Remember 2000’s American McGee’s Alice? It was a third-person action-adventure video game developed by Rogue Entertainment under the direction of designer American McGee and published by EA for PC, PS3, and Xbox 360. It later received a sequel in the form of Alice Madness Returns in 2011.

According to a report from The Hollywood Reporter, Ted Field’s Radar Pictures has grabbed the rights to American McGee’s Alice, and David Hayter is attached to do a TV adaptation in partnership with Abandon Entertainment.

Yes, that David Hayter. The voice of Solid Snake and Naked Snake in the Metal Gear franchise. He’s actually also best known for co-writing the 2000 X-Men movie, 2009’s Watchmen, and more.

In a statement, Hayter said:

“American McGee’s Alice and Alice: Madness Returns game series is a groundbreaking reimagining of the classic tale. It takes you into the heart of a corrupted Wonderland and throws light into shadowy corners the world has never seen. I am beyond excited to bring this world of madness and wonder to a global audience.”

The TV adaptation will begin after Alice returns from the trip to the Looking-Glass, her house is burnt down and her parents have died in the fire. Alice is the only survivor of the terrible accident. After repeated attempts at suicide, she gets locked up inside a mental institution and is slowly wasting away there before she is summoned to Wonderland again by the White Rabbit.

But this time it’s a Wonderland gone seriously bad and gory. The only chance for Alice to restore her peace of mind and find out more about the death of her parents is to fight through Wonderland and free it from the evil powers.

In a statement, American McGee said:

“David Hayter brings imagination, experience, and stealth sneaking skills gained through successful missions in film, TV, and video games – a unique combination sure to make this adventure into Wonderland a successful one for the franchise and the fans.

I am excited to be working with him and know the Alice fans will welcome him with mad affection.”

There are currently no details yet on when it will be released.
