If ever there was an actor built for a Tim Burton movie not named Johnny Depp, his name is Crispin Glover. The eccentric actor/artist/filmmaker has finally been cast in his first Burton film with ALICE IN WONDERLAND. Why it took the two mavericks so long to collaborate is beyond me but with Glover set to play The Knave of Hearts in Burton's re-telling of the classic children's tale, millions of eccentrics are rejoicing world over.

In the story, the Knave of Hearts is put on trial for stealing the Queen of Hearts' tarts and is defended by Alice, who is being played by newcomer Mia Wasikowska. Other cast members include Johnny Depp, Anne Hathaway and Helena Bonham Carter.

The man is perfect for the Burton players. Why has it taken so long for him to join the ride?

WTF
Does Crispin Glover ever freakin age?! He looks exactly like he did when he played George Mcfly!

Good Genes OR Good Docs? Let The Schmoes Decide!

Glover fits a Burton movie, but I'm still upset over the extremely obvious casting of Depp and Bonham Carter. Forgone conclusions, those.

Also, I thought this film would be Burton's take on the original (ok, the Disney) story. I was looking forward to that, but this might be cool.

Also, -10 points for using the word "maverick". Getting real tired of hearing that on...

I wonder why him and Burton haven't gotten together earlier.

That skyrockets Alice in Wonderland to my Must-See list of 2009. Or whenever it gets released.

Wow, considering the styles of these 2, you'd think they'd have collaborated some how way earlier than this. Awesome to hear though, Glover fits beautifully in a picture like the upcoming Alice movie.

This is the best news I've heard in a long time. Crispin Glover is a genius and is grossly underused in Hollywood. Now I'm really excited for this movie!
