Alice Through the Looking Glass

Alice Through the Looking Glass is the upcoming sequel to the 2010 film Alice in Wonderland.

Most of the crew and cast of the first film returned to the sequel, most notably screenwriter Linda Woolverton, producers Joe Roth, Jennifer Todd and Suzanne Todd, costumer designer Colleen Atwood and composer Danny Elfman. Tim Burton, who directed the first film, returned this time as a producer, and James Bobin will direct. Both Johnny Depp and Mia Wasikowska returned to their roles, and Sacha Baron Cohen joined the cast as Time.

The film is set to be released theatrically on May 27, 2016.

Plot
Alice Kingsleigh has spent the past three years following in her father's footsteps and sailing the high seas. Upon her return to London from Asia, she comes across a difficult decision that may determine what she's going to do during the rest of her life. After re-encountering Absolem, she finds a magical looking glass and returns to the nonsensical realm of Underland.

She discovers that things are going very wrong with the Hatter, who is now acting madder than usual, haunted by past events that he refuses to reveal. In order to prevent a heartbreaking end to her friend, she turns to Time himself. Despite his warnings about she not being able to win a race against time, and not being able to change the past, Alice borrows the Chronosphere, a time device that everyone - including the now banished Red Queen - wants, and winds up returning to the past.

As she witnesses the hits and misses of friends (and enemies) during their lives, discovering how it prompted them to their current states in the present, Alice may learn how to solve not only the problem with the Hatter, but her own back in London - but only if she can win the race against the ticking Chronosphere.
