Universal Pictures has greenlit the untitled project, which will be written and directed by filmmaker Lorene Scafaria, known for \u201cHustlers\u201d and \u201cThe Meddler\u201d, reported Variety.<\/p>\n
In addition to starring in the project, Carpenter will also produce alongside Marc Platt through his Universal-based banner Marc Platt Productions. Leslie Morgenstein and Elysa Koplovitz Dutton will produce through Alloy Entertainment.<\/p>\n
Carpenter previously appeared in Netflix films such as \u201cTall Girl\u201d and \u201cThe Hate U Give\u201d but has been focusing on her music career in recent years. She last week earned six Grammy nominations for her seventh studio album \u201cMan\u2019s Best Friend,\u201d including nods for Album of the Year, Record of the Year, and Song of the Year.<\/p>\n
Sources close to the development told Variety that Carpenter first brought the concept to Universal in 2024, and Scafaria joined the project as writer and director as it took shape.<\/p>\n
Scafaria most recently directed HBO\u2019s \u201cI Love L.A.\u201d and episodes of the Emmy-winning series \u201cSuccession\u201d. Her 2019 hit \u201cHustlers\u201d, starring Jennifer Lopez, grossed over USD 100 million at the North American box office.<\/p>\n
Interestingly, Netflix had previously acquired a musical adaptation of \u201cAlice in Wonderland\u201d from Carpenter\u2019s At Last Productions in 2020, but the project did not move forward.<\/p>\n
The 1865 novel has been a timeless source of inspiration for filmmakers, artists and musicians across generations.<\/p>\n
The fantastical tale of a young girl\u2019s journey through a surreal, dreamlike world populated by eccentric characters has seen multiple film and television adaptations \u2014 from Walt Disney\u2019s beloved 1951 animated classic to Tim Burton\u2019s 2010 live-action reimagining starring Mia Wasikowska and Johnny Depp.<\/p>\n
