When it was first announced, Disney said that Tim Burton’s adaptation of Alice in Wonderland would be filmed using a hybrid of live-action and performance-capture/computer animation. Well it appears that Burton is also employing stop animation as well. Alan Rickman, who plays the Caterpillar in the film, explains to MoviesOnline that his face is transplanted onto a completely animated caterpillar.

“So, it’s a mixture. The movie is a mixture of live action, animation, and stop motion, so it’s very complicated and I don’t think all three have been put together ever before,” reveals Rickman. “So I’ll be with a live action Alice. I will be a construct.”

I don’t believe that the three have ever been mixed together in one movie before (I’m sure someone will correct me in the comments). It also doesn’t sound like Rickman shot his part on the green screen stages at all.

Rickman tells Buzzine that he’s “only done the first stage of it, which is them recording me saying these lines quite badly. Then, somewhere down the line, they’ll have animated it and I’ll redo it.” He also reveals that Helena Bonham-Carter, who plays The Red Queen, is “in a costume and in makeup but her head is going to be made three times bigger than it actually is on top of the costume.”

Helena Bonham Carter admits pregnancy made her defensive about her vices. The 42-year-old actress - who has two children with partner Tim Burton, son Billy, five and 13-month-old daughter Nell - found it impossible to give up coffee while pregnant, and developed a sharp retort for when she was criticized for succumbing to her caffeine cravings.

According to “The Black Book of Hollywood Pregnancy Secrets,” if a man condemned her for drinking coffee, Helena would swiftly reply: “You try nine months of gestation and self-abnegation before you start censoring my diet. Your mother was probably on vodka, and do you have three heads?”

Helena limited her intake of the hot drink, but admits it was tough to give it up entirely.

She said: “I didn’t drink caffeine as much as I would normally and try to restrict myself to one cup of coffee a day. One of my favorite dishes is carpaccio and I love sushi but I avoided them. Obviously anything with raw eggs was forbidden, too.”

The actress has previously revealed she was so desperate for a second child she took fertility drugs to boost her egg production, and also tried acupuncture and Chinese massage.

She said: “If I hadn’t got pregnant I think we probably would have tried IVF (in vitro fertilisation), yes. Obviously, you don’t know what you’d do unless you were actually in that situation. I think we might have gone for a round of IVF, but that would have been that.”

Actor Helena Bonham Carter has lent her voice to an MTV ad on domestic abuse, reciting a passage about love from the book of Corinthians in the Bible.

The 60-second commercial, created by ad agency Ogilvy Advertising, features a dysfunctional couple in a domestic environment.

A husband is seen yelling abusively at his wife, who is then thrown around the room, as if from the force of his words, and ends up covered in bruises.

However, no dialogue is heard - only accompanying music and Bonham Carter’s voice reciting Love is Patient, Love is Kind from 1 Corinthians, Chapter 13, verse four.

The TV ad ends with the strapline “If only you could see the damage words cause” and the word “bitch” etched into the woman’s face.

Bonham Carter recorded her vocal in a single take for the ad, which breaks tonight.

The ad will air across MTV in the UK and across Europe as part of MTV’s Staying Alive campaign.

MTV will also make the ad available online and is considering running it in cinemas.
