Re-Do: The Movie Edition

[MickeyMouse10]

Alice in Wonderland (2010) was definitely not my cup of tea. I love Tim Burton’s original works, but not when he’s adapting other people’s stuff. Everything from Willy Wonka to Planet of the Apes to Alice, doesn’t seem to portray the original film’s appearances.

Dawn French as the Queen of Hearts

Steve Coogan as the Blue Caterpillar

Nick Frost as Dweedle Dee and Dweedle Dum

Andy Serkis as Cheshire Cat

Alan Cummings as the Mad Hatter




also

Jim Cummings as the White Rabbit
and Eric Idle as the March Hare

I already suggested him for Scuttle, but I think Colin Mocherie would be a good choice for the Mad Hatter as well.

Who'd be Alice and the Dodo?

I figured Alice could be an unknown British actress. This way people could more easily see her in the role. Like what they did with the Harry Potter kids.

Speaking of Harry Potter, I haven't really thought of the Dodo. But perhaps Stephen Fry would be good in the role. He seems to have a high class, almost pompous demeanor in his various roles. Which seems in line with what the Dodo's demeanor tends to be in the original adaptation.

You definitely have some true legends of brit movies and tv. Dawn French is a really underrated comedic actor in the states. I'm surprised she doesn't get more work.

It's my opinion, so don't throw a hissy anyone, but I think British humor is usually pretty stupid. Except with The Office and Shaun of Dead.


P.S. Great job MM10, I actually don't have a negative thing to say about your splendid casting. ... Which is a rarity. Maybe I'm a getting a bit soft in my old age.

Steve Coogan as the Blue Caterpillar

Oooooooo I adore Steve Coogan in the Trip movies. He does a great Michael Caine impression and he's also much handsomer than he was when he was younger.

Yep, I like those movies. It reminds me of Seinfeld where it's mostly about the funny conservations. The storyline is a distant second behind the random stuff they bring up.

 

[Goofy Ninja]

Nick Frost doesn't look exactly like the Dweedles, but I do think he would personify the pair very nicely in other aspects.

Yeah, Shaun with the Dead is a fricking classic.

He be great as long as they let him be funny. He's hilarious, so you got to use that more with the characters.

 

[RunForestRun]

I usually watch British Mysteries, but I do spot a few regular crime shows every once in a blue moon. There's definitely plenty of great actors that aren't very known by Americans.

 

[Rambozo]

Andy Serkis as Cheshire Cat

Great actor, that unfortunately has been in a lot of Disney duds lately. But being in the Lord of the Rings and Planet of the Apes more than makes up for it. If they are going to motion cap he's definitely the guy. The guy probably could teach a class on it now.

Yeah, I always like him in whatever he's in. He's one of the rare actors that really wears his emotions on his face. Even when he's Gollum and Caesar (from planet of the apes).

 

[The Lochness Monsta]

Yep, Andy Serkis was completely underused in the sequel trilogy. That was a total botched job my Ruin Johnson. That guy is so overrated it's ridic.

 

[Rambozo]

Alan Cummings is a great character actor too. I even liked him on that Sherlock-like show "Instinct" that he was on. Where he was the smartest one in the police force. I was surprised that got canceled, especially when there is so much crap on tv.

 

[Snow Queen 83]

I'm a fan of the original animated version. So I was highly disappointed in Mister Burton's version. I think with Disney toons you use the KISS plan and Keep it simple stupid. Just go with the source material and don't makeup unnecessary things.

 

[oogie boogie man]

I see your point Tim should do Tim stuff.

Whenever he goes away from his stories and goes with already established ones it isn't the same. I love Nightmare, Ed Wood and Scissorhands, because it is fully Burtonesque. I do love Wednesday, but the Addams Family always seemed Burtonesque, even before he made his first film.

 

[PrinceCharming617]

Jim Cummings as the White Rabbit
and Eric Idle as the March Hare

Oooooo yeah, yeah .... yeah.

Great voice actors, that's all you really need for the non human ones. Anyway it's not like you need them to actually look like rabbits. hahaha

 

[Frankenstein79]

The live actions all suck... so to me it doesn't matter.

 

[The Great Gonzo]

I don't know know about Eric Idle he doesn't even remember that he filmed the Figment video. Might be best to go with someone who isn't senile.

Hey, young man! This gray hair don't mean a thing.
