SDCC 09 Me, Tim Burton and 99 other journalists talk Alice in Wonderland

One of the biggest joys of San Diego Comic Con 2009 was getting contacted by Disney for an interview with the great Tim Burton. To add to perfection, he was there to talk to us about his upcoming film Alice in Wonderland. I entered the room and took my seat right in front of the table where Mr. Burton was going to sit. Due to my lack of experience with covering movies, I had no idea what a madhouse it was going to be! The room was super full with people sitting on the floor and standing along the wall. It was absolutely hilarious to see the table fill with voice recorders. I placed my GA button on mine because all the voice recorders looked the same. No way was I going to lose interviews I had already done. (Three people ended up losing their voice recorders after the interview.)

Disney made a huge statement at San Diego Comic Con this year with their viral exhibits held outside of the Convention center. We took you through Floyd’s Arcade but now it’s time to go through the rabbit hole and visit Alice in Wonderland. I’m ecstatic to see Tim Burton take the reigns and show us what his Alice and his Wonderland would be like. But not only did we get to see a trailer and talk to Tim Burton at SDCC (that’s coming soon), but Disney set up an exhibit where visitors can see all the props used in Tim Burton’s film. First they greeted you with a key attached to a card that had the details of the tour written on it. The setup is a touring exhibition but I was told that it will only be open to the public at San Diego Comic Con. Otherwise it’s an
