Movies: Early Peek at Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland
Given that the topic of discussion was Tim Burton's vision for his unusual adaptation of Lewis Carroll's classic work, it isn't surprising that USA Today introduced a first look at visuals from the film--scheduled for release next March 5--by observing: "You might have gone down the rabbit hole before. But never with a guide quite as attuned to the fantastic as Tim Burton."

"It has been Burton-ized," said producer Richard Zanuck. "The book itself is pretty dark. This is for little people and people who read it when they were little 50 years ago."
