"The Hollywood Reporter cited sources who called the upcoming musical a "passion project" for Carpenter, who reportedly came to Universal equipped with ideas - and a lookbook. (Can you imagine the movie's 'fits? The press tour?) If you've been following Carpenter well before she ever brewed "Espresso," this may not come as a surprise. Last year, for example, fans interpreted Carpenter and then-beau Barry Keoghan's Met Gala looks as a nod to Alice and the Mad Hatter."
"But the lore goes even further than that. In 2015, Carpenter hosted an Alice in Wonderland-themed sweet 16. And in 2020, it was announced that she would lead and produce a musical reimagining called Alice for Netflix, set at a musical festival called Wonderland. As the multi-hyphenate told Bustle in 2022, it would be something "no one's ever seen before.""
Sabrina Carpenter will star in and produce a Universal Pictures musical inspired by Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland. Lorene Scafaria will write and direct. The project originated as a passion project for Carpenter, who presented Universal with creative ideas and a lookbook. Carpenter has long referenced Alice in her public imagery, including a themed 16th birthday and past Met Gala nods. A previous musical reimagining titled Alice was announced for Netflix in 2020 and was set at a music festival called Wonderland. The new film's musical direction relative to the earlier Netflix project has not been disclosed.
