Sabrina Carpenter, the 26-year-old pop star, is set to take on her first major studio feature in an exciting new project. Reports have confirmed that Carpenter will both produce and star in a movie musical that draws inspiration from Lewis Carroll’s classic novel, ‘Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland’.
The film, which will be directed by Lorene Scafaria, known for her work on HBO’s I Love L.A., is slated to be produced by Marc Platt, the mastermind behind the popular stage and screen adaptations of Wicked. Universal Pictures will be backing the project, adding to the anticipation surrounding Carpenter’s venture into the world of Wonderland.
While Netflix had previously announced a similar project back in 2020, this new musical adaptation promises to bring a fresh perspective to the timeless tale. The story of ‘Alice in Wonderland’ has seen various interpretations over the years, including Disney’s beloved animated film from 1951 and Tim Burton’s live-action adaptation in 2010.
Carpenter, who shot to fame with her role as Maya Hart in Disney’s Girl Meets World, is no stranger to the entertainment industry. Having started her acting career at just 11 years old with a guest appearance on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, Carpenter has since showcased her talent in a range of projects, from TV movies to teen rom-coms.
In a recent interview with Teen Vogue, Carpenter reflected on her time on Girl Meets World, describing it as a formative experience that shaped her career. Since the show concluded in 2017, Carpenter has delved into more mature roles, including appearances in acclaimed films like The Hate U Give and The Short History of the Long Road.
Despite her success in the acting world, Carpenter has also dedicated herself to music, earning multiple Grammy nominations for her music. Her seventh studio album, Man’s Best Friend, has garnered critical acclaim and further solidified Carpenter’s position as a versatile artist.
As she gears up for her latest venture into the world of ‘Alice in Wonderland’, fans of Carpenter can look forward to seeing her bring a fresh perspective to the beloved story. With her talent and experience both on screen and in the studio, Carpenter is sure to enchant audiences in this new musical adaptation.
