Oh, Alice!

The trailer for Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland is finally available on IMDB at http://www.imdb.com/video/imdb/vi4240966169. The release date is set for March 5, 2010.

Here's a trailer for the upcoming adaptation entitled Malice in Wonderland, which still has the vague release date of "some time in 2009":




In this version of the tale, Alice is an American student studying in England who is hit by a cab and wakes up in a very different world.

Also rumored to be released in September 2009 is Malice in Lalaland. It's not for everyone, of course. It might not even be for me. Then again, it might...

The following educational short was released last year:




In the preceding film Ed Watkins draws on Matt Ridley's The Red Queen Theory and its assumptions on sexuality, psychology, biology, and evolution and combines it with an Alice in Wonderland theme to explain the relationship between parasites and hosts. The Red Queen Theory is itself based on the character in Through the Looking Glass because of her statement of how it was necessary for them to run so fast just to stay in the same place (similar to how we constantly reproduce and evolve/adapt in order to recombine genes and maintain the stability/survival of our species, or so the theory goes).

It's true that there's an adaption of Lewis Carroll's stories every five years or so, but with so many coming out in such a short period, this is certainly one of the best times for someone to cultivate their obsession...er, I mean interest...in all things Alice.
