my idear for a Movie


as theres no "dark Wonderland" in the pipeline i had an idear for the movie...

It starts pretty much the same way as the game.... with the fire and everything...

there should be 2 Alice's... one in the asylum as a woman.. aged around 19-20 (check the dates in the games manual)

and one as "wonderland Alice" a Little girl of maybe 9 or 10...

u would need other human characters...

Maybe a Nurse D, a superintendant, the Orderlies, the doctor Treating Alice, and the reverend Mottle.. as they are all mentioned in the manual...

the story should switch between the Doctor and everyones efforts in the real world to revive Adult alice, and how this affects her adventure in Wonderland...

(EG. when he whispers "boo-jum" in her ear and jabs her with a pin, it should switch to Little Alice in wonderland about to fight a boo jum)

If anything happens to the cuddly Rabbit Adult Alice has, it should put little alice in Danger.. remember, the whole point of the game is that it is happening in Alice's head.... she is imagining the whole thing.. and things that go on around her will influence her thoughts...

the role of Adult alice would need someone who could act mysteriously, go from sitting there like a zombie 1 minute, to screaming or attacking someone the next.... to keep the films audience "jumpy"...

i would think the characters should be closely linked in their actions.. EG when adult Alice stabs the orderly in the face in the manual, it should reflect little Alice on the game (or in this case in the movie) in a battle...

i would think the film should have a British cast (as the book was English)..

and maybe cast an unknown in both Adult and Little Alice roles...

what do you all think?
