Full cast detail of Tim Burton's highly anticipated Alice in Wonderland have emerged, along with new screen shots of the film, courtesy of USA Today.

As NowPublic previously reported, Johnny Depp will portray the Mad Hatter, but today the full cast list was revealed along with the first images of Burton's production.

Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, Anne Hathaway and Alan Rickman have all brought the familiar characters to life in this reimagining of the classic Lewis Carroll tale. Australian actress Mia Wasikowska plays Alice who, now 17, attends a party at a Victorian estate only to find out she'll be proposed to before a crowd of high-class socialites. She runs off, following a white rabbit into a hole and ending up in Wonderland, a place she ended up in once before but has no recollection.

Those who have grown curiouser and curiouser about what the offbeat reinventor of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory might conjure up in his version of Alice in Wonderland can feast their eyes on this array of concept art and publicity images, due to hang in movie theaters this week to promote the March 5, 2010, release.

"It has been Burton-ized" is how producer Richard Zanuck describes the director's vision of the Lewis Carroll classic. Many elements are familiar, from the enigmatic Caterpillar (Alan Rickman) to the fierce Jabberwock (Christopher Lee). But none has been presented in this sort of visually surreal fashion.
