Crispin Glover in ‘Wonderland’

In the “perfect casting choice of the week”, Crispin Glover has signed on to appear in Tim Burton’s reimagining of ‘Alice in Wonderland’. Â  Glover will play the Knave of Hearts, who is put on trial by the Queen of Hearts for stealing her tarts. Â  I guess they needed a rhyme for “hearts”.

The Knave of Hearts is defended in the story by Alice once the evidence against him grows increasingly absurd.

This is looking to be the perfectly cast film, as Johnny Depp has already signed on as the Mad Hatter. Â  Other casting includes Helena Bonham Carter as the Red Queen, Anne Hathaway as the White Queen, Michael Sheen as the Cheshire Cat, and Alan Rickman as the Caterpillar. Â  Newcomer Mia Wasikowska is playing Alice.

The film is due for release on March 19, 2010.
