Crispin Glover has joined the cast of Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland, taking on the role of The Knave Of Hearts.

The Beowulf actor will appear along with stars such as Mia Wasikowska, Johnny Depp, Anne Hathaway and Helena Bonham Carter in the Disney adaptation of the Lewis Carroll tale.

British actors Michael Sheen and Matt Lucas have already signed up for the movie, part of which is being filmed in Plymouth.

In the novel, Glover's character is put on trial for stealing The Queen Of Hearts's tarts, however, Alice (Wasikowska) comes to his defence.

Burton is using a combination of live action and performance-capture technology in his adaptation, says The Hollywood Reporter. The movie is scheduled for release in 2010.
