Emilia Clarke, Gerard Butler, and Simone Ashley have officially signed on for the leading roles in the upcoming animated musical The Night Before Christmas in Wonderland, which hails from Universal Pictures. Clarke is set to lend her voice to the Queen of Hearts, while Butler and Ashley will play the respective roles of St. Nick and Alice. It’s a mash between Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland and Clement Clarke Moore’s poem Twas the Night Before Christmas.
“The film is full of fun and festive twists,” reads the synopsis (via Variety). “This time, it’s St Nick’s turn for an adventure down the rabbit hole. There he meets the Mad Hatter, recast as a high-fashion, reindeer-loving tea party host; the White Rabbit, an endearingly scatty and forgetful character; the Queen of Hearts, a Scrooge-esque tinsel-hater, her antagonistic sidekick, the Cheshire Cat and Alice herself, whose kindness helps St. Nick save Christmas.”
