Tim Burton likes to keep it all in the family. After news broke that Crispin Glover–an outsider–had been cast in Burton’s upcoming 3-D version of ALICE IN WONDERLAND, Burton went ahead and cast frequent collaborator Christopher Lee in a role that has not yet been confirmed. The buzz is that Lee will play either the Caterpillar, King of Hearts, or The White Knight. I think he should just go Eddie Murphy on this thing and play all three.
And what would a Tim Burton movie be without the manic score only Danny Elfman can provide. The composer has confirmed that he is set to score this one as well, bringing their total collaborative efforts to the lucky number thirteen. I don’t know about you guys but the more news I hear from this production, the more excited I get.
