- Christopher Lee was cast in the the movie. Slashfilm.com speculated that he would either The Caterpillar, King of Hearts, or The White Knight. Sounds good to me. While I would like to see him play the Caterpillar, I know that he has the most experience as rather Royal figures so King of Hearts is a good bet.
- Danny Elfman (probably the biggest composer ever...behind John Williams) also announced his involvement in the score for the film.
-Crispin Glover was cast as the Knave of Hearts. You would recognize him from Charlie Angles...and...Beowulf as Grendel... Kidding aside he looks the part so it seems like a good call.
-Obviously old news, but Johnny Depp is the Mad Hatter. Really enough said.
- Matt Lucas was cast as Tweedledee and Tweedledum. Again like Glover, not a name but certainly looks the park.
- Anne Hathaway was cast as the White Queen. This is type casting. C'mon, branch out. Do more things like Rachel Getting Married (review coming up soon). While she will be good, I wish she would stop with the princess/queen roles.
- In the least shocking casting news Tim Burtons wife Helena Bonham Carter was cast as the Red Queen. She's a good actress, but it just upsets me when she is cast in EVERY ONE of Burton's films.
