Public Enemies - What Did You Think?
Planet Disney has posted some new character photos from Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland, which appear to be scanned from a magazine. I have cleaned up the images a bunch, and included the cleaner versions after the jump. The photos include Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter, Helena Bonham Carter as the Red Queen, and Mia Wasikowska as Alice with The White Rabbit. No characters that we haven’t see previously, but each photo gives us a better look at the make-up and wardrobe of Burton’s Wonderland. Thanks to /Film reader Jason for the tip.

Five Behind The Scene Featurettes For The Princess and the Frog Spark Mild Controversy
Posted on Tuesday, June 30th, 2009 by Brendon Connelly
A series of promotional packages designed to hawk Disney’s The Princess and the Frog to its core demographic were broadcast during The Princess Protection Program TV movie on Sunday evening. As is always the way with these things, they found their way to YouTube. See all five embedded below the break.
What’s most interesting, at least if you’re not that fussed about The Princess and the Frog (though, in fact I am - I’m really quite fussed about it) is the mild controversy surrounding one newly unveiled character.

Posted on Wednesday, June 24th, 2009 by Peter Sciretta
Earlier this week Walt Disney Pictures released the first promotional character photos and concept art for Tim Burton’s 3D adaptation of Alice in Wonderland. Tonight Disney has sent us high resolution versions of the previous images, along with the official logo for the new film (above). After the jump is a collection of high resolution versions of all the photos and concept art released earlier in the week.
Walt Disney Pictures has released the movie trailer for the American redub of Legendary Japanese filmmaker Hayao Miyazaki’s latest movie Ponyo. The film will be released on over 800 screens, the largest American release yet for Miyazaki. And the trailer features some fantastic visuals which will hopefully appeal to the masses. You can see this trailer in theaters this weekend attached to My Sister’s Keeper or watch it now after the jump. As always, leave your thoughts in the comments below.

After the jump we’ve included newly confirmed details about the film’s plot (did you know its a kind of a sequel?) and new concept art that shows the White Rabbit (Michael Sheen), the egg-shaped Tweedledee and Tweedledum (Matt Lucas) and more.

SpoilerTV has the first set photos showing Monica Bellucci (Passion of the Christ, The Matrix Reloaded) in costume on the set of Jon Turteltaub’s The Sorcerer’s Apprentice. Loosely adapted from the classic story from Fantasia, and based in modern-day Manhattan, Nicolas Cage plays Balthazar Blake, a sorcerer who recruits and trains a young protege (Jay Baruchel) to help fight the forces of darkness. Bellucci plays Veronica, a sorceress and the long-lost love of Cage’s character. More photos after the jump. Warning: possible spoilers.

Posted on Friday, June 19th, 2009 by Peter Sciretta
Last month, DreamWorks Animation announced their plans for the next three years. The animation studio was developing three possible projects for the November 12th 2012 release date: Chris Sanders’ caveman comedy The Croods, Andrew Adamson’s adaptation of Terry Pratchett’s Truckers, and a Super Secret Ghost project which asks what ghosts think about humans. Apparently DreamWorks has settled on the ghost film, titled internally Boo U.
Cool Stuff: Lou Romano’s Color Script For Pixar’s Up in High Resolution
Posted on Tuesday, June 16th, 2009 by Peter Sciretta
Earlier this month we featured some of Pixar artist Lou Romano’s amazing color script for Pete Docter’s Up. But at the time it was very low res, a broad overview of the color board. Romano has now posted high resolution scans of all of the panels of the Up color script on his official blog. I’ve included some of my favorite panels after the jump. As a color script is an overview of the entire movie, be warned that it not only contains spoilers, but is a giant spoiler.
Thomas Haden Church Also Joining John Carter of Mars?
Posted on Saturday, June 13th, 2009 by Russ Fischer
Suddenly the John Carter of Mars news is flowing like crazy. Thomas Haden Church said on Reel Talk with Jeffrey Lyons that he’d be joining the film, in what he calls a ‘very dramatic role’. He’ll work alongside Taylor Kitsch (as John Carter) and Lynn Collins (as Dejah Thoris, heir to the Martian kingdom). Andrew Stanton will make his live-action directing debut with the film, which is written by Stanton and Mark Andrews, with additional recent work by Michael Chabon. Read More »
Lynn Collins and Taylor Kitsch Cast in John Carter of Mars
Posted on Friday, June 12th, 2009 by Peter Sciretta
Yesterday we learned that Andrew Stanton’s live-action debut John Cartner of Mars was gearing up for a November shoot in Utah, and that Tom Cruise was circling, but is no longer involved with the project. It stands to reason that in the coming weeks we’ll begin to hear casting announcements.
According to an interview at MTV, Pixar’s Up was originally an even more overt adventure movie, as a subplot featured Carl Fredricksen protecting a giant egg (laid by the bird Kevin) that is believed to be a sort of fountain of youth. The fact that a subplot was dropped from the film isn’t a big deal, as it happens all the time in many films of all types during development, but this detail provides an interesting glimpse into the film as it was originally conceived.
