Although earlier this morning we got our first official glimpses at Johnny Depp as The Mad Hatter, Helena Bonham Carter as The Red Queen, and Anne Hathaway as The White Queen from Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland, there were quite a few characters missing, most notably Alan Rickman as The Caterpillar, Stephen Fry as The Cheshire Cat, and the two brothers Matt Lucas plays - Tweedledee and Tweedledum. Luckily, Movies.ie (via SlashFilm) has scored an extra promo banner for Wonderland that features both Tweedledee and Tweedledum. If you thought those other photos looked weird, just wait until you see this.

Tweedledee and Tweedledum first appeared in Lewis Carroll’s Through the Looking-Glass in 1871 as two fat brothers who complement each other's words and never contradict each other, even when one of them, according to the famous nineteenth century nursery rhyme, "agrees to have a battle." They are both played by famous British comedian Matt Lucas in Tim Burton's upcoming movie. We showed you what the world of Tim Burton's new Alice in Wonderland looked like earlier today. Disney is bringing this to theaters in both digital 3D and regular 2D starting on March 5th, 2010 next year. Now we need to see the Caterpillar next!
