Mia Wasikowska in Tim Burton’s upcoming Alice in Wonderland
As excitement builds over the cinema release of Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland next month, the spotlight is also on newcomer Mia Wasikowska in the central and title role. As exotic as her surname may sound, Mia is actually from Canberra in Australia, and she’s tipped to be the next big thing.
Mia was a relative unknown in Hollywood until Burton singled her out to play the wide-eyed Alice in his weird and wacky but completely amazing-looking new film. After performing alongside Hollywood heavyweights Johnny Depp, Anne Hathaway and Helena Bonham Carter, Mia is also set to play Jane Eyre in a big screen adaptation of the Charlotte Brontë classic.
Mia is attracted to strong female roles, so expect big things from her in the future.
