Shocker: Bonham Carter cast in Wonderland (along with Anne Hathaway)

Thats Right, Tim Burton continues to be totally goddamned predictable when it comes to casting his wife in lead roles. According to The Hollywood Reporter Helena Bonham Carter will be playing the Red Queen in the Disney Digital 3D remake of Lewis Carrol's timeless acid trip for kids. Now, I don't mind her doing it, I think she'll be fine (I really like her, despite my protests to Tim's un-originality)

On the more surprising side, hotass Anne Hathaway will be playing the White Queen, sister to the Red Queen (a sign they are going more with the books than the animated movie), and she will be asking Alice to slay a creature, and I am not sure if this kid safe, the Bandersnatch. Sounds dirty.

The two queens join Johnny Depp (The Mad Hatter), Matt Lucas from Little Britain (Tweedles Dee and Dum), Michael Sheen and Mia Wasikowska (Alice) in the film set to be released in 2010.
