Tim Burton and Johnny Depp are almost the Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum of fantasy film-making; Depp brings to life the characters that emerge from Burton's twisted psyche.

Anne Hathaway stars as Mirana, The White Queen, in Tim Burton's epic 3D fantasy adventure ALICE IN WONDERLAND. Mirana is the younger sister of the Red Queen, and while she appears to be all sweetness and light, beneath the surface there’s a hint of darkness to her character. “She comes from the same gene pool as the Red Queen,” says Hathaway. “She really likes the dark side, but she’s so scared of going too far into it that she’s made everything appear very light and happy. But she’s living in that place out of fear that she won’t be able to control herself.” When Alice returns to Underland, the White Queen takes her under her wing, offering her protection, although her motives aren’t completely altruistic.
