Pop sensation Sabrina Carpenter is set to take on the iconic role of Alice in a new, big-screen musical adaptation of Lewis Carroll's beloved classic "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland." The Disney star, who has already made waves with her Grammy-nominated music, will not only star but also produce this highly anticipated Universal Pictures project.
Carpenter, fresh from garnering a slew of nominations at the upcoming Grammys, joins forces with filmmaker Lorene Scafaria, known for her work on "Hustlers," to bring this timeless tale to life. Marc Platt, the mastermind behind stage hits like "Wicked" and "La La Land," will also be on board to helm the production.
This new movie marks a significant milestone in Carpenter's acting career, as she transitions from supporting roles to leading lady status for a major studio. The Montgomery County native has made a name for herself with appearances in films such as "Tall Girl," "Horns," and "The Hate U Give." Before launching her music career, she was also a mainstay on the Disney Channel's spinoff series "Girl Meets World."
Carpenter's latest Grammy nods have been met with widespread excitement, as she has secured spots in three of the award show's four major categories: album, record, and song of the year. Her seventh studio album, "Man's Best Friend," has yielded a hit single in "Manchild," which will also compete for best pop solo performance and best music video at the Grammys.

. been feeling like we're stuck in a weird loop with movies based on classic books, can't wait to see how this one turns out 
. love that Disney's involved, might be cool to see where they take it from there. Carpenter's been killing it with her music, hope she brings the same energy to acting 
.
, and getting to play Alice in a big-screen musical adaptation of Wonderland is like a dream come true for her! Lorene Scafaria as the director and Marc Platt producing is pretty awesome too, they have some great track records behind them. I don’t know much about Lewis Carroll’s original book but it sounds like this movie could be super fun and visually stunning 
... hopefully Sabrina can bring a lot of depth to Alice and make it her own in the process 
i mean, alice in wonderland is such a classic, but it needs someone with her range to bring it to life. and producing? wow, that's just another level of impressive 
i've seen some of her music vids and she has this certain... je ne sais quoi 
she's probly gonna nail it tho! i mean, shes already shown her acting chops in movies like "Tall Girl" n all 
. & can we pls talk bout how iconic the original story is? its been a fav childhood tale 4ever n its dope 2 see someone new bring it 2 life 
. dont @ me when she gets her oscar 
Her music skills might just make it work tho, fingers crossed for a sick soundtrack 
I'm low-key obsessed with this casting choice, but high-key wondering how she's gonna pull off that iconic character 
. I mean, have you seen her in 'Tall Girl' or 'Girl Meets World'? She's got the acting chops to bring Wonderland to life 
! And with Marc Platt on board, we know it's gonna be a visually stunning adaptation 
. Fingers crossed they don't mess it up 
. I'm also super stoked she's producing this too - girl power, am I right? 
I'm already imagining her doing all the singing and dancing for the musical numbers... she better bring the house down! 
what do you guys think, is this a good choice for sabrina to take on leading lady status?
SHE'S ALREADY PROVEN HERSELF AS A TALENTED ACTRESS IN MOVIES AND MUSIC, NOW IT'S TIME FOR HER TO SHINE ON THE BIG SCREEN!!! I THINK THIS PROJECT COULD BE REALLY INTERESTING, LORENE SCAFARIA IS KNOWN FOR HER WORK ON "HUSTLERS" WHICH IS SUCH A POWERFUL FILM, BUT ALSO MARCH PLATT IS COMING IN AS THE PRODUCER WHICH IS AWESOME!!! 
I JUST CAN'T WAIT TO SEE SABRINA'S TAKE ON ALICE!!!
The fact that she's producing too is awesome, love that she's taking control of her own projects
