Tim Burton's 'Alice in Wonderland' Trailer
After months of chewing on these still-photo teasers, the trailer for Tim Burton’s "Alice in Wonderland" with costumes designed by Colleen Atwood has finally hit online.
Alice may be the namesake of this film, but Disney knows it's all about milking moneymaker Johnny Depp. His crazy-eyed face is the first to appear in the trailer and his name is the first actor mentioned. Not that we're complaining.
Back in November, right after Tim Burton’s exhibit debuted at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, Colleen Atwood talked to Movieline a little bit about designing costumes for "Alice in Wonderland," including a history lesson on the origin of why milliners were nicknamed “Mad Hatters.”
“The Hatter has a hat and the recognizable elements, but we explored the world of hat makers in London in the period. So we pulled from that for inspiration more than the previous illustrations, and Johnny used that for his character. They called hatters 'mad hatters' because they used these toxic glues and dyes all the time, and they were actually quite mad, a lot of them,” Atwood told the magazine.
