Anne Hathaway Joins Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland
Anne Hathaway
Anne Hathaway is about to fall down the rabbit hole, and into the role of the benevolent White Queen in
Tim Burton's
Alice in Wonderland.
Helena Bonham Carter, who has worked with her fiancé Burton on several movies including
Sweeney Todd and
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, has also been cast as the "Off with their heads" shouting Red Queen, says
The Hollywood Reporter.
The movie, which features
In Treatment's breakout star
Mia Wasikowska as Alice, and
Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter, will use a combination of live action and performance-capture technology.
Hathaway is appearing now in — and garnering Oscar buzz for —
Rachel Getting Married. She also scored points hosting
Saturday Night Live where she showed off her lovely singing voice as well as her excellent Mary Poppins impersonation.
As for
Alice, since Burton is fond of repurposing famous movies, novels and plays as well as his favorite actors, do you think the movie will be a smashing hit?
