Tim Burton continues to meld his dark fantasy style with classic tales as displayed by several concept art and photos posted on USA Today for the upcoming film adaption of  Alice in Wonderland.  The story is being billed as more of a sequel than a direct adaptation:

“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.”

Featuring Mia Wasikowska as Alice, Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter, Helena Bonham Carter as the Red Queen, and Anne Hathaway as the White Queen.  The release date is currently set at March 19, 2010.
