For this go around, Tim Burton gives you his vision of how Alice In Wonderland shall be put to celluloid, based obviously from the popular Lewis Carroll novel. Depp will play The Mad Hatter, Hathaway as the White Queen, Bonham-Carter the Red Queen and Sheen as the White Rabbit.

Rated PG-13 for action violence and a smoking caterpiller ( yes you read that right ) 108 min.

Oscar chances ? If it's reviewed in critically favor and does well at the box office, then it stands a chance to crack the top 10. Depp will have a good chance in the Musical/Comedy category at the Globes. And the art direction and visual effects stand a very good chance at earning Oscar nominations.
