The real life of Abraham Lincoln was an amazing thing, but it’s about to become a lot more amazing with the news that 20th Century Fox will be bringing his fictionalized biography, Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, to the big screen, with Tim Burton and Timur Bekmambetov attached. Oh, and it’ll be in 3D, of course.
Seth Grahame-Smith, writer of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies and Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter, has a new gig that doesn’t involve creating monster mash-ups of old classics – because this one comes pre-monstered.
Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland is a trippy, manic joint. In such a good way.

Every Monday with “Freeze Frame,” we break down our very favorite sci-fi/fantasy/adventure moments – the scenes that we look forward to, that remind us why we so love this job. As you might guess, such discussions are riddled with spoilers. So consider yourself warned. (See previous Freeze Frame features here.)
Wonderland? I have the strangest sense that we’ve been here before.
This review is mostly spoiler-free. I was less interested in analyzing the fine points of the Alice mythology than in talking about how this fantasy fits into the larger arc of Tim Burton’s career.
I know, I’m squealing with glee too.

It takes a good deal of chutzpah to dictate anything when it comes to a Tim Burton movie. But that’s precisely what Disney is doing with his upcoming 3-D adaptation of Alice in Wonderland.
Wow, this looks great. It’s gotten, like, ten times better since the Comic-Con footage, which was kinda twee and overly Tim Burtonian.
