Tim Burton has teamed with Disney to handle directing duties for two new 3-D films – Alice in Wonderland and Frankenweenie.
Variety reports Burton (who is currently putting the finishing touches on Sweeny Todd for Paramount and Dream Works) and Disney will first get to work on Alice in Wonderland which will be a combination of performance-capture imagery and live-action footage. It is set to begin production early next year and be wrapped by May.
Alice in Wonderland’s script is being penned by Linda Woolverton based on the Lewis Carroll story.
When he finishes up his trip to Wonderland, Burton will turn his attention to Frankenweenie - which he will also produce. The film is based on Burton’s 1984 short film about a pet dog brought back to life by his owner. Frankenweenie will be filmed in stop-motion animation and released in digital 3-D.
