Helena Bonham Carter

It’s sad to hear Alan Rickman’s voice. We lost the great Die Hard and Harry Potter star just a few weeks ago; Rickman died after a battle with pancreatic cancer at the age of 69. His work in Alice Through the Looking Glass is his final onscreen performance; he plays Absolem, the Caterpillar. That’s him saying “You’ve been gone too long Alice. There are matters that cannot be neglected.

The week of Alice Through the Looking Glass promo isn’t over yet. After that ridiculously teasey teaser and the first trailer for Disney‘s sequel to Tim Burton‘s Alice in Wonderland, we now have a slew of character posters.

Yes, the first substantial look into the 2010 smash’s sequel is here, five long years later and not a moment too soon. Starting with Alan Rickman’s purred opening line, “You’ve been gone too long, Alice,” a possible nod to the unusually long gap separating installments of the franchise, time is the name of the game.

The new promotional clip for the follow-up to Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland, clocking in at a whopping eleven seconds, does actually feel like it’s teasing us with its tantalizing brevity and refusal to surrender any actual information. The word “teaser” has never felt more appropriate.

It’s 1912 and Maud Watts (Carey Mulligan), a 26-year-old mother, is working as a laundress at a London factory, the same one she’s worked at since her early teens. Like the many other women in the sweltering warehouse, Maud works a third more hours than her husband (Ben Whishaw) and the other male employees, and makes considerably less. But this is the 20th century, a time where women were expected to do no more than birth children and bring home an income to feed those children. In Suffragette, screenwriter Abi Morgan (Shame, The Iron Lady) and director Sarah Gavron take us back to that era to remind us of the fight that eventually earned women the right to vote in the U.K. in 1928.

Helena Bonham Carter may have proven largely extraneous to both the plot and failures of this past weekend's 'The Lone Ranger,' but that won't stop fans of the chameleon actress from checking out her turn as Elizabeth Taylor in BBC's forthcoming drama adaptation, 'Burton & Taylor.' Lindsay Lohan in 'Liz & Dick' this ain't, and we've got the first look at the production's new trailer! Read

Looks like 'Cinderella' didn't have to wait long for her fairy godmother to arrive. Helena Bonham Carter has been chosen for the role in the upcoming adaptation from Kenneth Branagh.

After 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2' hit theaters last year, we've been left with a significant 'Harry Potter' void in our lives. Sure the cast has gone on to new and exciting things but what of Harry, Ron and Hermione? Well, good news 'Harry Potter' fans. We've learned that the 'Harry Potter' cast has reunited to secretly shoot some new footage. But when and where can you see this

Charles Dickens' 'Great Expectations' is no stranger to adaptation. To date, there have been thirteen TV movie (or mini-series) versions, six films, and one 'South Park' parody. Director Mike Newell is the latest to tackle the book, and now there's a trailer, albeit an international one with German subtitles.
