Queen of Hearts?
Now that SMG is set to play Alice, wouldn't it be fun if Charisma were to be cast as the Queen of Hearts?
And James Marsters as the Mad Hatter! (Ok, I know it won't happen, but I'm having fun casting this anyway. Alexis Denisof as the Caterpillar?)

They're remaking Alice in Wonderland? I had no idea.

Well, it's a Gothic version, very dark and twisted. A grown-up tramatized Alice returns to Wonderland after her entire family is murdered and finds Wonderland has also changed...sounds rather interesting, in a way. |

In the game (this is based on American Mcgee ALice). Alice is crazy after a fire that kills all her family. She's locked in a place for crazy people (I don't remember the name on English) and she goes, in her mind on a travel to Wonderland to face her past. Is not the book, here everyone dies, even the cat and hte bunny. And the Queen of hearts is really Alice. It's the last part of the game and it's difficult to kill her. After killing her bad side (that's what Queen of heart is) Alice is sane again and can go to home (or whatever)
First, I don't see SMG as Alice: I don't find her enought good actress to play Alice in what really the game is I read some things about "normal again" or Cruel intentions Not remotelly near of that Very much twisted. Also Alice is a teen, to be exact 17. I read something about Dakota Fanning. I think she could do it. I think, as afan of the game, it could have more sense a kid than a near 30 ALice. Sorry, but I don't think SMG has a lot of range to play this type of role. Last edited by v120176; 06-21-2005 at 04:21 PM. |

Sounds sort of like "Labyrinth," part updated fairy tale/borderline pedaphile bodice ripper.
Depending on how old they wanna make her, I could see people like Alexis Bledel, Emma Watson or (don't hurt me) Lindsey Lohan. They can act, still come across as believable teens (since two of them are), but have that 'budding womanhood' thing going. Plus, at least Watson wouldn't have to fake an accent and Lohan surprisingly has the range. I can't see Bledel as a blonde but she certainly has the little girl voice down. Another person I can think of who probably wouldn't touch it though is Monica Keena. I loved her "Snow White" w/ Sigourny Weaver. What's more fun that a little cannibalism, madness, incest, cabals, magic and gang rape in a dark forest?

Just to give an idea of what Alice is and the level of spychosis it has, here's a picture of her :

Very very interesting. In a way it kind of reminds me of that ShowTime version of Snow White which was very dark and scary...nothing like the Disney version.
Do we know if this is going to be a live action movie or if it's going to be a CGI thing? ETA- Thanks for the details

From those pic's it really does look like something up Bledel's alley. Or Edward Gorey. Also reminds me of 'The Company of Wolves,' which had one of the weird plotlines. Great vibe and effects but even for a dream it made me throw up my hands at points. I'm not sure why SMG would be interested in this unless she's resigned herself to a horror niche given "The Grudge" and her outstanding work in stuff like "Cruel Intentions." Maybe she's going after Ricci's stuff.

I really, really, really love this game. I don't go very much with PC games (except when I can't go to the gym and I want to loose some tension ) but in my house I have a bunch of people that love them.
I totally loved this I played it a lot of times. To me is the better one in terms of grapichs and ide. I think if Lewis Carroll was still alive he would have love this. Total psycho game. Sorry for the rant. OH.MY.GOD, Karkar, you gave me the idea...... Ricci is perfect for this, she has the talent and the looks and she looks younger than she is. Sorry for SMG fans, but she can't hold a chance against Ricci for this. Last edited by v120176; 06-21-2005 at 05:45 PM. |

It was quite good and I really loved the twist it took on the whole Snow White/Wicked Queen angle.

Anyway, SMG is definitely set to play Alice, so considering who might do better is irrelevant- it's a done deal! But she has a couple of films to do first, which don't fit the horror niche. So I wouldn't say she's resigned herself. Who would everyone cast as the characters (from BtVS or AtS??) See: AICN and Zap2it for more on Alice. Last edited by Andromeda7_4; 06-21-2005 at 06:28 PM. |

Morrigan, Showtime at the time was picking up movies that didn't find distributors but were risky like the new "Lolita," which may have been better left alone. I liked that Lo was actually closer to the character in the book and Jeremy Irons was his usual nuanced himself but it still strikes me as being two steps away from jerry springer.

As for SMG playing Alice... I don't know. Alice, herself, was by far the creepiest thing on that game and I'm not really sure how Geller's Alice would be. If its like the depressed Buffy of late BTVS that just doesn't fit. I wonder can SMG do an english accent? Alexis Bledel has the look. |
