Waiting on Wednesday - 21

I'm waiting for...

Alice
an original mini-series

-because it's a re-imagined adaptation of Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland

TV date: December 6-7, 2009 on the SyFy channel

Using the classic Lewis Carroll books Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass as a jumping off point, writer/director Nick Willing has created the modern-day story of Alice Hamilton, a fiercely independent twenty-something who suddenly finds herself on the other side of a looking glass. She is a stranger in an outlandish city of twisted towers and casinos built out of playing cards, all under the rule of a deliciously devilish Queen who's not very happy about Alice's arrival.

-because I hear Alice is put into an interesting dilemma

Release date: January 1, 2010

This cover image looks sooooo much like Nicole Kidman who happens to be one of my favorite actors.

Description from author site:
Darkly comic (The Addams Family, Kind Hearts and Coronets) literary tale for intelligent readers; adults and in-betweens.

Best for: anyone with a sweet tooth for the eerily fantastic, book lovers and folks who prefer their -- rather offbeat -- humor black as coal.
When absent-minded Professor Random misplaces the main character from Alice in Wonderland, young Henry Witherspoon must book-jump to fetch Alice before chaos theory kicks in and the world vanishes.

Along the way he meets Winnie Flapjack, a wit-cracking doodle witch with nothing to her name but a magic feather and a plan. Such as it is.

Henry and Winnie brave the Dark Queen, whatwolves, pirates, Strüths, and fluttersmoths, Priscilla and Charybdis, obnoxiously cheerful vampires, Baron Samedi, a nine-dimensional cat, and one perpetually inebriated Muse to rescue Alice and save the world by tea time.
