Fushigi no Kuni de Alice to -Dive in Wonderland-, a P.A.WORKS-produced anime film inspired by Lewis Carroll‘s classic Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, will premiere in Japanese theaters on August 29 JST.
Toshiya Shinohara (NagiAsu: A Lull in the Sea, The Aquatope on White Sand) is directing the movie, which sees modern day girl Rise (Nanoka Hara) encountering Maika Pugh‘s titular Alice. The script is written by Yuko Kakihara (Blue Box series composer).
A teaser trailer and super teaser visual have been released.
Carroll’s 1865 book has inspired many adaptations in the past, including the 1951 Disney animated movie Alice in Wonderland. The synopsis for the 2015 hardcover edition from Puffin Books reads:
It’s been 150 years since Lewis Carroll introduced Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, the story which has become a favorite of children and adults the world over. Now, in a deluxe hardcover edition from Puffin, Alice’s story comes to life for a whole new generation of readers through the colorful, whimsical artwork of Anna Bond, best known as the creative director and artistic inspiration behind the worldwide stationery and gift brand Rifle Paper Co. Lose yourself in Alice’s story as she tumbles down the rabbit hole, swims through her own pool of tears, and finds herself in a rather curious place called Wonderland. There, she’ll encounter the frantic White Rabbit, have a frustrating conversation with an eccentric caterpillar, and play croquet with the hot-headed Queen of Hearts. Follow Alice on her wild adventure through the eyes of the artist in this definitive gift edition.
