Matt Lucas Playing Tweedle-Dee and Tweedle-Dum in Alice in Wonderland

Source:  BBC
Matt Lucas is about to take on two big characters all by himself. According to BBC's Friday Night with Jonathan Ross, Matt Lucas revealed on the program that he has been cast in Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland, playing both Tweedle-Dee and Tweedle-Dum.

Lucas will portray both characters, twin brothers who never contradict each other, in the modern adaptation of Lewis Carrol's story. Lucas has previously appeared in the Brit hit Shaun of the Dead and the TV series Little Britain.

Alice in Wonderland is currently in pre-production and slated for a March 5, 2010 release.

Tim Curry, Mr. Duke? All I can picture Curry saying is "Oh yes, they float alright. And when you're down here, you'll. Float. Too!!!!!" LOOL!

This is really cool casting. I think the video game version of Alice got stopped a long time ago. At one point Sarah Michelle Gellar was going to play Alice.

Matt Lucas is a comic genius!!! Over the years he had bit parts in t.V shows, but his best had to be the big baby drummer who keep the scores on "shooting stars".

But now he and Matt Walliams have had there own show for a number of years in the U.K called "Little Britain", it's fucking hilarious!! They have just finished a season for the states on NBC i think. Think it started the other night.

Fucking super funny shit!

Cool.

I'm surprised that this is being made before Alice (The dark video game). Whatever happened to that project?
