Overview
- Universal is developing the untitled musical with producers Marc Platt, Leslie Morgenstein and Elysa Koplovitz Dutton attached.
- Universal executives Ryan Jones and Jacqueline Garell will oversee development, with Katie McNicol supervising for Marc Platt Productions.
- The film draws directly from Lewis Carroll’s public-domain novel and is positioned as a fresh reimagining rather than a take on Disney or Tim Burton versions.
- This marks Carpenter’s first leading role in a major-studio feature as she also serves as a producer.
- An earlier Alice musical Carpenter developed at Netflix in 2020 did not move forward, and no additional casting, production start or release timeline has been announced.
