It’s while down the rabbit hole, that Alice meets the Queen of Hearts, played by Angelina, who looks magnificent as the the character from Lewis Carroll’s beloved stories.
Wearing a white dress with a huge frilled collar and painted with a red heart, the actress’ hair is styled into a heart-shape while she is seen holding the famous white rabbit.
Brenda Chapman makes her live-action directorial debut on Come Away, eight years after directing the Disney Pixar animated adventure Brave.
Parents: Angelina and David Oyelowo star as Rose and Jack Littleton, parents to Alice (Keir Chansa) and Peter (Jordan A. Nash), who would become Alice in Wonderland and Peter Pan
The trailer released earlier this month sets up the magical tale, with Rose telling her daughter Alice that, ‘every child has a fairy born just for them,’ revealing that, ‘Tinker’s Bell was born for you,’ as she rings a tiny bell.
Alice is dismissive, though, stating, ‘It’s just a bell,’ before we see Jack, who says that Alice, ‘is in a hurry to grow up,’ while Peter wants to ‘explore new lands.’
We then get our first look at Peter, who is playing an adventure game while Alice has a tea party with a stuffed rabbit.

Jack adds that this is, ‘the untold story of a brother and sister, two kindred adventurers, our Alice and our Peter.’

We also get a glimpse at Michael Caine’s Charlie, who says that his boss is, ‘still the boss, while Peter gets introduced to the Lost Boys, who come tumbling out of a tree.
The trailer also shows Alice tumbling down the rabbit hole, as she is seemingly sent away to a boarding school, where the nefarious Eleanor Morrow (Anna Chancelor) says, ‘We’ll make a lady of you yet.’
We see in another scene, though, that Eleanor is also this story’s version of the Red Queen, as Alice finds a familiar bottle that says, ‘Drink me’ as she pleads, ‘Take me away from here.’

The trailer winds down with a number of random shots before Peter tells Alice, ‘It’s no time to grow up, it never is,’ as he embraces his sister before running off.
The final shots tease the arrival of Tinker Bell through the actual bell.
