American Mcgee’s Alice: The movie Reality or Myth

As said in the last article there has been quite a bit of speculation over the creation of a film version of the 2000 video game American Mcgee’s Alice.

Now in 2000 when the game was released Wes craven was signed up to direct the movie. EA the games creators also were in negotiations with Dimension Films, whom also created the like of the Scary Movie series, 10 months before hand.

Everything seemed great, a movie was on the way and this got the fans excited but then, Wes Craven gave in an draft of the adaptaion of the film. Craven didn’t really feel committed to create any fuller drafts.

This was problem number one, called : Where’s our director.

Next to happen was Dimension Film’s were to sign up Jon and Erich Hoeber to write a full script for the adaptation of Alice. By July 2003 it was announced that the script was completed and that the movie was ready to shot.

But then in March 2004 the rights to the films production were moved from Dimension Films to Twentieth centuary Fox. Then in June 2005 the rights were moved again to Universal pictures.

Problem number 2 no consistancy of and actual film company producing it.

Now problem one of the missing director was now solved under Universal pictures. The studio signed director Marcus Nispel to to direct the adaptation.

Now at the present these two problems in the films production seem to have been resolved as Sarah Michelle Gellar the famous actor from Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Scooby-Doo has been signed up as Alice, also with Jean Marsh playing the evil Queen of Hearts.

Alice in the up coming adaptation of American Mcgee’s Alice!!

So at this moment in time it seems the creation of the Alice movie has been stabalised and we may even see it in cinema’s by July of this year which does seem doubtful.

Hopefully we’ll see Alice on the big screen this year!!!
