According to USA Today – who posted the images – the story is a sequel to Lewis Carroll’s drug-trip of a story. It will follow 17-year old Alice (Mia Wasikowska) attending a Victorian party. She then finds out that she is about to be proposed to in front of hundreds of snooty social types. Panicking, she runs off and follows a white rabbit into a hole, ending up in Wonderland, though she does not remember it.
From Henry Selick, visionary director of The Nightmare Before Christmas, and based on Neil Gaiman’s international best-selling book, comes a spectacular stop-motion animated adventure – the first to be originally filmed in 3D!
Coraline Jones (Dakota Fanning) is bored in her new home until she finds a secret door and discovers an alternate version of her life on the other side. On the surface, this parallel reality is eerily similar to her real life and the people in it – only much better. But when this seemingly perfect world turns dangerous, and her other parents (including her Other Mother voiced by Teri Hatcher) try to trap her forever, Coraline must count on her resourcefulness, determination and bravery to escape this increasingly perilous world – and save her family.
