I happened to see a poster for the upcoming Alice in Wonderland movie.
Johnny Depp is the Mad Hatter, and he looks like an axe murderer. Seriously, he looks way too crazy. He has a painted face for god's sake!
I know that the movie is going to be different from the Disney version, but making the Hatter that creepy says that the movie may be leaning towards American McGee's Alice, rather than Disney's. A good thing? Or bad?

It's a good thing because Tim Burton is directing it. :D
*is so excited* That is my very favorite story. I love the Mad Hatter, no matter how creepy he is. x3

I have yet to play American McGee's Alice but the timeless tale of Alice's adventures has always been considered one of the creepier things to exist on this side of children's literature. I think it's fair if we get to see a more PG version. =D
Also, Tim Burton's directing?! =O

I may not have played it but I certainly know of it. There's a neat KH crossover with that version of Alice instead of the Disney version in a fanfic somewhere. XD

A good thing? Or bad? Leaning towards it? I guess so, but not in the same sense. Tim Burton is simply going to accent the dark overtones that naturally flow off of Alice in Wonderland. Much like he did when he directed Batman and that Willy Wonka remake. |

Disney is incredibly dishonest and part of why Folk Tales and Fantasy are now seen as childish.
These stories should be done some service.
Are you aware of the actual story and what the Mad Hatter does?
For all of time folk tales and "fairy" tales were considered for all ages and not outright censored for childrens sake.
It's in this century now that folktales/fairy tales are geared towards kids.
People realize if they get you young, you won't get nasty dangerous ideas and keep you thinking everything is alright.

And that is the reason it excites me that Tim Burton may be giving Alice in Wonderland the makeover it needs. A dark story with mature themes.
Though, the thought of him being unfaithful to the true story does cross my mind.

Lack of faith to the story of books in movies, always will happen.
At least until the attitude in Hollywood changes, they're going to aim at making money and not true art.
