Alice-In-Wonderland-Slice A brand new trailer has been released for Tim Burton’s Gothic retelling of Alice In Wonderland. The Walt Disney production boasts a plethora of stars including Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, Anne Hathaway and Mia Wasikowska, the film lands in theatres worldwide next March.

The new trailer, which includes previously unseen footage, can be seen below, check it out for yourselves:

Tim Burton (Edward Scissorhands, Beetlejuice) attempts to work his gothic magic over one of the best loved stories of all time… Lewis Carroll’s ‘Alice In Wonderland’ and ‘Through the Looking Glass and What Alice Found There’, which first told the story of a young girl, who after following a rabbit down a hole, is transported to a strange world. Whilst the disney version of the tale relied on sweetness and light to delight the audience, Burton fans can be sure to look out for the same cartoon traits as earlier masterpiece ‘The Nightmare Before Christmas’.

The traditional tale has been freshened with a blast of girl power, courtesy of writer Linda Woolverton (Beauty and the Beast). Alice, 17, attends a party at a Victorian estate only to find she is about to be proposed to in front of hundreds of snooty society types. Off she runs, following a white rabbit into a hole and ending up in Wonderland, a place she visited 10 years before yet doesn’t remember.
