Casting Rumors for Tim Burton's 'Alice in Wonderland'
Filed under: Classics, Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Casting, Disney, RumorMonger
Before we get started, I just want to make it clear that in Hollywood nothing is ever official until you see the press release (and you should probably take the following news with a big grain of salt). Over at the Alice in Wonderland fan site, talk has surfaced that Tim Burton has finally cast Alice in his live-action version of Alice in Wonderland (not to be confused with the long-suffering American McGee creation). According to the commenter, Ian B: "My brother is working on the movie and he said Alice has been cast. He is a music supervisor for the movie and said there will be a press release about it on July 9th. The role was originally supposed to be Evan Rachel Woods but she backed out. Alice won't be played by a child but a 23 year old. From what I was told it's her first Burton movie, and her first big role in a film that will be released world wide." So who's the lucky gal? Say hello to Ryan Nikole Parker. Parker is not very well known, and other than a few TV credits is a relative newcomer to the business.
Burton struck the deal for Alice with Disney back in November, and according to comments on the IMDB message boards, he's already finished casting. Luckily for us, July 9th isn't that far away, so we won't be waiting long for the official word.
Sound off below on who you would like to see go down the rabbit hole with Mr. Burton.

According to commenter Ian B. and the IMDB message boards?
Worst...sources...ever.
Btw, wasn't this supposed to be another bullshit motion-capture movie a la Beowulf?

i second it, those are some pretty bad sources, and yeah, it it supposed to be part animation like beowulf
I was quite sad though a few month ago when I heard I had missed the casting call for Alice, but since then I haven't heard anything, hopefully it won't turn out like belive it or not and fall through with tim being the director... but it might if he's working on Dark Shadows

damn! I really thought he could wedge Helena Bonham Carter into that one.
Oh well, this all but confirms that she'll be the Queen of Hearts. Depp will undoubtedly join her as the Cheshire Cat.

I'm so thrilled to hear about this Tim Burton film. I love love love Alice In Wonderland. I"m not such a fan of the 1985 Version but it's still good. I can not wait for this to be out and all over!! It's like having Peanut Butter and Oreos.. except it's Tim Burton and Alice in Wonderland.
