Tim Burton almost never made Alice In Wonderland
Friday, March 5th, 2010Alice In Wonderland director Tim Burton said he almost never made the movie.
The filmmaker, who has previously worked on flicks such as Nightmare Before Christmas and Corpse Bride, is behind the new movie starring Johnny Depp and Burton’s wife Helena Bonham Carter.
The movie is more of a sequel than a remake and follows Alice’s return to Wonderland when she’s a teenager.
He said: “A few years ago, I don’t know if I would’ve been as intrigued [by the story]. There’s 20-something versions and I’ve never really connected to any of them.”
However, it was the chance to make a 3D version of the tale than finally made him agree to it.
He said: “The way the characters and images have infiltrated culture is so strong, I thought it was an interesting challenge.”
