This is a video I made with various clips from Tim Burton's upcoming movie (due for release March 5, 2010) "Alice in Wonderland" set to the song "Our Time is Now" by Post Death Soundtrack (www.postdeathsoundtrack.com).
From IMDB:
Tim Burton (Edward Scissorhands, Beetlejuice) attempts to work his gothic magic over one of the best loved stories of all time... Lewis Carroll's 'Alice In Wonderland' and 'Through the Looking Glass and What Alice Found There', which first told the story of a young girl, who after following a rabbit down a hole, is transported to a strange world. Whilst the disney version of the tale relied on sweetness and light to delight the audience, Burton fans can be sure to look out for the same cartoon traits as earlier masterpiece 'The Nightmare Before Christmas'.
The traditional tale has been freshened with a blast of girl power, courtesy of writer Linda Woolverton (Beauty and the Beast). Alice, 17, attends a party at a Victorian estate only to find she is about to be proposed to in front of hundreds of snooty society types. Off she runs, following a white rabbit into a hole and ending up in Wonderland, a place she visited 10 years before yet doesn't remember.
Among those who welcome her back is the Mad Hatter, a part tailor-made for Johnny Depp as he collaborates with Burton for the seventh time. "This character is off his rocker," Zanuck says.
Aussie actress Mia Wasikowska, 19, best known for HBO's In Treatment, has the coveted title role. "There is something real, honest and sincere about her," Zanuck says. "She's not a typical Hollywood starlet."
There is the usual Burton-esque ghoulishness (Helena Bonham Carter's Red Queen, whose favorite retort is "Off with their heads," has a moat filled with bobbing noggins), but Zanuck assures most kids can handle it. "The book itself is pretty dark," he notes. "This is for little people and people who read it when they were little 50 years ago."

POST DEATH SOUNDTRACK (from their site):
Post Death Soundtrack is the antithesis of today's music culture, creating thought-provoking music by weaving industrial, electronic, pop and rock sounds. Reflections of Darkness calls them "by no means music for simple minds", and Side-line.com calls their sound "indefinable". Currently a 4-piece, the band is Kenneth Buck, Steve Moore, Jon Ireson and Colin Everall. Post Death Soundtrack takes influence from the likes of The Beatles, Skinny Puppy, David Bowie and Dead Can Dance. Style is less important than mood as they strive to encourage thought and communication on a deep level.
On September 16, 2008 Post Death Soundtrack released their debut full length album entitled "Music as Weaponry". "Music as Weaponry" was recorded by the projects two founders, Kenneth Buck and Steve Moore. Since the release of "Music as Weaponry", Post Death Soundtrack has rapidly expanded it's fan base, garnering airplay and top reviews from publications such as Industrial.org and Sphere Magazine, who called the CD "a chaotic concoction of crossover madness", adding "this is the soundtrack to your escape from the average".
Currently the band is busy working on a variety of releases. New covers of Dead Can Dance's "Anywhere Out of the World" and The Door's "Riders on the Storm" have been posted as mp3's for free download on their website: www.postdeathsoundtrack.com. At the moment, they're at work crafting extensive remixes and brand new material for multiple releases for 2010.
Thanks guys! I'll post more...good to hear the kind words!
