Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is an upcoming two-part fantasy film adapted from the novel of the same name by J. K.

The film will be split into two separate parts. Both parts will be written by Steve Kloves, who wrote all but the fifth film, and directed by David Yates, who directed the previous two films. David Heyman and David Barron are producing both parts.
Joshua Herdman announced on August 9 that Jamie Waylett would not be reprising his role as Vincent Crabbe for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Waylett's character will be written out with his role in the plot taken over by Herdman's character.
Emma Thompson will not return as Professor Trelawney, opting instead to work on a sequel to Nanny McPhee.
Isaacs considered not returning for the film, before the book was released, as he was worried Malfoy would have very little screen time due to the character's imprisonment in the previous story. Meeting Rowling at an awards dinner he fell to his knees and said "'Get me out of prison, I beg you.' Rowling looked over her shoulder and looked back at me mouthing 'You're out. Chapter One.' And that was it, that's all I had to know, and I signed up immediately."
Director David Yates has announced that, for the final scene in the film which is set nineteen years after the film's main story, older actors will not be cast to play the main characters. Special effects will be used to depict the cast members as adults.

It appears that a mixture of special effects and makeup will be used to make the actors in the Seven Potters scene look like Daniel Radcliffe.

Alice In Wonderland - Official Trailer


An extension on Lewis Carroll's original story, Alice, now 19, attends a party at a Victorian estate only to find she is about to be proposed to by a rich suitor in front of hundreds of snooty society types. She runs off, following a white rabbit into a hole and ending up in Wonderland, a place she visited 10 years before yet doesn't remember. The white rabbit claims to have come back for Alice because she is the only one who can slay the "Jabberwock, who guards the Red Queen's empire". Alice remains completely unaware of why she is in Wonderland, and is confused about the fact that she had once visited Wonderland and all its inhabitants years before. She then embarks on an adventure of self discovery and to save Wonderland from the Red Queen's reign of terror with the help of her Wonderland friends.
Mia Wasikowska as Alice. Alice is a 19 year old young lady "who doesn't quite fit into Victorian society and structure." Her return to Wonderland "becomes a rite of passage as she discovers her voice and herself." Alice will evolve over the course of the new film into a more empowered heroine than in previous incarnations. Alice will also be at war against the Red Queen along with the other inhabitants of Wonderland.

Cast Alice in Wonderland directed by Tim Burton :
Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter. Tim Burton explained that Depp "tried to find a grounding to the character, something that you feel, as opposed to just being mad. In a lot of versions it’s a very one-note kind of character and you know his goal was to try and bring out a human side to the strangeness of the character."
Helena Bonham Carter as the Red Queen. Bonham Carter's head will be increased in size by three times on screen. Her character is a combination of the Red Queen and the Queen of Hearts.
Anne Hathaway as the White Queen. Her character does not require digital manipulation. Hathaway summed up her character with a caption on a magnet of Happy Bunny holding a knife; "Cute but psycho. Things even out." Her character also doesn't walk, she floats. She's very eccentric and overly dramatic, just as mad in her way as the Hatter.
Michael Sheen as the White Rabbit Sheen quotes "The White Rabbit is such an iconic character that I didn’t feel like I should break the mould too much." His childhood love for the film is highly represnted, apparent because of the emotion he adds to the character.
Alan Rickman as the Caterpillar. Rickman was filmed while recording his voice in a studio, and his face will be composited onto a stop motion character.
Stephen Fry as the Cheshire Cat.
Matt Lucas as Tweedledum and Tweedledee. Lucas' face was digitally inserted for both characters, while the body was computer-generated.
Christopher Lee as the Jabberwock. An item in the film called "The Oraculum" suggests that John Tenniel's original design for the Jabberwock will be used in the film.
Noah Taylor as the March Hare. The March Hare will be computer animated.
Barbara Windsor as the Dormouse
Timothy Spall as the Bloodhound
Crispin Glover as the Knave of Hearts
Paul Whitehouse as the Dodo
