The film’s story centers on Rise, a modern-day girl who somehow stumbles into Wonderland and meets Alice.
The film will open on August 29.
The cast includes:
Toshiya Shinohara (Black Butler, A Lull in the Sea, The aquatope on white sand) is directing the film at P.A. Works. YÅ«ko Kakihara (Blue Box, Urusei Yatsura 2022, The aquatope on white sand) is penning the script. Shochiku and TBS are listed as production coordinators.
Other staff members include:
Lewis Carroll‘s Alice in Wonderland book centers on a girl named Alice, who one day follows a talking white rabbit into a rabbit hole, and ends up in a strange Wonderland where she has surreal encounters with its mercurial rules and denizens. The book has become one of the most referenced works of literature in pop culture, with elements and motifs appearing in virtually every medium, including anime, manga, and video games.
The book previously inspired Nippon Animation and Apollo Film‘s 1983-1984 television anime adaptation.
