However, if Disney gets its way, Burton?s next film could be a different sequel ? namely, a followup to?Alice in Wonderland. That Oscar-winning hit?was written by Linda Woolverton (The Lion King, Mulan) and features a cast that includes Mia Wasikowska, Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter, among others.

Woolverton?s Alice screenplay draws from Lewis Carroll?s classic novel ?Alice?s Adventures in Wonderland? and its followup ?Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There.? However, it abandons the episodic madness of Caroll?s source material for a hero?s journey narrative where nineteen-year old Alice (Wasikowska) flees a prospective marriage in the real world ? only to discover that Wonderland has been awaiting her return, to lead a revolution against the tyrannical Red Queen (Carter). In other words, it?s Alice in Wonderland meets Chronicles of Narnia.

?Variety?is reporting that Disney has Woolverton penning a sequel, which is also in the process of becoming a stage musical. There?s no mention of Burton?s possible involvement (yet), but he will be made an offer. The same goes for Depp, who is starring in the House of Mouse?s?Lone Ranger next year ? and (probably) is going to make Pirates of the Caribbean 5 sometime in the foreseeable future.
