Lindsay Lohan is desperate to star as Alice in Tim Burton's remake of 'Alice in Wonderland'.

(BANG) -

Lindsay Lohan is desperate to star in a new adaptation of 'Alice in Wonderland'.

The actress is hoping to convince director Tim Burton to cast her in the hotly-anticipated version of Lewis Carroll's classic children's tale.

Lindsay said: "I just hope they don't want an unknown, I really want this part."

The new Disney production will feature both live action and performance-capture animation to create the fantasy world.

Although it is a daunting task, Burton believes he is ready to take on the challenge.

He said: "It's just such a classic, and the imagery is so surreal. I don't know - I've never seen a version where I feel like they got it all. It's a series of weird adventures, and to try to do it where it works as a movie will be interesting.

"The stories are like drugs for children, you know? It's like, 'Whoa, man.' I think it's an interesting challenge to direct."

'Alice in Wonderland' follows the story of a young girl who enters a bizarre fantasy world after following a white rabbit down a hole. She then encounters a series of wondrous characters, including the Mad Hatter and the Queen of Hearts.

The film will bomb if she's in it.

[Bijoux]

I don't think Alice should be blonde for a Tim Burton film.

I hope Zoey Dechanel does it. That'd be AWESOME!

The lovely La Lohan would be fantastic in this part and working with Tim Burton would most likely be fantastic. Good work, Grimm! Let's keep hoping for our girl!

[NicoleWasHere]

She might be good at it, but that doesn't mean the movie won't bomb. Pretty much anything with Lohan's been failing miserably, lately.

[Grimmlok]

She would be shit for that part, and especially shit in a Tim Burton movie. Bleh. She's the epitome of bleach blond, chainsmoking, boozer california cougar..

Who would be good? Probably Christina Ricci.

[WhateverLolaWants]

Can't she play the red queen?

[buttmunch]

Ricci is so flaming obvious for the role, or at least the actress she was a few years ago. Now she looks odd and seems to have dieted her talent away.

You know the lovely La Lohan would be perfect for this. She'd have the edgy Alice thing down pat, which is probably how Burton will film it.

[Bijoux]

Tim Burton would never agree to work with Lindsay.

Ever!

[Dixie Normos]

Puh-LEASE LiLo, it's a Burton film....Helena will play Alice.

[Just Kill Me]

Christina Ricci may be good but watch it end up being Evan Rachel Wood.

She would be good in that part I'm sure, but I think either Asia Argento or Chloe Sevigny would be great too.

And I seriously doubt Tim would ever want to work with Lilo.

I actually agree with you, I think she'd do well with this role, provided she can keep her nose clean for that long.

Butt, your obsession with LacacaHohan is kind of creepy. o_o;

[buttmunch]

Not obsession, appreciation. And I don't agree taht Burton wouldn't work with her. I also think Helena might be slightly long in the tooth for the part, along with Chloe. Yup, the lovely La Lohan is perfect and I look forward to this film.
