American McGee’s Alice collection, primarily based on Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland books, has had one thing of a bumpy journey through the years: There are two video games, Alice (2000) and Alice: Insanity Returns (2011), with a 3rd at the moment in one thing of a Patreon holding pattern. In an sudden twist, it was right now introduced that the collection is coming to TV, with David Hayter hooked up to put in writing and produce (whose spectacular record of credit consists of X-Males and the sequel, however after all he’ll all the time be Stable Snake’s voice actor first).
“American McGee’s Alice and Alice: Insanity Returns sport collection is a groundbreaking reimagining of the traditional story,” Hayter told The Hollywood Reporter. “It takes you into the center of a corrupted Wonderland and throws mild into shadowy corners the world has by no means seen. I’m past excited to deliver this world of insanity and marvel to a worldwide viewers.”
The collection picks up after Alice returns by means of the looking-glass to search out her home burned-down and fogeys useless. Cheery stuff then, and it solely will get higher as Alice is locked up in a psychological establishment earlier than the white rabbit takes her again to Wonderland. Which I am guessing won’t be all that great.
“David Hayter brings creativeness, expertise, and stealth sneaking expertise gained by means of profitable missions in movie, TV, and video video games,” mentioned American McGee in an announcement, “a singular mixture positive to make this journey into Wonderland a profitable one for the franchise and the followers. I’m excited to be working with him and know the Alice followers will welcome him with mad affection.”
Radar Photos has acquired the rights from Digital Arts, and is partnering with Abandon Leisure for the manufacturing. McGee himself is hooked up to the undertaking in an undefined capability, and in any other case continues to work on Alice: Asylum and Oz: Adventures (primarily based on the L. Frank Baum childrens’ books).
