Espresso singer Sabrina Carpenter will star in and produce a new musical movie version of Alice in Wonderland.<\/p>\n

Details of the Universal Pictures project are thin on the ground, but Wicked producer Marc Platt is on board, after previously steering the smash-hit Wizard of Oz prequel from Broadway to theaters to huge success.<\/p>\n

Succession director Lorene Scafaria, who also wrote and helmed Hustlers, Jennifer Lopez’s attempt at a big screen crime movie, is attached as well.<\/p>\n

It’s presumed this will be a new live-action take on the classic Alice in Wonderland story, which was last adapted (without songs) by Tim Burton for his 2010 movie starring Johnny Depp and Mia Wasikowska. That film proved a billion-dollar success for Disney, and a sequel was eventually launched some six years later.<\/p>\n

But, as yet, there’s no confirmation on exactly what Carpenter’s version of the project will look like. Perhaps it will be animated? The most famous big screen version of the story arguably remains Disney’s original 1951 adaptation (which did feature musical numbers).<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Hollywood Reporter writes that Alice in Wonderland is a passion project for Carpenter, and that the idea has been quietly percolating for some time alongside the singer’s work on her most recent album Man’s Best Friend, which recently launched to a string of Grammy nominations.<\/p>\n

Carpenter is no stranger to movies, having graduated from her Disney Channel TV origins to appear in a range of films, including Netflix’s teen romantic comedy Tall Girl franchise. Recent months have also seen the popstar duet on the title track of Taylor Swift’s The Life of a Showgirl and host Saturday Night Live.<\/p>\n

Need your musical movie fix a little sooner? The Ariana Grande-starring Wicked: For Good arrives in theaters this month and wraps up the story begun in last year’s Wicked: Part One. This week, star Jeff Goldblum revealed that working on the project had made him give up eating meat.<\/p>\n
