Michael Sheen is The Cheshire Cat in ALICE IN WONDERLAND!

Damn fine casting right here. Michael Sheen, the guy who imitated Tony Blair and his Cheshire Cat smile quite brilliantly in THE QUEEN, has been cast in Tim Burton’s ALICE IN WONDERLAND.

Although Variety don’t say, he has to be playing The Cheshire Cat, right?

Another excellent casting choice from Burton. Motion capturing the face of that Cheshire Cat, I can’t imagine anyone’s wide smile being more fitting.

The trade also tell us that Michael Sheen has joined UNTHINKABLE, the new movie from Gregor Jordan (BUFFALO SOLDIERS, NED KELLY) which looks at the ethics of torture after a terrorist threatening to detonate nuclear devices in the U.S. is questioned by a black-ops interrogator and an FBI agent.

Samuel L. Jackson plays the black-ops interrogator, Carrie Anne-Moss is the FBI agent.

That movie begins filming later this month. Sheen can be next seen as David Frost in Ron Howard’s FROST/NIXON which begins a limited U.S. run from December 5th (January in the U.K.).

I rented all the wizrd of oz costumes for a high school play in Fairhaven , Conn. It was a 2 hour ride but worth the trip. I rented 50 costumes and she only charge me 25.00 each. The costmes were sensational. The kids were so excited at the colorful costumes]I have rented other place but Bruna costumes is awesome to do business Bruna is working on the alice in wonderland now . I saw the cheshie cat and she is working on the red queen. I gurarantee that you will be awed by the talent and credativity of the owner
