Jamie Campbell Bower and Robert Pattinson apparently have two different visions for the Breaking Dawn adaptation.

In a recent interview, New Moon‘s Bower said would love to see his Sweeney Todd boss, Tim Burton, behind the camera for the fourth installment. “I think he’d just change it up. I think he’d screw around with it quite a lot, and aesthetically, I think it’d be incredibly different,” Jamie said. But which direction would Pattinson like to see the film go?

New Moon Vamp Wants Tim Burton to Direct Breaking Dawn

Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Action, Adaptation, Drama, Romance, Science Fiction, Sequels, Thrillers, Celeb News, Celebrity Gossip, Filmmaking, Upcoming Releases

Can a director for the fourth installment of the Twilight franchise, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, possibly get any darker than the director for the third film, David Slade? New Moon actor Jamie Campbell Bower thinks so!

The actor, who plays the vampire Caius in the second film, touts The Nightmare Before Christmas director Tim Burton: “I think he’d just change it up. I think he’d screw around with it quite a lot, and aesthetically, I think it’d be incredibly different. I don’t know if the fans would like it, but I’d sure like it.”

Wait a sec—haven’t I seen him before?

Tim Burton’s Unique Relationship with Johnny Depp

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrity Gossip

Tim Burton doesn’t know what he and Johnny Depp talk about.

The director - who is working on Alice In Wonderland, his seventh venture with the actor - admits he is regularly left perplexed when they finish discussing their work.

He said: “What do we talk about? That’s the thing - we don’t really know. It’s very nice to have someone that you can have a completely abstract conversation with and leave the room, feel like everything’s fine, and then realize that if you pick it apart, you have absolutely no idea what either of you said.”

The Colorful Characters from Burton’s Alice in Wonderland

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Disney, Adaptation, Adventure, Family, Technology, Upcoming Releases

No matter how you feel about Tim Burton‘s uneven work (Mars Attacks? Planet of the Apes?), there’s one thing that cannot be denied: His films are a visual treat.

Next year, the director will introduce Alice in Wonderland, an adaptation of the Lewis Carroll story. The movie, which uses live action and performance-capture technology, will be offered in 3-D.

Getting Into Character: Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter?

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Disney, Adaptation, Family, Casting, Rumors

Given all the characters we’ve seen Johnny Depp take on, is the Mad Hatter really a stretch?

Although the circumstances behind this image have not yet been confirmed, it’s believed this picture is of the 45-year-old on the Alice in Wonderland set. Since the Tim Burton film will be incorporating live action and performance-capture technology a la Beowulf, it’s not clear how this costume may fit into the Lewis Carroll update.

The 2010 release also features Mia Wasikowska (Alice), Helena Bonham Carter (the Red Queen), Anne Hathaway (the White Queen), Michael Sheen (the Cheshire Cat) and Crispin Glover (the Knave of Hearts).

Anne Hathaway Added to Alice in Wonderland Cast

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Disney, Adaptation, Family, Casting, Celeb News, Upcoming Releases

Who knew a horrible breakup could kick off the best part of one’s career?

In the last few weeks, Anne Hathaway has done a superb job moving past the issues in her personal life. She’s braved uncomfortable interviews, earned Oscar buzz for Rachel Getting Married and made people laugh on Saturday Night Live. (You can see one of her SNL sketches after the jump.) Now Anne’s adding a high-profile project to her resume.

It’s just been announced that Hathaway will be the latest star to join Alice in Wonderland. The Tim Burton film - which already boasts Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter - also features Mia Wasikowska as Alice and Helena Bonham Carter as the Red Queen. Hathaway is scheduled to play the White Queen.

Johnny Depp Attached to More Disney Projects

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Disney, Action, Adaptation, Adventure, Sequels, Casting, Celeb News, Upcoming Releases

Johnny Depp has just now officially sold his soul to the Mouse.

After starring in several blockbusters for Disney, the Oscar-nominated actor is ready to go back for more. The studio has just announced that the money maker will be starring in not one…not two…but three more projects for them.

In addition to reprising his role as Captain Jack Sparrow (yes, there will be a fourth Pirates of the Caribbean installment), Depp will be taking on the character of Tonto in an adaptation of The Lone Ranger.

Johnny will also - surprise! - appear in yet another Tim Burton film. Although it was already suspected that he would participate in Alice in Wonderland, his signature was only recently placed on the dotted line. Depp will now be joining Mia Wasikowska as the Mad Hatter.

Alice - which will use the same technology implemented in Beowulf - is slated to hit theaters in 2010.
