That's Time with a capitol 'T,' played by Sacha Baron Cohen, who is central to the sequel's storyline and is part human, part clock. Time happens to be the Mad Hatter's father (the Hatter played by Johnny Depp, of course), and Alice will need to reason with him,

Watch This Fantastic Live-Action Metroid Short Film
One of the great reveals in video game history was that Samus Aran, the exoskeleton-covered warrior star of Nintendo's Metroid, was a woman. This fact was made clear in the end credits to gamers who finished the journey quick enough, when they finally got a chance to see Aran without her armor. And it turns out that Aran, the alien-slaying, armor-clad badass was inspired by one of film's greatest female warriors—Ellen Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) from Ridley Scott's Alien. Like Ripley in Alien,

Justin Kurzel’s Macbeth is the Most Heartfelt Horror Film Ever Made
The story of Macbeth is certainly no stranger to adaptation. In fact, the Scottish play belongs to an impressive tradition of auteurist variation, including Orson Welles’ notoriously troubled 1948 production, Roman Polanski’s 1971 film and Kurosawa’s well-loved in 1957.
