Plymouth in WONDERLAND!

Learn how you could be falling down the rabbit hole!

By Matt Holmes /

A casting event is taking place in the British city of Plymouth this week where 250 extra's will be chosen for background parts in Tim Burton's next movie Alice in Wonderland. The live action blended with 3-D motion captured CGI movie will shoot in the city next month for two weeks for "scenes set in Victorian times" The film's casting agents will be at the New Continental Hotel in Plymouth, on Wednesday August 6 and Thursday August 7, between 10am and 6pm, auditioning for paid extras. Mia Wasikowska (Alice) and whomever it is who is playing The Mad Hatter (expected to be Johnny Depp) I would suggest would be there too.

€œWe are looking for people above the age of 16 who have naturally coloured hair... whose work allows the flexibility of two weeks' worth of filming... ...There will be at least 100 crew on-set and it'll be a wonderful experience to be a part of a big movie. It'll be well-paid and hopefully a hugely enjoyable experience".
Rumors abound that filming could be taking place in any of these three locations... Saltram House, "a George II mansion with its original contents, set in an attractive 500 acre parkland on the banks of the River Plym". The location was used in the 1995 adaptation of Sense and Sensibility. Mount Edgcumbe which has "been famous since the 18th Century for its landscape and gardens"...

Royal William Yard, whose seclusion may be an important factor... source - this is plymouth, coming soon
