Anne Hathaway and Helena Bonham Carter are a pair of old queens... Well, in Tim Burton's mind anyway, we couldn't possibly agree.
The noodle-headed master of gothic weirdness has cast Hathaway and his lovely missus Bonham Carter as the White Queen and the Red Queen respectively in his adaptation of Lewis Carroll's Alice In Wonderland for Disney.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Anne and Helena will be joining the likes of newcomer Mia Wasikowska (Alice) and Johnny Depp (The Mad Hatter) and the rumoured presence of Matt Lucas and Michael Sheen.
Hathaway's White Queen is "a benevolent monarch" who dispatches Alice to slay a creature known as the Bandersnatch after being banished by her decapitation-loving sister, the Red Queen (Carter). All of which sounds suitably Burton-esque and really rather Carrollian.
