailer' For 'Alice In Wonderland' At Comic-Con
17 July 2009 2:30 PM, PDT | From MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news
Yesterday we told you that Tim Burton will be heading to Comic-Con next week—for the first time in over thirty years!—to show off new footage of the post-apocalyptic animated film that he produced, “9.” Burton is also bringing footage from his 3-D adaptation of “Alice in Wonderland”—which has never been shown in public!—and today MTV News can reveal that the footage in question will be a “semi-trailer.”
A what? Allow the man himself to explain.
“[It’s] a kind of a semi-trailer,” Burton said. “It’s where we’re at at the moment. There’s not a lot of footage to show.”
The reason is that the technological challenges of blurring the lines between live-action, motion-capture and animation have proved to be massive. “It’s a strange process we’re dealing with,” he explained. “We’re using a mix of techniques. If you picked them apart, each technique has been done before.

Comic Con Preview Pics: 'New Moon,' 'Iron Man 2' and More
17 July 2009 12:15 PM, PDT | From Cinematical.com | See recent Cinematical news
Next week's San Diego Comic Con is being pitched as a battle between the geeks and the girls -- at least on Thursday, when a panel for The Twilight Saga: New Moon is expected to draw thousands of teen girls, while a panel for James Cameron's Avatar is expected to draw thousands of geeks of all ages. I'll be watching from afar. In the meantime, new images have been released to whet your appetite.
The Los Angeles Times reports from the New Moon set in Vancouver, Canada, describing green screen moments and heartthrob murmurings, courtesy of Robert Pattinson. Of course, he's not in the pic, which shows Bella (Kristen Stewart) and Jacob (Taylor Lautner) sharing an intimate moment in a car. (Jacob, you sly devil! Make your move, dude!) The money quote comes from director Chris Weitz in regard to visual effects: "That's not my thing." Weitz will be

Scrape away all the wizardry, and the Harry Potter films are about a company that unites behind a leader to defeat its foes. Which got us thinking about the real world wizards of finance and technology. In short, who in the business world is equivalent to our heroes and who deserves the title of He Who Must Not Be Named?
Scrape away all of the wizardry, and the sixth Harry Potter film is about a company that unites behind a leader to defeat its foes. Which got us thinking about the real world wizards of finance and technology, and how they would map onto the characters in the film. In short, who in the business world is equivalent to our cast of heroes and who deserves the title of He Who Must Not Be Named?
He's the chosen one. Everyone looks to him to stop the threat facing the world.

From Movies Blog: The computer animated fantasy "9," from Oscar-nominated short director Shane Acker, has me pretty excited. For starters, the art style is wild.

Tim Burton Assembles 'Mysterious Puzzle' For 'Alice In Wonderland'

Johnny Depp in "Alice In Wonderland"
Photo: Disney
First-look photos of the newest, nuttiest "Alice in Wonderland" movie — Johnny Depp's Mad Hatter with squiggles of orange hair leaping like flames from his head, Anne Hathaway's White Queen sealing shut her blood-red lips — popped out of the rabbit hole that is Tim Burton's wacked-out mind in June.
Actual footage of the big-screen version of Lewis Carroll's famed children's story, though, has not yet surfaced. But at San Diego Comic-Con on Thursday, Alice and her troupe of wackadoodle creatures will move among us — albeit on Disney Digital 3-D.
Before heading to that altar of movie geekdom, Burton spoke with MTV News about the flaws of earlier "Alice" adaptations, what it takes to make an unforgettable Mad Hatter,

Comic-Con Preview Photos: Iron Man 2, Alice in Wonderland, Zombieland, Kick-Ass
16 July 2009 11:38 PM, PDT | From /Film | See recent /Film news
Entertainment Weekly has published their preview of some of the movies which will be present at next week's San Diego Comic-Con International. The photo above from Iron Man 2 shows Tony Stark in a racing suit. The blood on his face leads us to believe this has been an altercation or accident at the race track. It's very likely that this shot is the opposite of the Whiplash photo that was published last month. Head on over to EW.com to see all the photos in one of those annoying Slideshows. I've published a couple of the more interesting ones after the jump, including a new shot of Alice from Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland, a crazy child zombie from Zombieland, and a new photo of Kick-Ass and Red Mist in Mist's Red SuperCharged Mustang Saleen.

You can check out more photos or get more info on any of these by clicking them below.

Brand New Clip from ‘9′ Released
16 July 2009 7:29 PM, PDT | From The Flickcast | See recent The Flickcast news
Who says there’s nothing good to watch tonight? Well don’t worry, we’ve got you covered — at least for a few minutes — with this brand new clip from the highly anticipated film 9, directed by Shane Acker and Exec. Produced by Timur Bekmambetov and Tim Burton.
In this new clip, we’re treated to a pretty cool scene where the Stitchpunk Beings are being attacked by “The Winged Beast” which, by the looks of it, is something you really don’t want to be attacked by. Before you take a look at the clip and just in case you’re not familiar with the film, it concerns the character 9, who finds himself in a post-apocalyptic world where all humans are gone. It is only by chance he discovers a small community of others like him taking refuge from fearsome machines that roam the earth trying to destroy his kind.
