In September it was revealed that Disney Channel alum Sabrina Carpenter would be returning to her acting roots for Seth Rogen’s upcoming The Muppet Show revival. Today, she’s officially adding another acting project to her schedule, as she’s set to star in and co-produce an upcoming Alice In Wonderland movie musical.
The Hollywood Reporter notes that the untitled film for Universal Pictures will be based on Lewis Carroll’s classic 1865 novel. Lorene Scafaria, best known for her 2019 strip club crime-comedy Hustlers, will write and direct the new Alice adaptation, while Wicked mastermind Marc Platt will also produce.
Sources told THR that the movie is a “passion project” for Carpenter, who reportedly approached Universal herself to pitch a new Alice In Wonderland adaptation before Scafaria was attached to the project. I wonder if the Mad Hatter will serve espresso instead of tea.
Meanwhile, Carpenter is also celebrating six new Grammy nominations: “Manchild” is up for Song Of The Year, Record Of The Year, Best Pop Solo Performance, and Best Music Video, while Man’s Best Friend got nods for Album Of The Year and Best Pop Vocal Album.
