| Tim Burton and Disney are in final talks with Australian actress Mia Wasikowska to play Alice in Burton's take on Lewis Carroll's classic fantasy novel Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. The deal marks the end of a long search for the big-budget project's title character.
Alice in Wonderland, 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. Disney creative executive Jason Reed will oversee the project, which is set to begin principal photography in November.
Wasikowska is a regular on HBO's In Treatment. | [from scifi.com]
