The 14-year-old Secret Of Moonacre star told DS: "I've always been quite interested in Alice In Wonderland because it's such a crazy story."
Richards had hoped to audition for Tim Burton's new Alice In Wonderland adaptation, but the storyline required an older actress for a love story with Johnny Depp's Mad Hatter character. The role of Alice eventually went to 18-year-old Mia Wasikowska.
Richards said: "I was going to see if I could audition for that, but I heard that he wanted someone that was an adult because there's a falling in love with the Mad Hatter thing.
"I don't know if I'm giving the story away, which I probably shouldn't! I would be too young to audition for it, which is a shame because it would've been really fun. Especially Tim Burton, I love his films."
The Secret Of Moonacre was released in cinemas yesterday.
