Line #7 Trivia/AliceInWonderland2010


1	* ActingForTwo: The Tweedles are both played by Matt Lucas.
2	* BillingDisplacement: A given with any Creator/JohnnyDepp film. If the ads for the movie were any indication, you'd think this movie would be called "Johnny Depp Wears a Hat: The Movie."
3	* CastTheRunnerUp:
4	** At one point, Creator/AnneHathaway was offered the lead role. She turned it down, feeling it was too similar to roles she had played in ''Film/ThePrincessDiaries'' and ''Film/EllaEnchanted''. But she was keen to work with Creator/TimBurton and so took the smaller role of the White Queen.
5	** Creator/MichaelSheen was the original actor cast as the Cheshire Cat, but had to back out due to a scheduling conflict. Creator/StephenFry replaced him. (Sheen ended up voicing the White Rabbit instead.)
6	* CreatorBacklash: Creator/TimBurton apparently apologized for the film's mediocrity.
7	* CreatorCouple: Husband and wife Jim Carter and Creator/ImeldaStaunton both have roles in the film.
8	* CompletelyDifferentTitle: in Greece the movie is called "Alice returns to wonderland"
9	* FakeBrit: Creator/JohnnyDepp, Creator/CrispinGlover, and Creator/AnneHathaway are all American, while Mia Wasikowska is actually Australian. Averted with the rest of the cast.
10	* FollowTheLeader: The success of the film led to Disney making [[Film/DisneyLiveActionRemakes more re-imaginings]] of their classic animated films [[BrokenBase for better or for worse]]. ''Film/OzTheGreatAndPowerful'' is a more direct example, sharing this film's concept of "classic story set in a different point in its timeline."
11	* PlayingWithCharacterType: Creator/AnneHathaway had at that point gotten her start playing wholesome Disney heroines. The White Queen is a creepier take on them - she's in the UncannyValley, and WordOfGod says she surrounds herself with so much light imagery because she's too tempted by the dark side.
12	* RealLifeRelative: Creator/TimBurton and Creator/HelenaBonhamCarter's children appear as extras in the end scene.
13	* RoleReprise: Katsuhisa Hoki reprises the Dodo in the Japanese version from ''WesternAnimation/AliceInWonderland''.
14	* StarMakingRole: Creator/MiaWasikowska was getting some roles in America, but this and ''Film/TheKidsAreAllRight'' brought her to international attention - and she won a Hollywood Breakthrough Actress Award that year.
15	* {{Typecasting}}:
16	** Creator/JohnnyDepp as the Mad Hatter is pretty standard for his typecasting at the time.
17	** Creator/HelenaBonhamCarter makes the Red Queen into her usual dark nutcase types too.
18	* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
19	** Creator/LindsayLohan and Creator/AmandaSeyfried apparently lobbied for the role of Alice. Other actresses, like Creator/JessicaBrownFindlay, almost got the role and would have made it quite a different character.
20	** Creator/DwayneJohnson and Creator/DavidWalliams were considered for the role of The Mad Hatter.
21	** Early drafts had the Mad Hatter acting as a love interest for Alice. Remnants of this remain in the final film, although it's clear they're PlatonicLifePartners instead.
22	** Creator/AlanRickman's face was originally going to be composited onto Absolem's, and they filmed him speaking his lines in the studio. They scrapped this idea, but did still model Absolem's features off his.
23	* WorkingTitle: ''Alice''.
