What Is The Use Of A Book, Without Pictures Or Conversations?

Sarah has kindly drawn my attention to a new batch of photographs from Tim Burton's 'Alice in Wonderland'. These shots give a much better sense of the costumes and I love that each character is pictured with an animal.





Helena Bonham Carter's costume for The Red Queen is especially excellent. I still wish they'd done something with Anne Hathaway's eyebrows.

Eyebrows or none, this looks set to be one of the most anticipated movie releases of 2010.

Curiouser And Curiouser...

Pictures of some of the characters from Tim Burton's 'Alice in Wonderland' have surfaced online. As much as I love these shots, it's almost too obvious to have Burton at the helm of the live-action version of Lewis Carroll's classic novel, isn't it?

I posted some stills from Florence & The Machine's new video for 'Rabbit Heart (Raise It Up)' a couple of days ago. The video itself has now materialised and it's suitably ethereal and fantastical. I love it.



There's a certain Mad Hatter's Tea Party vibe to the whole affair, isn't there?

Incidentally, the lovely Dave McGovern drew my attention to this amazing video, which features a dance track made up almost entirely of pieces of dialogue from Disney's Alice in Wonderland.



I can't help but hear Alice say 'Mary said follow it along but I won't grovel'. Amazing.
