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.
Wasikowska got her start on the Aussie series "All Saints" and is a regular on HBO's "In Treatment." She next will appear opposite Daniel Craig in Ed Zwick's war drama Defiance and just completed filming the role of a young Amelia Earhart fan in Mira Nair's biopic Amelia starring Hilary Swank.
Principal photography starts in November.
I think you've gotten it mixed up with Marylin Manson's one, Phantasmagoria: The Visions of Lewis Carroll.

He'd make a great Mad Hatter.
Why? Because you once saw him in a movie wearing a top hat? or because it's fun to put out Johnny's name for anything remotely 'weird'

Depp has actually said he wanted to be Alice just so he could work with Burton again. They're very close.Probably because Johnny Depp is a given for any Tim Burton film nowadays, and it makes more sense to cast him as the Mad Hatter than Alice.
