Sabrina Carpenter is gearing up to make her feature film debut; the pop star will produce and star in a new musical movie inspired by Alice in Wonderland for Universal Pictures. Inspired by the Lewis Carroll book, the as-yet-untitled film will be written and directed by Lorene Scafaria, best known for directing several episodes of Succession—for which she earned two Emmy nominations—and helming the movies Hustlers and Seeking a Friend for the End of the World as both a director and writer. While plot details are still being kept under wraps and a release date is not yet in sight, Carpenter’s new movie does list Marc Platt as a co-producer, through his company Marc Platt Productions, as well as Alloy Entertainment’s Leslie Morgenstein and Elysa Koplovitz Dutton. On the strength of her new album Man’s Best Friend, which she released this past September, Carpenter scooped up six nominations at the upcoming 2026 Grammy Awards. One of the biggest nods is her nomination for Song of the Year with “Manchild,” marking her second time in the category following last year’s run with “Please Please Please.” As with last time, Carpenter shares the nomination with her co-writer Jack Antonoff.
