Post a CommentDespite what the trailers would have you believe, Alice in Wonderland doesn't really have an ensemble cast. There's one main character and everyone else is supporting. Even Johnny Depp has only about one-third the number of lines as Alice.
The lightning thief's percy Jackson will come out in theathers on Feb. 12,2010.
