Well, she isn't - there's at least 6 films in-between - it's still quite a contrast, though - hopefully, it won't be going from the sublime to the ridiculous. She signed on the dotted line for the first "Alice", so she's obligated to do the sequel - or else she could let Disney take her to court - Mickey Mouse has got deep pockets (he's a litigious little rodent), so I don't think that would be very smart. 2016 is a long way off - I just hope there are no muppets in Wonderland.

I didn't really mean literally from Stoker to Alice, just that they're as far apart from each other in terms of family-friendliness as you can get. Or, in layman's terms, Disney's bringing back the chick who diddled herself in the shower earlier this year.

SO, you didn't consider "Stoker" family friendly? I guess you have a point there (depends on what species of family). Although, if you think about it, though the films are aimed at wildly different audiences, in both cases Mia plays an extremely intelligent girl who is different and alienated from society, who has an extremely 238ACTIVE imagination, and who has lost her father at an extremely crucial time in her life. Both India and Alice are discovering their true identities, they're gaining their "muchness", in a way. In Burton's "Alice" you have the inner guide/mentor, the one who is trying to draw her out, with the Mad Hatter - in "Stoker" the inner guide/mentor is Uncle Charlie (I know, that's perverse). See what I'm getting at. Obviously the comparison is kind of like comparing the birth of opposites, like night and day - one is positive, the other i111cs negative, but in both cases the character is becoming self-realized. Anyway, the films are vastly different, in their overall success as works of art and in their financial profits.

To further prove the point of this thread: is it me or do you see a younger Julianne Moore in this pic?

The hair has a little more of that reddish cast of Julianne Moore, who played her mom in "The Kids Are Alright" - she looks more like her daughter in that shot than in the film. I saw that in David Cronenberg's "Maps to the Stars", which both Mia and Julianne are in, Moore is the blond this time around. I think this might be closer to Mia's original hair color - who knows, the looks and style keep changing, on-screen and off. I'm looking forward to seeing what she'll be like in del Toro's "Crimson Peak", which is suppose to start shooting in several weeks.

I thought this should be on this thread - Mia receiving oral care from Tom Hiddelston. I wonder if she flosses?
