Viral Video: Gaga In Wonderland

With Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland tearing up the box office, it’s no surprise we are getting plenty of parody videos taking on the odd film.

3D Reviews: Alice In Wonderland and Tron Legacy Trailer

I saw Tim Burton’s Alice In Wonderland at my local IMAX theater, and I must say, it was FANTASTIC! I’m keeping this review short because I’ve got a certain “something else” to cover in connection to seeing this film, but I can easily say that, including the brilliant 3D effects, Tim Burton did an excellent job and was VERY loyal to the feel of the famous Lewis Carroll books. The rest of this review and my take on the Tron Legacy Trailer after the break.

In what’s becoming our daily Tron Legacy update, MTV has confirmed that the much anticipated first trailer (not including test footage from last year) to the film will be debuting online next week.

Our friends at Firstshowing got a nice little present in the mail yesterday in the form of an Alice in Wonderland book full of surprises.

Alice in Wonderland Facebook Viral

I’m not a big fan of Tim Burton’s, but whenever he has a project coming out, it certainly gets a lot of buzz. His latest film, Alice in Wonderland, is no different. Burton’s unique visual style always draws attention and with Alice, Disney is using it to their advantage. In a clever marketing ploy, the studio is releasing three images, but only if they get 9,000 “likes” for the image on their Facebook fan page. Become a fan of the “The Disloyal Subjects of the Mad Hatter on Facebook” in order to participate. We already have two images, seen below, so now we just need a little over 2,000 more to get the last one.

Alice in Wonderland



From Walt Disney Pictures and visionary director Tim Burton comes an epic 3D fantasy adventure ALICE IN WONDERLAND, a magical and imaginative twist on some of the most beloved stories of all time. Johnny Depp stars as the Mad Hatter and Mia Wasikowska as 19-year-old Alice, who returns to the whimsical world she first encountered as a young girl, reuniting with her childhood friends: the White Rabbit, Tweedledee and Tweedledum, the Dormouse, the Caterpillar, the Cheshire Cat, and of course, the Mad Hatter. Alice embarks on a fantastical journey to find her true destiny and end the Red Queen’s reign of terror. The all-star cast also includes Anne Hathaway, Helena Bonham Carter and Crispen Glover. The screenplay is by Linda Woolverton.


Capturing the wonder of Lewis Carroll’s beloved “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland” (1865) and “Through the Looking-Glass” (1871) with stunning, avant-garde visuals and the most charismatic characters in literary history, Alice in Wonderland, comes to the big screen in Disney Digital 3D on March 5, 2010.

Friday Comic-Con 2009 Updates

So, by now, Comic-Con is in full swing and updates are pouring in constantly. Here’s the jist of what’s been happening so far:

  • Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland teaser is now online.
  • James Cameron’s epic AVATAR had it’s first footage screened yesterday, and, as expected, everyone loved it.
  • After the footage was shown, James Cameron let out a doozy: on August 21st in 3D theaters everywhere, 15 minutes of AVATAR will be shown for free.
  • In the Q&A for his new movie, The Book of Eli (a trailer is available here), Gary Oldman stated that, quote:

The next Batman is next year, so I think it is two years away. But you didn’t hear it from me.

  • District 9 had it’s first screening last night, and has yielded positive responses by everyone who saw it.
  • District 9 director Neil Blomkamp gave an update on the Halo movie, saying he’d rather work on his own ideas at this point, and that he’d probably turn the movie down if it was offered to him.
  • At the District 9 panel, Peter Jackson and Neil gave some insight into the film, including “District 9 was made for the scifi fans and was never made to transcend – if it does, its a testament to the story” and “inspiration for aliens in District 9 was that they were insects who have lost their queen and evolved” (paraphrased quotes are direct from Kelsey’s Twitter)
  • The Tron 2 (now known as TRON Legacy) teaser trailer that was shown last year is now available.
  • Speaking of TRON Legacy, Disney had quite a unique viral game for the movie last night.
  • And we have to mention New Moon, i guess. Two clips were shown and leaked online, but I recommend turning your sound down when watching. Despite all the screaming girls, the clips looked pretty solid.



So, those are the biggest things to pop out of Comic-Con thus far. Remember to follow our Comic-Con reporters, Rose and Kelsey, who will both be appearing as very special guests on this weeks ViralCast!
