More On Tim Burton's Alice In Wonderland

Stephen Fry has been cast as the cheshire catin Tim Burton's version of Alice In Wonderland - which is in post production stages and has been given a 2010 release date even though some roles have yet to be completed.

Stephen Fry announced his role via Twitter, and according to Digital Spy has this to say "I have to say I didn't know the project was happening," he said. "My agent rang up and said, 'Can you see Tim Burton and lay down some Cheshire Cat action.' I said I'd be honoured to do so." He firther elaborated upon voice work stating, "You're alone in a little glass booth with Tim on the other side making suggestions as to how he wants the voice to be, you're not all gathered together as a cast," and "My friend Michael Sheen is playing the White Rabbit, I know him jolly well. We don't have a 'scene' together. We do have dialogue together but he'll probably do his in America, in London or wherever he is, and they'll get mixed together in the end."
