Burton found Alice!

You know it had been toiling away so quietly in the background for months now that I almost completely forgot about Tim Burton’s ALICE IN WONDERLAND. For those, like me, who almost forgot, the film will be a combination of live-action and mo-cap animation that will be presented in 3-D (commence drooling). But today’s exciting news is that Burton has found his Alice! And it’s not Sarah Michelle Gellar! Her name is Mia Wasikowska, a young Australian actress who’s currently starring in HBO’s “In Treatment.” She’s certainly cute and has a very Alice look so kudos to Burton for finding a unknown actress to fit the part (looks a bit like a young Gwyneth Paltrow, no?)! I’d love to be able to get my hands on Linda Woolverton’s script for the film to see exactly what Burton is planning. Whatever it is, I’m sure it doesn’t involve (now THAT is too creepy even for Tim Burton). Filming on ALICE is expected to begin this November. With Disney expected to have a “big surprise” at their Comic-Con panel this weekend, me wonders if anything ALICE IN WONDERLAND will pop up?…
