Tim Burton, on the other hand, is out as director with James Bobin at the helm. Linda Woolverton, who wrote the first $1B-grossing film, is writing the screenplay which is being kept under wraps for now. It doesn't appear to be based on any one of Lewis Carroll's novels, just as Burton's film was something of an original. Sacha Baron Cohen is said to be in talks for a villain role, perhaps by the side of the Red Queen herself.
