Yeah, Tim Burton is making his version of "Alice in Wonderland," but it's nothing like what Syfy is putting together. And Burton doesn't have both Kathy Bates and Matt Frewer.

The new event will air Dec. 6-7 on Syfy, following the tradition of past end-of-the-year specials, including "Tin Man."

Many, many years after an Alice first disrupted Wonderland and the House of Cards, a new Alice makes her way into the new dimension, now played by Caterina Scorsone. She meets many of the classic characters, including the Queen of Hearts (Bates), the White Knight (Frewer), Caterpillar (Harry Dean Stanton), and special appearances by "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine's" Colm Meaney as the KIng of Hearts and Alessandro Juliani from "Battlestar Galactica" as the 9 of Clubs.

The whole production was written and directed by Nick Willing, who directed the 2007 SciFi Channel event "Tin Man," as well as a 1999 made-for-TV version of "Alice in Wonderland."

Is this something to make plans to watch? Find out for yourself with this first-look trailer.

"Alice" airs for two nights beginning Dec. 6 at 8 p.m. ET on Syfy.
