Trailer

Alice in Wonderland

Mad Hatter - Alice in Wonderland Tim Burton and Johnny Depp have teamed up again for another interesting adventure, this time one we all know from our childhood, Alice in Wonderland. The trailer was released this week at ComicCon and the movie is set for a March 5th, 2010 release date. This is more of a teaser trailer, but the visuals are stunning and Johnny Depp is doing what he likes to do, strange characters. He does it so well.

Tim Burton and Johnny Depp have worked together for many years. You might remember Edward Scissor Hands, Sleep Hollow, The Corpse Bride, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Ed Wood and Sweeny Todd. Some of these movies have been great, some not so great; but all of them had memorable performances by Johnny Depp.

In Alice in Wonderland he plays the Mad Hatter and it seems that in this version, the Mad Hatter is the leading character and if the teaser is any indication the narrator of the story. The film looks stunning and Disney is releasing the movie in both Disney 3D and IMAX. I noticed the other day that the local theater already has posters of the movie up.

You can't tell much from the teaser trailer, but take a look for yourself. Don't forget that if you click on the HQ button you can get the HD version of the trailer and next to that button is the fullscreen button. My suggestion, go HD and full screen for this one. (The embedding may not work yet, if not just click on the View on YouTube Button).

Tron Legacy - Teaser

Tron LegacyI don't know about you, but I first saw Tron when I was a child. The year was 1982 and my dad took me to see it. We were both mesmerized by the movie. Not for the great plot or incredible writting, it was a "B" movie in that regard, but for the world that was created and the use of computer graphics. The movie had a $17m budget and domestically grossed about $33m. It was one of the first films ever to use computer graphics (remember this movie was made several years after Star Wars). The look was strange, and by today's standards incredibly simple; but in 1982 it was something wild to behold. There have been rumors of a sequel for years, but filming began this year on Tron Legacy, with an anticipated release of 2011.

Last year at the 2008 ComicCon Disney showed some fully rendered test film; which they re-showed this year at the 2009 ComicCon. Rumors are that footage from the film will be shown at some point. No trailer has officially been released.

Below you will find the ComicCon teaser as well as the original trailer to Tron. Just for comparison sake, the difference is amazing. 25 years is a long time and technology has come a long way. The movie is to be released in IMAX and Disney Digital 3D. One should easily expect that with Tron breaking new ground in computer graphics in 1982 that Disney will look to do the same thing again in 2011. At least one would think.
