With Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland just a few months away, there's a lot of renewed interest in Lewis Carroll's classic fairy tale. One author who has long been fascinated with it is Frank Beddor, who crafted the series of novels collectively known as The Looking Glass Wars, a very different take on Alice's story that takes the concept of Carroll being inspired by the true stories of Alyss Heart, the heir to the Wonderland throne he encounters when she escapes during a coup by the evil Redd. The popular novels have spawned spin-off games and graphic novels.Latest Headlines:

One Alice and Wonderland directed by Burton is satisfying enough.
Read the books--Hatter M is the best character (but don't bother with the graphic novel). It could make a good movie if they hire the right writer and not some crapfest guy.
I do have to agree that Hatter M is the best character in the books. While the graphic novels did not do so well for the character, I blame that more on the artist than the writer. It was just too dark and too jagged, and I hope that it isn't used as inspiration for the movie. "A really visually world" just cannot be done if it's all done at night.
My only concern for the movie would be how the Caterpillars are portrayed. I fear that, in order to appeal to a younger audience, they will not be true to the books because of their smoking habits. I pray that, when a teaser finally gets released, we'll have more of an idea if the movie will be good.
