Burton's 'alice in wonderland' is breathtaking but it myt not hit major cinemas...




Here is a film i can't wait to watch!!

"The word is that watching Tim Burton's Alice In Wonderland is the closest you can come to falling down the rabbit hole yourself and into Lewis Carroll's fantasy world.
'
It looks breathtaking from the preview and since It cost £158million to make and, with computer graphics mixed with live action and animation, it is more technically ambitious than anything Burton has done before. And it is in 3-D, putting it head-to-head with the sci-fi phenomenon that is Avatar.

However it myt not hit cinemas coz cinemas don't want to play it fr only a few weeks.

The cause of the angst is that Disney wants to release the film on DVD and Blu-ray only three months after it opens at the cinema, rather than the standard 17 weeks.

It wants to get the DVD into the shops before the midsummer doldrums, and to capitalise on the marketing of the movie while it is still fresh in people's minds.

But the British cinemas are afraid that people will just wait to buy the film on DVD rather than spend money on going to the pictures.

They aren't alone: four big cinema chains in Holland are boycotting the film and the Italians are rebelling, too.

Oh oh...
