Alice Turns Back Time in 'Alice Through the Looking Glass' Trailer

Alice fights a battle against time — literally — in the first trailer for Alice Through the Looking Glass, the sequel to Tim Burton’s 2010 fantasia Alice in Wonderland. The new film sees an older Alice (Mia Wasikowska) return to Underland, only to discover that the land she saved from the vicious Jabberwocky is under attack once again. This time, the enemy is Time (Sacha Baron Cohen), a part-human, part-clock creature who has the Mad Hatter (Johnny Depp) in his clutches. Can a time-traveling Alice save her friend before the clock runs out? Watch the trailer above.

The new CG-and-live-action adventure, based loosely on Lewis Carroll’s two Alice in Wonderland novels, features the return of original cast members Wasikowska, Depp, Helena Bonham Carter (as the Red Queen), and Anne Hathaway (as the White Queen), as well as voice actors Alan Rickman (the Caterpillar), Michael Sheen (the White Rabbit), Stephen Fry (the Cheshire Cat) and Timothy Spall (the Bloodhound). One person not returning from the first film is Tim Burton, who stayed on as an executive producer, but passed directorial duties to James Bobin (The Muppets, Muppets Most Wanted). Alice Through the Looking Glass opens on May 27, 2016.
