News.com.au reports that Canberra-based actress Mia Wasikowska has been selected to play Alice in Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland.
Also confirmed is that Johnny Depp will be a cast member in this movie, possibly playing the Mat Hatter.
Does anyone know this girl or which school she attended?
I’m quite impressed that a local girl has scored such a great role.

What’s Your opinion?
Canberra girl set to star in the next Tim Burton movie
This has definitely got my interest!
Mia I think is from Cook, went to Radford? She is about 17 or 18…Finished a movie with Hilary Swank not long ago..has a great screen presence I am told…only started acting at the age of 16, a natural…
Unfortunately it doesn’t look like this will be based off the game, the rights for that are apparently owned by Universal, and the burton one is owned by Disney.
Still, Burton tends to insert a macabre twist to things, hopefully they’ll get past the Disney execs.
Good luck, Mia!
One of my all time favourites and I’m sure Burton will do it justice.
I love Alice in Wonderland. It’s hilarious! Absolutely wasted on children.
Well done that girl!
: )
This isnt the same movie that was to be based on the video game “Alice” is it? I thought that was still in the limbo its been for the past, what, 6 years?
presumably mia does, and doubtless a residue network of friends and family, if she spent much time here…
not you, then big dave? what do you care about today then?
personally, i rekkun a burton looking glass will be a spectacular thing to look through.
Who cares?
OK, should have said “in recent times”.
If I’ve told you once I’ve told you a million times, don’t exaggerate…
On imdb.com it states that actresses Sigrid Thornton and Erin McNaught (if you call her an actress, former Miss Australia) were born in Canberra… I didn’t know that…

The Nightmare Before Christmas? Planet of the Apes? Mars Attacks!? But perhaps you were being rhetorical.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m a fan of Burton and Depp. Can’t wait to see the new Alice, perhaps it’ll be like American McGee’s semi-horror themed game.
Oops… It’s Mad Hatter, not Mat Hatter…
“Also confirmed is that Johnny Depp will be a cast member in this movie, possibly playing the Mat Hatter.”

What is it with those two?
(Although I have to admit that Depp’s Willy Wonka was a delicious portrayal of someone walking the fragile edge)
