For this re-imagined adaptation, writer/director Nick Willing mines the
bizarre ingenuity and twisted logic of Carroll's work to create a
daringly different, boldly colorful and delightfully skewed dreamscape
of his own. Willing also directed the record-breaking, Emmy-winning
miniseries Tin Man for Syfy in 2007. Serving as Executive Producers for
this ambitious new event are Matthew O'Connor and Lisa Richardson from
Reunion Pictures, Jamie Brown from Studio Eight and RHI Entertainment's
Robert Halmi, Sr. and Robert Halmi, Jr.
Using the classic Lewis Carroll books Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass as a jumping off point, writer/director Nick Willing has created the modern-day story of Alice Hamilton, a fiercely independent twenty-something who suddenly finds herself on the other side of a looking glass. She is a stranger in an outlandish city of twisted towers and casinos built out of playing cards, all under the rule of a deliciously devilish Queen who's not very happy about Alice's arrival.
