Metromix got to sit down with Tim Burton in a Q&A session about “9″, “Alice In Wonderland” and another of his upcoming movies “Dark Shadows”.

How are things coming along with “Dark Shadows”?
I haven’t really started that at all. I still have to finish “Alice.” So that’s a big job ahead of me. It’s way too early. [Laughs] Probably in a year’s time.

“Alice” has been all over the place, with photos and trailers and you guys at Comic-Con.
Usually I don’t talk about something before it’s done. So it’s been an odd situation because I [still] have so much work to do. I’m not scared of [all the special effects], per se, but I’m a bit daunted by the time and the unknown quality of it. But that makes it exciting as well.
