A Bar Song (Tipsy)

Sabrina Carpenter‘s years-in-the-making Alice in Wonderland project is finally happening, with the pop star recently inking a deal to produce and star in a musical film for Universal Pictures in collaboration with Lorene Scafaria.

As reported by multiple outlets on Tuesday (Nov. 11), Carpenter is moving forward with the major studio picture five years after it was first announced that she would lead a musical remake of the beloved Lewis Carroll novel for Netflix through her then-new At Last Productions company. At the time, Ross Evans had been set to write the screenplay for what was going to be Alice — which was described as being a “contemporary re-imagining” of the storyline revolving around a music festival called “Wonderland” — but this new iteration will be written and directed by Scafaria, and plot details are under wraps.
