It was announced last week that Sabrina Carpenter is producing and starring in a movie musical based on Alice In Wonderland. Marc Platt, a producer of the recent Wicked movies, is on board here, while Lorene Scafaria is writing and directing. Now, thanks to Platt, we know a little more about the project.

In an interview with Variety’s Marc Malkin, Platt said:

“It’s an idea that Sabrina’s had, and so we’re just in the beginning stages. But it’s a contemporary story with an allegory to and based loosely on Alice In Wonderland. […] We sat down and we talked about it, and I thought she’s such a talented and young person, and a voice. I love her music and she was just smart and articulate and liked the journey that Alice goes on in the Lewis Carroll book, and so I said, ‘Let’s take a shot at it.’ So, we’re early days.”
