Is it too late for a year-end review? It’s still only January. Well, I’m doing it anyway.

Our visit to Wonderland with a new Alice won’t happen until later in 2012 but we couldn’t wait to give you a bit of a peak into what you can expect so we put together this seven-minute long teaser-style prologue.

Called “Prelude to Wonderland” the prologue picks after a major incident in Wonderland and brings you right up to the point where Legend of the Looking Glass starts.It will introduce you to the major players of the movie and give you the set-up for where things are going. Break out the popcorn, sit back, relax and enjoy.

Then I went and put the word “Steampunk” on a casting notice. Legend of the Looking Glass is described as a steampunk-inspired adventure. I didn’t have any solid idea how I’d be implementing it, or how far I’d be taking it, but the word was out there.

Now, as we get further into production more people are asking: What is Steampunk? Uh…

(Update: Principal photography will not start until 2012. Also, we now have an official website for Legend of the Looking Glass: anendtomadness.com)

We’ve spoken very little about Looking Glass so far. Aside from an “in development” and our casting notice, I don’t think we’ve talked about it at all. So here’s the official announcement:

Legend of the Looking Glass is set to be the next Valley Wind Production – our biggest yet – with shooting scheduled for mid/late Summer and early Fall. Right now, we’re finalizing and breaking down the script, setting up the production team, and casting. An official crew call will go out soon.
