KEY POINTS:
Lindsay Lohan is desperate to star as Alice in Tim Burton's remake of Alice in Wonderland.
The actress is hoping to convince director Tim Burton to cast her in the hotly-anticipated version of Lewis Carroll's classic children's tale.
Lindsay said: "I just hope they don't want an unknown, I really want this part."
The new Disney production will feature both live action and performance-capture animation to create the fantasy world.
Although it is a daunting task, Burton believes he is ready to take on the challenge.
He said: "It's just such a classic, and the imagery is so surreal. I don't know - I've never seen a version where I feel like they got it all. It's a series of weird adventures, and to try to do it where it works as a movie will be interesting.
"The stories are like drugs for children, you know? It's like, 'Whoa, man.' I think it's an interesting challenge to direct."
Alice in Wonderland follows the story of a young girl who enters a bizarre fantasy world after following a white rabbit down a hole. She then encounters a series of wondrous characters, including the Mad Hatter and the Queen of Hearts.
