UPDATE: I originally posted this a couple days ago, but the picture quality wasn’t that great.  Now it’s up in HD.

After the jump I’ve got the first trailer for Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland, starring Mia Wasikowska (Alice), Johnny Depp (Mad Hatter), Helena Bonham Carter (Red Queen), Crispin Glover (Knave of Hearts) and Anne Hathaway (White Queen). The quality’s not the greatest and it’s super CGI-heavy, but my favorite part is when Alice drinks a potion and she starts to shrink and her dress falls off.  Excuse me, waiter?  My date will have what she’s having.

It would’ve been nice if Yahoo had gone live with these new pictures from Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland this morning with the others so I could’ve posted them all at once.  It would also have been cool if the smallest picture wasn’t Mia Wasikowska as Alice, the one whose picture I most wanted to see (she just seems pretty and nice).  But alas, God hates me.

The other picture is Matt Lucas (from Little Britain – woof) as both Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum. At first I was really impressed with the makeup job they did on him, but then I realized that’s pretty much what he already looks like.  I heard Little Britain was a big hit in the U.K. and I tried to watch it a couple times, but it just seemed like a more annoying, male version of the Tracey Ullman show.  I didn’t really see the appeal, but it’s yet more evidence for my thesis, British People Are Inexplicably Fascinated by Cross-Dressing.

Tim Burton has cast Australian actress Mia Wasikowska, who looks like a giraffe I’d like to bone and is apparently on In Treatment, in his adaptation of Alice In Wonderland for Disney.

The film, based on a script by Linda Woolverton ("The Lion King"), will be produced by longtime Burton collaborator Richard Zanuck, former Disney chairman Joe Roth and Jennifer and Suzanne Todd. It will be shot with live-action and performance-capture footage and presented in Disney Digital 3-D. Disney creative executive Jason Reed will oversee the project, set to begin principal photography in November. [Hollywood Reporter]

I’m pretty sure it’s impossible to read "Wasikowska" without a question mark on the end.  In any case, I can only hope she’s preparing for her role by listening to Jefferson Airplane in the tub while Johnny Depp throws grapefruits at her head.
