Crispin Glover Joins Alice In Wonderland Tim Burton's movie just got weirder Source: The Hollywood Reporter
It’s probably fair to say that Tim Burton’s take on Alice In Wonderland might be a little… weird.
Well, it just got weirder, with the news that the awesome and kooky Crispin Glover has become the latest actor to join the project.
Glover will play the Knave Of Hearts in the movie, which will use a combination of live-action and motion-capture to bring Lewis Carroll’s magical fantasy to life.
The Knave, in case you can’t recall, features in Chapter 11 of the book – Who Stole The Tarts? Accused by the Queen Of Hearts of stealing some jam tarts, the Knave is put on increasingly absurd trial, with Alice defending his honour, in a madcap scene that should, if Burton is being faithful, feature Johnny Depp’s Mad Hatter.
Glover, of course, was last seen in Robert Zemeckis’ Beowulf, so he has previous when it comes to this type of movie. And he’ll fit in perfectly with a cast that also includes Michael Sheen, Anne Hathaway and – as Alice herself – Mia Wasikowska.
Truth be told, we’re a little surprised that it’s taken Burton and Glover so long to hook up – we already can’t wait to see the supremely demented results.

Yip it appears so. I've just read that Rickman will play the caterpillar and that Christopher Lee has signed on, although his role hasn't yet been announced. I also read that Michael Sheen will be playing the Cheshire Cat. With Depp as the Mad Hatter and Matt Lucas as Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee this sounds like superb casting all round ... Read More
Any truth in the new rumuor that Alan Rickman and Christopher Lee have joined the cast as the Caterpilllar and a mystery role? If so, my excitement levels are going to go through the roof - and that's saying something for a film not out for a couple of years yet... ... Read More
