Timothy Spall has said viewers can expect great things from Tim Burton’s Alice In Wonderland. The British actor voices The Bloodhound in Burton’s 3-D version of Lewis Carroll’s classic children’s story. Asked what the film would be like, Timothy said: “I’ve not been on set, I’ve just been in a studio doing a voice – but it being a Tim Burton film it’s going to certainly be fantastic to look at.” He continued, paying tribute to the American director: “I had a chance to work with him on Sweeney Todd. He’s a great artist and great auteur.” Also starring in the film are Johnny Depp, Anne Hathaway, Michael Sheen, Stephen Fry, Matt Lucas and Helena Bonham Carter. Alice In Wonderland is due out in cinemas in March 2010.

Anne Hathaway has become the latest star to deny links to the next Spider-Man movie villain. Just days after Rachel McAdams’ representatives dismissed reports suggesting The Notebook star would be playing the evil Black Cat in Spider-Man 4, Hathaway’s aides insist she’s not considering the part either. The star’s publicist tells EW.com, “There are no negotiations underway.” Internet film gossips are now suggesting Julia Stiles is the leading lady being considered for Black Cat. Tobey Maguire will return as the big screen web-slinger in the blockbuster, which is due for release in 2011.

Spike has premiered a new(ish) trailer for Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland that mixes up the footage a bit from the original teaser trailer and includes a few seconds of new clips. You can watch it here. Thanks to ComingSoon.net!

Anne Hathaway and Neil Patrick Harris have signed up for Fox Animation’s Rio, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Blue Sky Studios, Fox and director Carlos Saldanha (Ice Age: Dawn Of The Dinosaurs) will all team up on the project, which is scheduled for release in 2011. It will be filmed in 3D digital animation. The film will follow the story of a “nerdy macaw” who leaves Minnesota and heads for the city of Rio de Janeiro. It is not known what roles Hathaway and Harris will voice. Fox and Blue Sky have taken $2.4 billion worldwide on previous films Horton Hears a Who!, Robots and the Ice Age franchise.

Keira Knightley, Anne Hathaway and Scarlet Johansson are reportedly all being considered for the lead role of the film remake of My Fair Lady. The starring role of Eliza Doolittle was originally played by screen legend Audrey Hepburn. Oscar-winning director Danny Boyle is to helm the picture and is rumoured to want 24-year-old Knightley for the iconic part, reports STV. An insider said: “Keira and Scarlett are the only two real contenders and Keira’s the favourite. She’s the most natural Eliza people have seen. “She has worked on her singing voice for a year and will get better and better.” Production on My Fair Lady is to begin late next year.
