Tim Burton may not be the director, but that shouldn’t keep fans of Alice in Wonderland from turning out for the upcoming sequel. The production design and look is haunting similar and as eye-popping as any Burton film, with The Muppets director James Bobin taking over the helming duties. Disney released a new TV trailer and it reminds us that the clock is ticking for Alice and her friends… for what, guess we’ll have to see!
Mia Wasikowska returns to the title role, with Johnny Depp back as the crazier than ever Mad Hatter, Anne Hathaway and Helena Bonham Carter return as the royal tandem and Sacha Baron Cohen (soon to be seen in The Brothers Grimsby) and Rhys Ifans joining the franchise as the villainous Time and the Mad Hatter’s father, respectively.
That voice that narrates the spot? Recognize it? Sadly, it’s the late Alan Rickman, who is dearly missed.
Alice Through the Looking Glass slides down a whole new rabbit hole on May 27.
