Anne Hathaway and Helena Bonham Carter are joining Tim Burtons’s new Disney movie, Alice In Wonderland, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
The pair join the cast of Johnny Depp who is playing the Mad Hatter and Mia Wasikowska is taking on the role of Alice.
The movie which is set for a March 2010 release will use live action and performance-capture technology, like in Beowulf.
Reporter describes Hathaway and Carter’s roles as the White Queen (Hathaway), 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.
Anne Hathaway has said that she will remain all natural with her pale skin after saying she had a bad experience with fake tan.
She says, “I did try it once and it looked good. But I’m so pale that when it started to fade it looked like I had leprosy. Now I just embrace the pale look.”
Anne Hathaway attends the premiere of The Class at the 46th New York Film Festival on Friday night (September 26) in New York City.
Hathaway who has just been cast in a new movie titled The Opposite of Love, recently told MTV that there will not be a sequel to the 2006 hit movie, The Devil Wears Prada, well not yet anyway.
She says, “I’m really, really proud of Fox’s decision not to pursue a sequel, when I did Bride Wars [her next movie with Kate Hudson, click here for trailer] with them I asked what happened, and they said we can’t make a story, and it’s not worth it to damage the original film.”
Still that doesn’t mean she wouldn’t play the role of Andy Sachs again, she went on to say, “I remember calling them after the fervor had died out in America, and Meryl [Streep] and I were on a press tour in Europe, I was having such a fun time talking about it all that I called up the executives at Fox who had chamiponed it and I said, ‘Can we just come up with a story please?’ And they said ‘We’re working on it’.”
She finished off saying, “I think if they were to find a story, who knows? But sadly, they haven’t come up with one, but I mean, who knows? Maybe they will someday.”
