“ALICE IN WONDERLAND”: 29 DAYS

Are you ready for a trip down the rabbit hole? Tim Burton, Johnny Depp and Disney are adding a strange new chapter to the Lewis Carroll classic with “Alice in Wonderland,” a film that presents a young woman who finds herself in the world of the Mad Hatter, the Cheshire Cat and the Red Queen. She is welcomed as a returning visitor — but is she in fact the same Alice who roamed the trippy realm as a child? Time will tell. Here at the Hero Complex we’re counting down to the film’s March 5 release with daily coverage. Today it’s a conversation with Mia Wasikowska, the 20-year-old Aussie newcomer who plays the title role.

Geoff Boucher: The film is called “Alice in Wonderland,” but really this is neither a pure adaptation of Lewis Carroll’s writings nor a remake of previous films. This is a whole new story, correct?

Mia Wasikowska: It’s a completely different and new story, but it has a lot of the same characters in it. It has the same feel of the original stories, but it’s really fun to explore a story that goes further and imagines what all these characters would be like several years down the tracks. Alice doesn’t have a recollection of her first visit there. She’s gone back and is discovering this world and finding herself again in this place that she doesn’t even remember.

Mia Wasikowska is one of the breakthrough female actors featured in Vanity Fair’s epic Hollywood issue for this decade. Aren’t we just loving Mia’s pretty covergirlness? Head on over to Vanity Fair’s website for more pictures and videos.

Mia Wasikowska, 20, is the daughter of a Polish photographer mother and an Australian painter-and-collagist father. Her breakthrough on the HBO series In Treatment, as the fragile and yet fierce gymnast Sophie, suggested a deep intelligence and a reservoir of talent. Director Edward Zwick cast her in Defiance, about a group of Polish Jews banding together to escape the Nazis. Next she will play the title role in Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland, the love interest in Gus Van Sant’s next film, and the daughter of Julianne Moore and Annette Bening, two gay moms, in Lisa Cholodenko’s The Kids Are All Right.

Mia has an interview in Teen Vogue Magazine. The article goes into depth about Wasikowska’s past, work as an actress, experience making Alice, and her future projects.

“Alice in Wonderland” is just the beginning for Mia, who is set to take on another leading role in Jane Eyre, opposite “Inglourious Basterds” star Michael Fassbender. “I’m completely excited,” she gushed to the magazine. Though she is bubbly and excitable, Mia is wise for her age. She has two things that are often hard to balance: perspective and passion. “As a teenager I was very anxious. I had a lot of energy and passion that I wanted to channel into creative things, and I always felt like I wasn’t achieving enough.” We think it’s safe to say she’s made up for that now.

Here’s an article about Mia Wasikowska that was recently posted on W Magazine.

Growing up, Mia Wasikowska knew the story of Alice in Wonderland. But unlike most children, she was best acquainted with the version by experimental Czech director Jan Svankmajer, Alice. The macabre 1988 movie, which costars a young girl and a taxidermied rabbit, made a deep impression on Wasikowska and her siblings when their mother popped it into the VCR. “We used to be kind of disturbed by it,” recalls the 20-year-old Australian actress, best known Stateside for her role on HBO’s In Treatment. “But we could never walk away, because it was so fascinating and odd.”

Those same words could also describe the films of director Tim Burton, whose upcoming version of Lewis Carroll’s eternally surreal tale stars Wasikowska in the title role. “There is a lot of pressure,” acknowledges the actress during a brief visit to Beverly Hills from the Portland, Oregon, set of Gus Van Sant’s as-yet-unnamed next film, for which she cropped her long hair to play a death-obsessed teenager in love. “Alice is such a dear character to so many people that you have a responsibility to deliver something that people know but that’s also unique and different. It’s Tim’s Alice. It’s also my Alice.”

Daily Record has posted a new interview on their site which they did with Mia Wasikowska. She talks about “Alice In Wonderland” in general and her character.

SHE is already on lists of faces to watch in 2010 – and critics say she’ll be one of the stars of the next decade
But 20-year-old Australian Mia Wasikowska, who plays the title role in Tim Burton’s take on Alice in Wonderland, admits she feels a bit like Alice in Hollywood.
Being catapulted on to Hollywood’s A-list by working with director Burton and actor Johnny Depp felt like her own version of falling down the rabbit hole.
Mia said: “I think I had a similar experience to Alice – I was definitely thrust into a world that was unlike my own.
“Making the film was very bizarre and odd, and it mimicked exactly what it was like for Alice to be in Wonderland.
“The way we were shooting didn’t make sense and it was comical and weird and bizarre.
“I think it was all the things that Wonderland was as well.
“I definitely relate to Alice. At the beginning of the film, she is awkward and uncomfortable in her own skin, which I think a lot of teenagers experience.
“I think it has been a similar process for me – being able to feel comfortable with what I do, the way that it is done and the way other people relate to you.
