Come And Join The Tea Party: A New Alice In Wonderland Banner

23 December 2009 3:50 PM, PST | FilmShaft.com | See recent FilmShaft.com news »

What will Disney’s biggest release be for 2010? While it’s anyone’s game at the moment, I think it’d be a safe bet to put your money on Alice in Wonderland, Tim Burton’s deliciously gothic sequel to the original story. Starring Johnny Depp, Mia Wasikowska, Helena Bonham Carter, Anne Hathaway, Crispin Glover, Matt Lucas, Alan Rickman, Stephen Fry and Michael Sheen, the film is certainly not short of star quality, and judging by the two latest trailers (here and here) it’s going to be one hell of an experience!

This leads me perfectly to today’s addition of a new Alice in Wonderland poster/banner. Featuring all of the central cast in what seems to be one of the Mad Hatter’s tea parties, it’s yet another wonderful look at the world Burton has created, check it out below:

Let's Have a Tea Party - New Alice in Wonderland Promo Art

23 December 2009 12:30 PM, PST | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »

I'm probably making way too big of a deal over one small bit of advertising art for Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland, but I love seeing this stuff. This new bit of art just popped up on JoBlo earlier today. Given the shape, I'm guessing this is billboard art that you'll see up soon if you live in Los Angeles or New York. It's definitely some eye-catching artwork, so bravo to everyone at Disney for coming up with this. I'm sure they're having a heyday with Alice in Wonderland, imagine the possibilities that graphic designers have with this! Anyway, since the last trailer got kinda buried, I'm wondering if everyone is still excited to see this? Alice in Wonderland is directed by visionary director Tim Burton, of everything from Pee-Wee's Big Adventure to Beetlejuice to Batman to Edward Scissorhands to Mars Attacks to Sleepy Hollow to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory »

Blu-Ray Review: ‘9’ Counts on Audacious Visuals to Pull in Viewers

23 December 2009 9:37 AM, PST | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »

Chicago – Seventy years ago, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer released a haunting animated short named “Peace On Earth.” Director Hugh Harman set his story in a post-apocalyptic world inhabited only by animals, who have rebuilt a society dedicated to peace and nonviolence. Mankind ultimately brought about their own extinction by forging never-ending wars.

With tough subject matter and a cautionary message, this groundbreaking cartoon proved that the medium of animation could be used for more than lightweight escapism aimed at children. In 2005, UCLA student Shane Acker made a thesis film that resembled Harman’s short, in terms of its setting and themes. Instead of animals emerging from the wreckage of a bombed-out wasteland, there were odd mechanical creatures with burlap skin and camera irises for eyes. This wordless, visually arresting short ended up snagging an Oscar nod.

Blu-Ray Rating: 4.0/5.0

In its feature-length incarnation, “9” delivers a thrilling visual experience on Blu-ray. There’s a visceral »

New Alice In Wonderland Trailer

16 December 2009 8:02 AM, PST | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »

Disney has released a new trailer for Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland and you can check it out after the jump.  While the teaser trailer for Alice looked cool, this new trailer is definitely going to wow you with some pretty incredible visuals.  In fact, with this trailer, we’re finally getting a real taste of the movie and in my opinion…it looks like the perfect marriage between story and visuals.  Because if there was ever a place that Tim Burton was meant to bring to life, it’s the magical world of Wonderland.  Also, the way he’s making the film, with a mixture of live action, animation and CGI, I think it’s going to be amazing.  Check out the trailer and judge it for yourself:

Edward Scissorhands is Real ... and He Cuts Hair!

9 December 2009 12:45 PM, PST | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »

A stylist in Florida offers a wild way to cut hair, Edward Scissorhands-style. Valentino LoSauro told UK newspaper The Telegraph, "I am a pianist as well as a hairdresser and wanted to combine that light fingered touch with my styling. So the 'Clawz' were born as a simple idea to bring a musicality to hair styling. When I cut the hair I use methods I call 'Flight of the Bumblebee' and 'Zap.'" According to him, it took him two years and £150,000 (about $243,557.46 in today's shoddy economic climate) to come up with his zippy creations. (The picture over on the right is just one Claw up close and personal.)

Now, I'm no hairdresser so I don't know if it would be a good idea or not, but I would totally let this guy near my Jewfro with his magical gadgets, which you can read about on the official Clawz website. »

Tim Burton Playing Cards – A Full House…of Twisted

9 December 2009 7:58 AM, PST | Fangoria | See recent Fangoria news »

Have you ever studied a pack of plain playing cards? Not very interesting! They’re usually just a bunch of spades, hearts, clubs and diamonds along with some Victorian era people. That is why card makers are constantly printing more interesting decks. Whether it be naked women, your favorite football team or even Lego themed cards, there’s something for most anyone, and now Tim Burton fans included.

The number cards for all suits on this deck are displayed in a slightly twisted fashion. The inherent design of each heart, club, diamond and spade are definitely a perfect cosmetic fit in the design style that Tim Burton brings to the table. The higher end cards (Jack, Queen, King and Ace) have specific characters on them, all of which have a resemblance to children, albeit as a zombie, sewing doll, mummy and a long past due zombie/vampire, depending upon your view, »

'Dark Shadows' To Shoot Next Fall

7 December 2009 9:05 PM, PST | CinemaSpy | See recent CinemaSpy news »

It sounds like Dark Shadows is definitely back on schedule, albeit a little more than a year later than originally anticipated.

According to Sci Fi Wire, producer Graham King said the film would be in production by next fall. Producer Richard Zanuk previously said work on Dark Shadows would begin in summer 2009.

The movie adaptation of the classic 1960’s gothic soap opera, which featured vampires, werewolves, ghosts, and other assorted creatures, will be directed by Tim Burton as his post-Alice in Wonderland project. Not surprisingly, Johnny Depp, who teamed with Burton on Edward Scissorhands, Ed Wood, Sweeney Todd and the upcoming Alice will star as the brooding vampire Barnabas Collins.

Burton is finishing post-production on Alice in Wonderland. As such, King said he is already prepping production on Dark Shadows with screenwriters, to make it easier for Burton to slide into it next year.

Johnny Depp And Tim Burton To Shoot 'Dark Shadows' Next Fall

7 December 2009 8:00 AM, PST | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »

Earlier this year we asked Tim Burton about his upcoming adaptation of "Dark Shadows," the '60s soap opera with a vampire protagonist and a generally supernatural edge. Before that even, we heard from both Burton and his intended "Shadows" star Johnny Depp that the TV adaptation would shoot next year.

Now we have an even more specific time frame to work with. Speaking to producer Graham King, Sci Fi Wire has learned that production will start on "Shadows" late next year. What, you want to know when? "We're actually going to shoot that film next September/October with Tim Burton and Johnny," he said. Which I'm guessing means that the movie will see a summer or fall 2011 release, presuming all goes as planned.

I don't have much experience with the TV series, but vampires are certainly what's hot right now. And for all of his experience, Burton's never done a proper vampire movie. »

Have a question about gay male entertainment? Send it to aftereltonflyingmonkey@yahoo.com! (Please include your city and state and/or country.)

A Note from the Flying Monkey: I recently wrote how weird it is that, completely coincidentally, I often get a bunch of questions all at the same time clustered around a central theme. Well, almost every question I received this week had something to do with music. Check it out!

Q: Oh, Great Flying Simian Even Smarter Than the Only Other Smart Monkey I Can Think Of, Doctor Zaius: You might not have heard about it because it was very hush-hush, but Adam Lambert kissed his keyboardist during a performance at the American Music Awards. Supposedly, it wasn’t rehearsed, but done “in the moment.” So what does the keyboardist think – and is he gay? – Martin, U.S. Virgin Islands

Birthday Suits, Well Directed

30 November 2009 6:05 AM, PST | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »

Lights. Cameras. Birthday Action (for this, the 30th of November). Only one month left to go and it's 2010. How crazy is that?

Ridley, Terrence (in the 70s) and Marc

1835 Mark Twain's books have been adapted into movies ever since the movies began. Most notably The Prince and the Pauper and any tale of Huck Finn or Tom Sawyer

1920 Virginia Mayo 40s and 50s star, frequent Danny Kaye foil

1926 Richard Crenna, character actor

1927 Robert Guillaume, "Benson"

1929 Dick Clark, seemingly immortal creature who may finally be destroyed by the rise of his spiritual offspring Ryan Seacrest. It's all very Cronos vs. Zeus, only without the thunderbolts

1937 Ridley Scott, manly director whose movies are usually way better when they're shot through with a strong female presence. Consider the three classics: Blade Runner, Thelma & Louise, Alien. The rest of the filmography surely has its moments but that's the trinity right there.

Thanksgiving's making me feel queasy | Hadley Freeman

25 November 2009 1:00 AM, PST | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »

But with Sarah Palin eyeing the presidency and Scientology in trouble there are at least reasons to celebrate

Americans do holidays better than anyone and, dammit, we have the obesity problem to prove it: two-thirds of us are now officially overweight and that figure, like the dial on the bathroom scale, is only going to rise.

One reason for this happens tomorrow: Thanksgiving, which falls smack in between Diabetes Night (aka Halloween) and Obesity Day (aka Christmas.) Imagine having Christmas dinner, twice, less than a month apart. It's not enough that our portions are bigger anyway, we have the whole meal again.

But if there's anything more American than eating an enormous meal twice, it's finding a justification to do so. So while the holiday itself might elicit groans (of indigestion), there are plenty of things this year that are worthy of a third helping of sweet potatoes with marshmallows, »

Syfy at MoMA

24 November 2009 8:53 AM, PST | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »

He had me at Beetlejuice. It was 1988 when I was first introduced to the genius that is Tim Burton. I was working at the BBC at the time, thirteen years before I joined Syfy. I recall feeling entirely blown away by the sheer anarchic imagination and black humor of the film. And being English and a fan of dark, surreal comedy which is, of course, part and parcel to the British psyche, there was a natural appeal to Tim Burton's twisted perspective on the world. Like many Burton fans, I have passionately followed and admired his incredible on-screen work, from Edward Scissorhands and Batman Returns to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. So I was thrilled when Syfy learned of the opportunity to support Tim Burton in an extraordinary exhibition at MoMA. »

Alice in Wonderland Costumer Colleen Atwood: 'It's Going To Be Amazing'

24 November 2009 7:00 AM, PST | Movieline | See recent Movieline news »

Think of the look of any Johnny Depp character from the Tim Burton universe -- from Edward Scissorhands' bondage buckles to Ed Wood's angora sweaters to the breeches and waistcoasts of Sleepy Hollow's Ichabod Crane -- and Colleen Atwood was the woman who envisioned and executed it. One of the most sought-after and gifted costume designers working in Hollywood today, Atwood has been nominated for an astounding eight Academy Awards, of which she's won two -- for Chicago and Memoirs of a Geisha. Just reading about her 2009 slate is enough to render you exhausted: good thing she had Depp's measurements seared into her memory when work began on Michael Mann's Public Enemies (which comes out on Blu-ray and DVD Dec. 8th); then there was the business of putting all those other Oscar winners into revealing outfits for Nine; and let's not forget Mr. Burton, who called »

Tim Burton Exhibit Opens at MoMa

19 November 2009 10:41 AM, PST | Atomic Popcorn | See recent Atomic Popcorn news »

Tim Burton is lauded as being one of the most creative forces in Hollywood. His films have a distinct style that sets them apart, and characterizes Burton as a stand out director. Now, his work is being moved from the big screen onto the walls of the Museum of Modern Art.

In an exhibit opening Sunday and running through April, MoMa will have on display film memorabilia, movie posters, and drawings by Burton– some going as far back as his childhood. The exhibit will also include a film series showing Burton’s feature and short films, along with movies that influenced him.

This is the largest exhibit MoMa has ever put on that displays a retrospective view of the works of a filmmaker. At a press conference for the exhibit, Burton thanked “everybody that raided my closets” to find the material for the exhibit, and described the process of collecting work, »
