According to Variety, Disney has hired Linda Woolverton, veteran screenwriter of the classics Beauty and the Beast and The Lion King, to write a sequel for ‘Alice in Wonderland’.
Tim Burton’s ‘Alice In Wonderland’ became one of Disney’s great successes after the film brought in over $1 billion worldwide, landing in the top 20 highest grossing films of all-time.
Disney’s and Tim Burton’s take of ‘Alice in Wonderland’, followed an older, teenage Alice who returned to ‘Wonderland’ for the first time in years. The 2010 version of the film featured Anne Hathaway as the White Queen and Johnny Depp playing the Mad Hatter in a much expanded role.
With the success of Linda Woolverton’s writing and the unique creativity of Tim Burton, will the sequel be an even bigger success of the 2010 film?
