As if you didnt already know, Time is a villain inAlice Through the Looking Glass, at least.
Actually it was Lewis Carrolls idea, Bobin says of theAliceauthor, who died in 1898.
Carroll thinks Time is a person.
And Bobins idea for who should play that person was a no brainer.
I had him in mind from the beginning, Bobin says.
Hes an omnipotent demigod but he has one tragic flaw loneliness.
And what does a lonely old tyrant do for companionship?
His friends are these little steam-powered clockwork guys, Bobin explains.
We call them Seconds and theyre basically Times little servants.
We were very keen no to make then sci-fi and keep them in the Industrial period.
We had the artistic license to go as far as Lewis Carroll but not go intoStar TrekorStar Wars.
Who, as you could see from a quick glimpse in the movies trailer, are not so innocent.
Alice Through the Looking Glassopens on May 27.
