Director Tim "Batman" Burton's "Alice in Wonderland" is based on author Lewis Carroll classic (public domain) novels "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" and "Through the Looking-Glass".
The film will use a technique combining live action, motion capture technology and stop motion.
Starring actress Mia Wasikowska as 'Alice', the feature will be released in Disney Digital 3-D and IMAX 3-D.
Screenwriter Linda Woolverton added a 'socio-political' context to the new story.
"The goal is to try to make it an engaging movie, " said Burton.
"...where you get some of the psychology and kind of bring a freshness but also keep the classic nature of Alice."
Sony Pictures Imageworks is designing the visual effects sequences.
"Alice In Wonderland" also stars actors Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, Anne Hathaway, Stephen Fry, Alan Rickman, Michael Sheen, Matt Lucas and Christopher Lee.
The feature will be released by Walt Disney Pictures March 19, 2010...
