Sabrina Carpenter dives down the rabbit hole in daring new ‘Alice in Wonderland’ musical

Sabrina Carpenter is taking her creative empire one step further by stepping into the world of Alice in Wonderland. The pop superstar and actor is set to star in and produce a new musical film for Universal Pictures, inspired by Lewis Carroll’s timeless tale. The project, currently untitled, has already sent ripples through Hollywood thanks to Carpenter’s hands-on involvement and the powerhouse team behind it.

The film will be written and directed by Lorene Scafaria, known for the Jennifer Lopez hit Hustlers, while Wicked producer Marc Platt joins forces with Alloy Entertainment, the studio responsible for Gossip Girl and Pretty Little Liars. With such names attached, the production promises a bold and modern take on Carroll’s whimsical world.

According to insiders, this isn’t just another studio assignment for Carpenter. Reports suggest she approached Universal herself over a year ago, armed with specific ideas and even a lookbook that outlined her vision for the project. It has since grown into a passion-driven collaboration, with Scafaria shaping the script to match Carpenter’s artistic direction.

The story will likely reimagine the fantastical chaos of Wonderland through a fresh musical lens, blending sharp humour and contemporary energy. While plot details remain under wraps, sources say Carpenter is deeply involved in both the creative and musical aspects, ensuring her signature touch resonates throughout.

Carpenter’s rise has been meteoric. Fresh off six Grammy nominations for Man’s Best Friend, including album and song of the year, she has cemented her position as both a chart-topping artist and a growing Hollywood presence. Her previous acting credits include The Hate U Give, Emergency, and the beloved Girl Meets World series.

Fans online are already buzzing about what her version of Alice might look like, with speculation running wild on social media about the film’s tone, soundtrack, and aesthetic. Given Carpenter’s current cultural dominance, expectations are sky-high for this twisted take on the classic adventure.
