Anne Hathaway to Play in Disney’s “Alice in Wonderland”

After some trouble with her Italian boyfriend, Anne Hathaway entered wonderland, but not as herself. The 25-year-old actress will play in Tim Burton's Disney version of Alice in Wonderland. Helena Bonham Carter, Burton’s fiancée, also booked a role in the upcoming film.

Hathaway will reportedly play the White Queen, a caring ruler who is deposed and banished by her sister the Red Queen. The latter role will be plaid by Bonham Carter.

The Disney version of Alice in Wonderland stars 18-year-old Australian actress Mia Wasikowska as Alice and Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter. The movie’s producers will use a combination of live action and performance-capture technology to better illustrate the Lewis Carroll story that made so many children happy.

The film, which will be made in 3D, is scheduled to be released in March 2010.

Hathaway generated a lot of buzz with her roles in films such as “The Devil Wears Prada,” “The Princess Diaries” and “Get Smart.” Her latest film, horror thriller “Passengers,” will hit cinemas next month.

Burton's list of movies includes “Edward Scissorhands,” “Batman” and “Big Fish.”

Carter and Depp costarred last year in Burton's "Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street."

Hathaway went through a tough emotional period after her Italian boyfriend, Raffaello Follieri, was found guilty of fraud of $2 million. Follieri was arrested in June and is waiting sentencing this month.
