New Alice Character Pictures

A new magazine scan gives us a glimse of Alan Rickman's Caterpillar, the characters all look amazing, I cannot wait for the movie!

From http://www.slashfilm.com:
"The full-page image comes courtesy of Deviantart user Nate Lestrange who appears to have scanned it from a magazine (I’m guessing the official zine of Disney club D23, but it’s not entirely clear) while the Caterpillar close-up, I searched out and found at the Photobucket page of NBXZero."

If you've been following the Mad Hatter Fanpage on facebook, you know they're releasing something new tomorrow, possibly a better version of this picture, or maybe a new trailer? I'm hoping maybe a clip of the a Danny elfman track from the movie, that would be amazing! We'll have to wait until tomorrow to see what it is!

Alan Rickman Talks about Sweney and Harry Potter in an article from filmstew.com



Of Snow, Son and Sweeney
Alongside a couple of small films that very few people in North America have seen, actor Alan Rickman is set to follow up Potter with Sweeney Todd.

The focus of all the Sweeney Todd production stories has been of course Johnny Depp, longtime collaborator and kindred spirit to director Tim Burton. But let’s not forget supremely talented co-star Alan Rickman, forever lurking in the shadows ready to steal scenes. “I’ve had a great time on the film, and I do sing,” he relates to FilmStew by means of an e-mail interview. “It of course looks fantastic, and Mr. Burton is definitely all he’s cracked up to be.” New this week on DVD is Snow Cake, a drama about two wounded souls that reteams Rickman with his Galaxy Quest co-star Sigourney Weaver. First-time screenwriter Alexandra Pell wrote the role of Alex, a fatal car crash survivor, with Rickman in mind. But the actor says the real in-sync element of this project was working once again with Weaver. “Our previous happy time on Galaxy Quest was very much connected to the enjoyment of working together,” Rickman recalls. “So when it came to Snow Cake, we already had a kind of shorthand.” And despite receiving rave reviews at the TriBeCa Film Festival this spring for his portrayal of a self-centered philanderer in Nobel Son, the comedy-drama co-written and directed by Randall Miller (Marilyn Hotchkiss Ballroom Dancing and Charm School) has yet to find a North American distributor. This may be in part because of the particular sheen of the piece, one that is typically a hard sell in the U.S. “The tone is black (very black) comedy (very funny),” Rickman warns. “My character doesn’t care what people think of him and is somewhat surprised to find some metaphorical custard pies being pushed in his face.” Rickman is a co-star in Miller’s next film, the 2008 Napa Valley wine drama Bottle Shock, and in the shadow of this summer’s Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, it’s always easy for him to remind himself, as a member of the Council of his Alma Mater the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts, whence he came from. “I certainly remember auditioning for RADA,” he says. “These days, as a Council member, I often walk across the very spot where I auditioned. All I can say is it feels like a minute ago.”

Article From Chicago Times Talks Sweeney

'Sweeney Todd'

September 9, 2007

Oh, you know it's a happy holiday movie when you have a musical decked in red: Blood. And the main character is a guy with white hair: a killer barber. And the pie is not made of mincemeat, but man-meat. Welcome to Tim Burton's idea of a real nightmare before Christmas which is his musical "Sweeney Todd" starring Johnny Depp with sheers, Helena Bonham Carter, Alan Rickman and Sacha Baron Cohen.

Written by Burton and Jon Logan, the movie isn't exactly what some might consider a warm-hearted holiday flick. Depp is a barber who butchers victims in his barbershop chair by slitting their throats. He sends the bodies down a chute in the floor to the home of his mistress Mrs. Lovett (Carter) who then turns them into meat pies! "The beauty of it is Tim takes chances no matter when, no matter what," says Depp, who adds that the minute his favorite director approached him, he was in.

"I started telling people that the minute I put down my Pirates sword that I was doing a musical. People thought, 'No.' I said, 'Yeah, I'm doing it.'" Depp jokes.

Burton, who admits that he's "not a huge fan of musicals, but this one is my favorite" had adapted Stephen Sondheim's classic about a crazy love story. The movie is 70 percent singing with Baron Cohen as a rival barber who Burton swears has "amazing" singing chops.

But Burton isn't exactly Simon Cowell rating the singing of his cast members. He finds more glee discussing what this film really is all about for him.

"It's a horror musical," says the director.

Want some egg nog with that?
