Aussie actress is Burton's 'Alice'

Mia Wasikowska is in final talks to take the lead role in Tim Burton's Alice In Wonderland, says The Hollywood Reporter.

The Disney film, Burton's adaptation of Lewis Carroll's fantasy novel, will be filmed using a combination of live-action and motion-capture footage and presented in Disney Digital 3-D.

The Lion King writer Linda Woolverton will pen the script with Richard Zanuck, Joe Roth and Jennifer and Suzanne Todd acting as producers.

Wasikowska, who started her career on the Australian series All Saints, can next be seen opposite Daniel Craig in the war film Defiance.

Lindsay Lohan had previously been courting the lead role in the Alice remake.
