Lohan Wants Lead in Burton's Alice

According to Digital Spy, Lindsay Lohan is pushing hard for the lead role in Tim Burton's upcoming adaptation of Alice in Wonderland. Tim Burton is set to write and produce the film which will be a mix of live-action and performance-capture animation. Basically think Beowulf.

Burton told the site, "The stories are like drugs for children, you know? It's like, 'Whoa, man.' I think it's an interesting challenge to direct." Which may be why he isn't listed as directing it. Now I don't believe this is the same project that is going to be based off of American McGee's Alice video game that Sarah Michelle Gellar has been attached to for years.

Personally I'm not exactly sure what to think of Lindsay Lohan playing Alice because you won't necessarily see her face. It's more of just a mo-cap thing and then doing some voice over work. Well we will be following this one closely and will let you know when the final choice for Alice is made.
