SAN DIEGO ? As is his wont, Johnny Depp sent a throng of teenage girls wild here at Comic-Con International ? just by showing up.

Depp didn?t say much during his brief and unexpected appearance Thursday at the Alice in Wonderland panel in the pop-culture convention?s giant Hall H. He just came onto the stage, said hello to Alice director Tim Burton, drove the crowds nuts and left.

But the cameo was more than enough to send the teeming crowd of prepubescent (and probably post-pubescent as well) girls wild. There were screams and enough mayhem to send security guards scrambling to make sure no one tried to jump onstage and rip off Depp?s clothes (where did I get that idea ??).

It was a target-rich environment: There were loads of girls there because many had waited hours ? some even days ? to make sure they didn?t miss the panel for The Twilight Saga: New Moon, which followed Comic-Con?s first-ever 3-D panel, the Disney event that included Alice in Wonderland. Take that, Robert Pattinson!

The script for the Alice event was to premiere the trailer, which would have been cool enough. Actually the trailer, which leaked online Wednesday before being pulled by Disney, was shown several times Thursday at the insistence of actor/comedian Patton Oswalt, who interviewed Burton about the film, which is set to go be released next year.

The trailer itself is about a minute and a half long ? but what a stunner! Vibrant colors, beautiful costumes, fantastic scenery, amazing makeup, all in glorious 3-D. The Cheshire Cat?s smile pops out of the screen, the Mad Hatter dances down the table toward you and Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum are whisked right past you by an exotic bird. It?s a fantastical vision, a very Burton-esqe vision. The 3-D adds to the surreal experience, and feels quite seamless. In such strange scenery, the 3-D makes everything even more askew. Of course Alice should fall down the hole in 3-D, and the potion she?s drinking, just before shrinking, makes the madness all the more believable.

Our next item is up right now only as a teaser on Sideshow, but Dread has your hook-up! Medicom and Hot Toys seem in constant struggle for domination of the 12-inch format, and this month I think Medicom rules! From the new Tim Burton film Alice In Wonderland, check out Johnny Depp as The Mad Hatter, the Real Action Hero collectible figure.

I really like Tim Burton's style of movies, I liked Willy Wonka (closer to the style of the original book)

I'll be seeing this one as well.

Agreed. I'm the only one out of my group of friends that prefers the new Willy Wonka as opposed to the older one.

Tim Burton seems like a strange guy, but he makes awesome movies :laugh:

Pop-rock princess Avril Lavigne will drop her long-awaited new single this March ?Alice Underground?, which will be lifted from the soundtrack to the new Tim Burton Alice In Wonderland remake.

It has yet to be confirmed if the song will also double as the first official single from Lavgine?s fourth album, or if it will simply be a soundtrack song similar to her hit ?Keep Holdin? On? from the film Eragon.

Avril?s new album will be the follow up to 2007?s six-million selling The Best Damn Thing, and will reportedly lose the over-produced pop sheen of ?Girlfriend? in favor of a more acoustic sound similar to her first two albums.

      Shocker! It would be crazy to be ready to introduce a "fold" phone but have no plans happening for a followup model.

      XBOX is at the end of its generational life cycle and wasn't selling much anyway. They need to figure out the pricing for XBOX Helios. However, I'm not buying the DRAM shortage with AI preferring HBM. I think it's industry gouging.

      Amazon Prime Day 2026: Best Dolby soundbar deals from Sony, Samsung, JBL, Polk, and more by Sayan Sen Yesterday we covered the JBL BAR 800 which is a 5.1.2 Dolby Atmos/Vision soundbar. The unit is on sale for its lowest ever price of just $800 making it a solid offer. However, there are many more options to choose from and in this article, we have made a compilation of the best deals including from Sony, Polk, Yamaha, Denon, Samsung and more. Sony's BAR models are currently at their lowest prices which makes them solid offerings. The company's BRAVIA Theatre Bar lineup is designed to suit different home cinema needs. The Bar 5 is an entry-level 3.1-channel soundbar with a wireless subwoofer, supporting Dolby Atmos®, DTS:X, S-Force PRO Front Surround, and Vertical Surround Engine for immersive audio with clear dialogue. The Bar 6 upgrades to a 3.1.2-channel configuration by adding dedicated up-firing speakers for more convincing overhead Atmos effects while retaining the wireless subwoofer. At the premium end, the Bar 7, Bar 8, and flagship Bar 9 are single-soundbar solutions featuring Sony’s 360 Spatial Sound Mapping technology, which creates phantom speakers for a wider surround field. Bar 7 includes nine speaker units, Bar 8 increases this to eleven, and Bar 9 offers thirteen speaker driver units promising the most expansive soundstage and acoustic performance. All models should integrate seamlessly with compatible BRAVIA TVs and support the BRAVIA Connect app for setup and control.
