Alice in Wonderland 2: Through the Looking Glass Release Date and Director's Story Plot Revelations!

Four years ago, Director Tim Burton and Walt Disney Pictures Alice in Wonderland motion-picture had a gross of over $1 billion in worldwide theaters. Hence, a great expectation for the upcoming Alice in Wonderland: Through the Looking Glass. In the second movie here, Johnny Depp and Mia Wasikowska will become Mad Hatter and Alice Kingsleigh respectively. The Alice in Wonderland movie is rumored to be titled as Through the Looking Glass, based on Lewis Carrol's book. The book 2 of Carrol's sequel is actually Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There. That's the original and full title of the book.

Director Tim Burton, revealed some of the explicit scenes from the movie. He said, "The thing about me is that my secret passion is history. My films have a lot of historical context; I'm a huge fan of ruins. You see a lot of ruin work in my movies, I like ruins. So the idea of doing a movie that is not only historical but also fantastical, like a fantasy world, I couldn't pass it up..."

"Alice is in a Victorian fantasy land, and nowhere suits 3D better than that. There's no limits to new ideas and what you can do, but also at the same time you have this great palette of Victoriana to use to create a fantastical world, and that to me is very fun because I did history at University, my wife is a historian, history's my thing. For me, it's an opportunity to try and recreate the world I love from the past in this really interesting way."

Alice in Wonderland: Through the Looking Glass release date would be on May 27th, 2016.
