Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter - The movie!

That is one awesome book trailer. Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter is written by Seth Grahame-Smith, author of the best selling Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.

Now it's also to be a movie. Tim Burton just purchased the book, and will be working with his fellow producer from the animated film, 9, Timur Bekmambetov (Wanted). Grahame-Smith will adapt the screenplay from his own book.

Lincoln experienced a lot of tragedy in his life, and Grahame-Smith reimagines that it was all due to vampires. The Axe is Lincoln's weapon of choice, and he hides it in his long coat.

His Zombie book is also to be a movie, with Natalie Portman attached to direct.

Love Johnny and Tim Burton together!

First official Pics from Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland

The film doesn't come out till 2010, but we have our first look at some of the characters. Johnny Depp is the Mad Hatter, Helena Bonham Carter is the Red Queen, and Anne Hathaway the White Queen. Alice will be played by relatively unknown 19-year-old Mia Wasikowska from Australia, who was beyond excellent as a suicidal gymnast on HBO's In Treatment.

Man, some makeup artists had fun with this film!!

9 Teaser Trailer

This looks really interesting. 9 was a 2005 Oscar nominated short by director Shane Acker, who was part of the Lord of the Rings special effects team. Tim Burton and Timur Bekmambetov (director of Wanted) have teamed up to produce a full length film also named 9, directed by Shane Acker. The animated film has the voice talents of Elijah Wood, Jennifer Connelly, Crispin Glover, Martin Landau, Christopher Plummer, and John C. Reilly.

The film takes place in a world parallel to our own, in which the very legacy of humanity is threatened. A community of fully mobile rag dolls living a post-apocalyptic existence find one of their own, 9 (Wood), displaying leadership qualities that may help them to survive. The conflicted but resilient community includes 1 (Plummer), a domineering war veteran; 2 (Landau), an aged inventor; 5 (Reilly), a stalwart mechanic; 6 (Glover), a visionary and artist; and 7 (Connelly), a brave warrior.

Looks amazing and I am very intrigued after watching the original short film. 9 will be out on 9-9-09!

First Look at Johnny Depp as Mad Hatter

Coming Soon says this may be our first look at Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter in Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland. Freaky!

Alan Rickman joins Alice in Wonderland

From EW:

Is it just me, or did Alan Rickman's promo pic for Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves strongly foreshadow his upcoming role as the hookah-smoking caterpillar in Tim Burton's adaptation of Alice in Wonderland? Alan Rickman's the latest star to sign on for what's shaping up to be the weirdest movie ever. Johnny Depp will be The Mad Hatter, as we know. Also on board: In Treatment's Mia Wasikowska as Alice, Helena Bonham Carter as The Red Queen, Anne Hathaway as The White Queen, and Crispin Glover as the Knave of Hearts. Christopher Lee will be involved as something (The White Knight, maybe?), and Danny Elfman will do the music.

I didn't know Alice was the girl in In Treatment! She is amazingly talented. Can this movie get more perfect? Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter, and Alan Rickman as anything I will just love. Crispin Glover also has the perfect otherworldly look. Awesome!
