Tim Burton does DARK. He does DARK very well. If there is a story to be told that you remember from childhood, chances are Mr Burton liked the same story for its DARK qualities. Yes, he does like to take our childhood memories and ensure that they come back in nightmare forms. That being said, his latest venture is the immortal tale of Alice in Wonderland. You don’t get much darker it seems. I imagine that ticket to see the upcoming film should be accompanied with a free 30 minute therapy session.

From a casting perspective though, his choices are rarely flawed. Today I have found out that this casting talent of his has been set in stone as he has chosen Matt Lucas for the roles of Tweedledee and Tweedledum. Naturally there are many famous names in the world that we do not know. However, if you do not know the name of Matt Lucas, then I urge you to get some therapy before the film goes into production (let alone after). Matt Lucas is best known for his roles (and writing credits) in Little Britain. Again, if you have not heard of this excellent British comedy programme then I urge you to seek help. He certainly has a scary manic baby look to him and as an actor, he has proven himself (see The Wind in the Willows). I am to see how Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland (starring Mia Wasikowska as Alice) pans out. What about you?
