UPDATE: In a groundbreaking announcement, singer and actress Sabrina Carpenter is set to produce and star in a new musical film inspired by Alice In Wonderland. The project, which has just been unveiled, promises to deliver a contemporary twist on the classic tale.
Producer Marc Platt, known for his work on the popular Wicked films, confirmed the news in an exclusive interview with Variety earlier today. Platt revealed that the film is still in its early stages, emphasizing its unique approach: “It’s a contemporary story with an allegory to and based loosely on Alice In Wonderland. […] We’re just in the beginning stages,” he stated.
The collaboration with Lorene Scafaria, who will write and direct, adds further excitement to the project. Platt highlighted Carpenter’s talent and vision, praising her as “such a talented and young person” who embodies a fresh artistic voice. He expressed enthusiasm for the journey that Alice undertakes in Lewis Carroll’s original story, suggesting that Carpenter’s interpretation will resonate with modern audiences.
This is not Carpenter’s first venture into Wonderland-themed projects. In 2020, she was set to lead a “musical reimagining” of the classic, which would have taken place at a music festival titled “Wonderland.” However, that initiative never came to fruition, and it remains uncertain if there is any connection between the two projects.
As fans eagerly await more details, the anticipation for Carpenter’s new film continues to grow. The announcement has already sparked significant interest on social media, with many discussing the potential of a modern retelling of the beloved story.
Stay tuned for updates on this exciting development in the entertainment world!
