Tim Burton has finally found his Alice; something I’ve actually been wondering about for months. There weren’t really a lot of clues to who would be cast for the role of little Alice as she gets stuck in Wonderland. They’ve decided on Mia Wasikowska. I really had to look up that name because I never hear of her before. She’s seventeen and from Australia and is best known so far for her role in the HBO series In Treatment.

If I had to put money on who would have gotten the role I had actually said AnnaSophia Robb seeing she already worked with Tim Burton and she has worked with Disney. As I said I don’t know whether Mia is a good actress or not; I just know that she’s a bit old to play Alice. Alice from the book isn’t even close to being seventeen years old.

The movie will be a combination between live action and performance capture which I’m not too sure about. Beowulf sucked in my eyes and that was completely performance capture, I don’t really see the advantage over live action in certain cases. So I hope that performance capture will be limited to the more difficult parts of the Wonderland part.

I have no doubt that this will launch Mia Wasikowska in Hollywood though, Tim Burton movies usually are a good place to start. Though it’s no guarantee for a long career.
