ALICE THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS | May 27, 2016
Director: James Bobin
Cast: Mia Wasikowska, Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, Anne Hathaway and Sacha Baron Cohen
This week has seen a number of teases for Walt Disney Pictures’ followup to ALICE IN WONDERLAND titled ALICE THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS. Well, now the first trailer for next summer’s release is finally here, which you can watch below.
The sequel, of course, takes place in Wonderland (Underland, whatever) and not Narnia, but you can’t deny it definitely feels that way. This time we revisit Lewis Carroll’s beloved stories with an all-new tale that travels back to “Underland”… to travel back in time.
Returning from the original film are Mia Wasikowska as Alice, Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter, Helena Bonhan Carter as the Red Queen and Anne Hathaway as the White Queen. It also features everyone’s favorite high-fiver Sacha Baron Cohen as a new character called Time. His powers allow Alice to visit Underland’s characters at different times in their lives.
Traveling back in time is always a unique tool to get more character depth, but it’s also a tricky thing to pull off. Let’s hope Depp can pull a white rabbit out of his Mad Hatter hat.
ALICE THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS opens on May 27, 2016.
