Get ready for a magical cinematic experience as Sabrina Carpenter takes on the iconic role of Alice in an upcoming Universal Pictures musical adaptation of the classic Lewis Carroll tale.

The 26-year-old Grammy-winning artist is set to not only star in the film but also serve as a producer alongside industry veteran Marc Platt, known for producing hits like “Wicked”. With “Hustlers” and “Succession” director Lorene Scafaria at the helm, this reimagining promises to bring a fresh perspective to the beloved story.

Carpenter’s journey from Disney Channel’s “Girl Meets World” to her current status as a multi-talented performer has been nothing short of remarkable. Her recent success with the “Man’s Best Friend” album, which garnered six Grammy nominations, demonstrates her versatility and artistic range.

Interestingly, Carpenter has long been a fan of “Alice in Wonderland”, revealing in a 2021 interview that it was her favorite movie. This passion, combined with her growing confidence in selecting meaningful projects, makes her the perfect choice for this innovative musical adaptation.

In her own words, Carpenter has spoken about trusting her instincts and choosing projects that resonate with her personally. “For a long time, I was constantly guided and misguided,” she told Time magazine in 2024. “I’m so grateful for all of those times where I was led astray, because now I’m a lot more equipped going into situations where I have to trust my own instincts”.

While plot details remain under wraps, fans can expect a unique interpretation of the classic story that blends Carpenter’s musical talents with the whimsical world of Wonderland. This project marks another exciting milestone in her evolving career, showcasing her continued growth as an artist and performer.

As the entertainment world eagerly anticipates this musical reimagining, one thing is clear: Sabrina Carpenter is not just a performer, but a storyteller ready to bring new life to a timeless tale.
