Does anyone know anything about the movie version of American McGee's Alice?

Question

They seem to keep changing everything...I live in the UK but my parents moved to America and I visit them often. I picked up a game awhile ago called "American McGee's Alice" and I love it. I hear they're making a movie version, but IMBD doesn't seem to have a thing on it. They keep switching plots and actresses, and release dates...does anyone know when it really comes out and who will be in it?

OMG! THERE'S GONNA BE A MOVIE?

I actually had the same question, because I saw Sarah Michelle Gellar was signed on a few months ago and now shes not. So here's what's happening: In December 2000, director Wes Craven signed on to develop a film adaptation of the game, with screenwriter John August hired to adapt the game for the big screen. American McGee had begun negotiations with Dimension Films 10 months before, with the studio committing to the project before Craven's signing.[6] In September 2001, August explained that he had turned in a script treatment for Alice and was not attached to develop fuller drafts for the film adaptation.[7] In February 2002, Dimension Films signed brother screenwriters Jon and Erich Hoeber to write the screenplay for Alice.[8] In July 2003, the brothers announced that they had completed the script for the film adaptation.[9]



In 2004 the project moved from Dimension Films to 20th Century Fox, but in 2005 Universal Pictures acquired the rights. As of June 2008, producer Scott Faye indicated the film was in "turnaround" from Universal. He admitted that the script needed development, but would be used to attract the attention of a new studio.

I loved it, and you should always expect a macabre aspect to the film when it's a Tim Burton production. Because it is macabre, it's about insanity and murder lol If you look at the old animated version, there and lots of dark colours in that too. Especially in the forest scenes. And i think the girl who played Alice was perfect, she wasn't too "Disney" she was quirky yet pretty.
