Crispen Glover in ‘Alice’

[Lucius]

According to comingsoon.net:

“Crispin Glover (Beowulf) has signed on to play the Knave of Hearts in Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland at Walt Disney Pictures.

Glover joins Mia Wasikowska as Alice and a cast that includes Johnny Depp, Anne Hathaway and Helena Bonham Carter. Burton is using a combination of live action and performance-capture technology to tell the Lewis Carroll story.

The APA-repped Glover is no stranger to performance-capture technology: He worked in the medium for “Beowulf.”

In “Alice,” the Knave of Hearts is put on trial for stealing the Queen of Hearts’ tarts and is defended by Alice.”

Course I think he would be a great Cheshire Cat…but we all agree that should go to Danny.

I’m not sure I’m that keen on Burton using lots of motion-capture animation in ALICE, if that is indeed true. If it’s just a character or two, like Gollum in LORD OF THE RINGS, it”s OK. But not too much.

I know you’re right, it’s not like I get paid to look at the internet and listen to music all day….oh wait!

Looks like Michael Sheen will be playing the Cheshire Cat:

Looks like a very interesting cast so far.

I don’t mind the desicion to do it motion capture as long as the CG characters have that NMBC look.

A friend of mine told me that IMDB is listing Christopher Lee as part of the cast as well as Alan Rickman as the Caterpillar.
