Crispin Glover to play Knave of Hearts in Tim Burton’s adaptation
Cult director and actor Crispin Glover has signed on to play the Knave of Hearts in Tim Burton’s adaptation of “Alice in Wonderland” for Disney.
Glover joins Mia Wasikowska as Alice and a cast that includes Johnny Depp, Anne Hathaway and Helena Bonham Carter. Burton is using a combination of live action and performance-capture technology to tell the Lewis Carroll story.
The APA-repped Glover is no stranger to performance-capture technology: He worked in the medium for “Beowulf.”
In “Alice,” the Knave of Hearts is put on trial for stealing the Queen of Hearts’ tarts and is defended by Alice
