Crispin Glover has boarded Tim Burton’s take on “Alice in Wonderland,” which is currently in principal photography.

The Hollywood Reporter says Glover is playing the Knave of Hearts, who goes on trial for stealing the Queen of Heart’s tarts.

Glover joins a cast that includes Mia Wasikowska, Johnny Depp, Anne Hathway, Helena Bonham Carter and Matt Lucas.

Burton uses a mix of live action and performance capture to shoot the film, which Walt Disney plans to release in 3D in 2010.

Glover recently starred as Grendel in Robert Zemeckis’ “Beowulf.” He has several projects in development, including “The Forlorn” and “The I Scream Man.”

Last month we posted an “Alice in Wonderland” set pic with links to more right here.

Anne Hathaway and Helena Bonham Carter have signed on to star in Tim Burton’s new take on Lewis Carroll’s “Alice in Wonderland,” according to the Hollywood Reporter.

The trade says Hathaway is set to play the White Queen, the kind monarch banished by the Queen of Hearts (Carter), who’s known for yelling “Off with their heads!”

Australian actress Mia Wasikowska is already on board to play Alice, while Johnny Depp stars as the Mad Hatter. Matt Lucas plays Tweedledum and Tweedledee. Also starring is Michael Sheen.

The project, which has started shooting and will be released in 3D in 2010, is described as a mix of live action and performance-capture technology.

Hathaway recently received plenty of critical acclaim for her performance in “Rachel Getting Married.” The actress will next be seen in “Passengers,” followed by Gary Winick’s “Bride Wars.”

Carter, who’s obviously a regular in Burton’s flick, last starred in “Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street.” She will also briefly appear in McG’s “Terminator Salvation.”

Wow, what a great cast they’re getting together for this. My curiosity is rapidly growing.

Michael Sheen, who delivered an excellent performance as Tony Blair in Stephen Frears’ “The Queen,” has been cast in Tim Burton’s “Alice in Wonderland” and Gregor Jordan’s “Unthinkable,” according to Variety.

In “Unthinkable,” Samuel L. Jackson stars a black-ops interrogator (Jackson) who teams up with an FBI agent (Carrie-Ann Moss) to press a suspect into revealing the locations of three nuclear weapons. What part Sheen will play is unknown at this stage.

The actor will also be seen in Burton’s new take on “Alice in Wonderland,” which stars Mia Wasikowska in the titular role. Also starring is Johnny Depp, who portrays the Mad Hatter.

Sheen most recently starred in “Blood Diamond.” He will next be seen in Ron Howard’s drama “Frost/Nixon,” in which he plays British television presenter David Frost.

Other future projects include “Underworld: Rise of the Lycans” and “The Damned United.” Rumor has it Sheen may reprise his role as Blair in “The Special Relationship,” which looks at the former prime minister’s relationship with Clinton and George W. Bush.

Back in July, we found an article about the possibility of Johnny Depp appearing in Tim Burton’s upcoming version of Lewis Carroll’s “Alice in Wonderland,” and now it’s official: Depp will be a part of the project.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, Depp will play the Mad Hatter. Australian actress Mia Wasikowska is set to play Alice, with Matt Lucas starring as Tweedledum and Tweedledee.

Although I usually ignore rumors, I figured Depp would make at least some sort of appearance in the film. The actor previously worked with Burton on “Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street,” “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” and several other projects.

The Walt Disney-produced project will head into principal photography later this year, with a release in Digital 3D scheduled for 2010.
