More eye-popping pix from Burton’s ‘Alice’

The Interwebs continue to get their paws on more and more photos from Tim Burton’s Alice In Wonderland, which will be released by Disney in March 2010.

You may have already seen Johnny Depp as The Mad Hatter — and had subsequent nightmares — and today, Empire got its hands on a new picture of Anne Hathaway as the White Queen. (And it’s not the one at right — you’re going to have to follow the link to check this out.)

Plus in Empire’s picture, it looks like Anne’s chatting with the Dormouse. (And remember what the Dormouse said… feed your head!)

They’ve also got great shots of Depp, Helena Bonham Carter as the Red Queen (nightmare part two) and Mia Wasikowska as Alice.

• Watson’s breaking away: Daniel Radcliffe got stark naked in Equus, Rupert Grint got driving lessons from Julie Walters and now, finally, Emma Watson’s spreading her wings.

The last of the three Harry Potter leads to try other cinematic roles, Watson — aka Hermione — is looking at a part in an upcoming musical helmed by, of all people, Marilyn Manson, according to wenn.com. (Thanks for the link, imdb!)

There’s breaking away, and then there’s jumping off the cliff.

• Superhero casting update: Since I wrote last, there’ve been two fairly big announcements — first, that Ryan Reynolds is slated to play Green Lantern, and second, that Natalie Portman is down to play the love interest to Thor.

I know I’m about to let my geek flag fly here, but I think the casting of Reynolds is spot on, at least from a physical appearance point of view. Hal Jordan, aka the Lantern Reynolds is playing, has always been drawn as a lean but well-built guy, which pretty much describes Reynolds.

Sadly, I never was much of a Thor fan, but Portman’s casting did raise a few eyebrows.
