Woo-ri takes the lead in Alice
by javabeans
The upcoming movie Alice touts itself as a Koreanized Alice in Wonderland tale in the style of Tim Burton, and recently cast Bong Tae-kyu in one of the lead roles. Now the 19-year-old Woo-ri has been cast as the lead character of Mi-no, who is the Alice of this version.
Alice reinterprets the classic story and places it in modern Korea, but with a genre-bending style. The film will boast a cast of unique and quirky characters; leading them is Woo-ri’s character, who is a high school student, and Bong Tae-kyu as a killer. The story gets going amidst haunted ruins, strange presences, and murder.
This is Woo-ri’s first project in three years; she is probably best known for her role in KBS’s Supermom. Directing is Kim Chul-han, who directed the 2009 movie Outlaw starring Kam Woo-sung and Jang Shin-young.
Alice is scheduled to begin filming on September 2.

Ooo, Did I ever seen this actress Woo Ri this before, mm? (thought glares) I don't think so.
I am just wondering that if this actress might be "newbie" to take the lead for Alice in Wonderland, ah, I really enjoyed watching that U.S. movie "Alice in Wonderland" -- gosh, it was so good, heh. =)

never heard of her before. since i have no idea who she is, my first impression on her was 'whoa, she have the look to be alice'. her face was quite unique to my eyes. the more i look the more i think that her face (the shape) is a bit the same with devon aoki (suki role in 2fast and 2furious)

She's not really that new she had just taken a break from acting.
I'm interested in seeing how Korea does Alice. The Alice in Wonderland by Tim Burton in my opinion ended up being lackluster.

Hmm, sounds like it could be interesting but I agree with Jenju, Tim Burton's 'Alice in Wonderland' didn't make much of an impression on me. Johnny Depp was wonderfully strange as usual but the girl playing Alice was a bit... bland.
Can't wait to see the Korean version though :)

if they are giving alice in wonderland a creepy, scary-movie feel, then i am IN!! alice in wonderland has such potential to be a great horror/fantasy tale if done right =]

hey, javabeans, I have a blog post idea/request for you. Do you think you could write up a list on dramas in which the second lead gets the girl? I'd like to watch one of those for a change, but don't know where I could find any...

Tim Burton's 'Alice' wasn't that great. The visual was great and the 1rst half of the movie was good, but the 2nd half of the movie with all the 'war' non-sense wasn't very good.
If Tim Burton had 100% freedom to do whatever he wanted in 'Alice', the movie would be way better, but I guess he had to follow some of Disney guidelines for that project. :( So the movie 'Alice' ended being lackluster in my opinion.
Korea has a lot of talented directors and screenwritters that are able to make new and original korean movie, tv series, etc. I think it's a waste of korean talent to waste time making 'korean versions' of american movies, books and tv series. :/

Woo Ri played the role Kang Eun Gi in the drama Supermom (2007) and she's kinda quiet about her personal life so it's pretty hard to know things about her !
