Two shiny new posters have been released for director Tim Burton’s surreal take on Disney’s Alice In Wonderland, starring Mia Wasikowska, Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, Anne Hathaway and Matt Lucas.

The posters (originally released on The Mad Hatter’s Facebook page) feature many of the film’s colorful cast and further cement the idea that this is a Wonderland the like of which has not been seen on the big screen before. Check them out in all their glory below, Alice in Wonderland steps through the looking glass on 5th March 2010 – don’t be late!

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.
