A couple facts to kick this most obvious of ZONINO! posts off. First off, Tim Burton is a genius. His style of directing is unique and unreproducable without being called out on it. Secondly, Johnny Depp is one of the best and most iconic actors of this century. He completely becomes his characters to the point of so disappearing into them that the viewer begins to forget the celebrity status of the performer (as it should be). Lastly, any project the two of them have embarked on together has been one of kind, inventive, and one that makes you know they enjoyed every second of making it.
The newest remake of Lewis Carroll´s Alice In Wonderland again is a monumental success between these two visionaries. Also staring an ensemble cast of Anne Hathaway (the White Queen), Alan Rickman (the Caterpillar), Crispin Glover (the Knave of Hearts), and frequent Burton/Depp collaborator Helena Bonham Carter (the Red Queen). Of course Depp's Mad Hatter is a deserved scene-stealer, but the real gem in the film is Australian newcomer Mia Wasikowska who plays the titular Alice with grace and an endearing quality, especially with such grandiose co-stars.
I hoep this isn't the last we see of Wasikowska or Burton/Depp. There are plenty of other trippy worlds yet to be uncovered by these two!
