Hathaway, Bonham Carter Join Alice in Wonderland

October 7, 2008

Anne Hathaway (Rachel Getting Married) and Helena Bonham Carter will star in Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland for Disney.

The movie, which stars Mia Wasikowska as Alice and Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter, will use a combination of live action and performance-capture technology to tell the Lewis Carroll story, says The Hollywood Reporter.

Hathaway is playing the White Queen, a benevolent monarch who is deposed and banished by her sister, the Red Queen (Carter), who has an affinity for crying out, "Off with their heads!" The White Queen needs Alice to slay a creature known as the Bandersnatch.

Richard Zanuck, Joe Roth and Jennifer and Suzanne Todd are producing.

While we all expected Carter to get the Red Queen role, I'm intrigued by the inclusion of the White Queen. Means that Burton is likely involving more of the novel. Always a good thing.

I guess I'm in the minority here but I hate the Depp/Burton movies. With the exception of Ed Wood which was great. Not a big Bonam Carter fan either.

It would have been good but enough with 3D capturing! needs more live-action imo.

Good. Tim Burton is my favourite director. He made the best Batman movies ever. So take that nerds. My opinion will definitely get some of you arched up.

I love it when he and Johnny Depp join forces. Depp is one of the best actors around because he is able to transform himself into extremeley different characters. Even the greatest stars around have trouble doing that. Such as Clint Eastwood and Harrison Ford. Which I really like too.
