Coming Soon: New 'Alice in Wonderland' teaser

Last night's SCREAM awards from Spike TV gave us a new trailer for the Tim Burton directed 'Alice in Wonderland', not to much in terms of new footage but it does give us a good feel for the movie. Perhaps I shouldn't use the word good...as it seems to be anything but. For starters the CGI looks horrendous and overused, take a note from 'Where the Wild Things Are' all future movies, use CGI only when absolutely necessary. Secondly this appears to be less of an Alice in Wonderland movie and more of a "how can we get that crazy Johnny Depp on screen again without using Pirates of the Carribean". I'm all for adult themed remakes of the old fairy tales, hell some of the Grimm stories would be downright frightening, this however does not look like it will be a satisfying watch in the least. It used to be with Tim Burton even if the movie sucked you were in for a good visual feast but due to the obvious overuse of CGI it appears we will be robbed of that as well. Take a look at this second trailer and let me know what you think!
