Tim Burton casting for Alice in Wonderland

Just saw this elsewhere. Could be very interesting:

Tim Burton and Walt Disney Pictures are in final talks with Australian actress Mia Wasikowska to star in Alice in Wonderland, Burton's take on Lewis Carroll's classic fantasy novel, says The Hollywood Reporter.

The film, based on a script by Linda Woolverton (The Lion King), will be produced by longtime Burton collaborator Richard Zanuck, former Disney chairman Joe Roth and Jennifer and Suzanne Todd. It will be shot with live-action and performance-capture footage and presented in Disney Digital 3-D.

I'd like to see her body get eaten like cake, like that old Tom Petty video.

I believe she has already been signed. This is her:

Not bad. I wonder though if it will be like the original? I'd personally really like to see a movie based on American McGee's Alice

So, ya think Johnny Depp will be playing The Mad Hatter, or what?

I'm sure he will be in there somewhere....Caterpillar maybe or even The Cheshire Cat?

Great game...

A movie version has been in the works for a while...I think it's currently in "development hell", though. Sarah Michelle Gellar was supposed to play grown-up Alice, at one point.
