alice
in wonderland
The
traditional tale has been freshened with a blast of girl power,
courtesy of writer Linda Woolverton (Beauty and the Beast).
Alice, 17, attends a party at a Victorian estate only to find
she is about to be proposed to in front of hundreds of snooty
society types. Off she runs, following a white rabbit into a
hole and ending up in Wonderland, a place she visited 10 years
before yet doesn't remember.
Among
those who welcome her back is the Mad Hatter, a part tailor-made
for Johnny Depp as he collaborates with Burton for the seventh
time. "This character is off his rocker," Zanuck says.
