Sabrina Carpenter is headed to the movies. The pop star will lead her first major studio feature with a new musical at Universal Pictures, inspired by Lewis Carroll’s “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland.” Lorene Scafaria is on board to write and direct. Along with starring, Carpenter will produce the untitled project, along with Marc Platt through his Universal-based Marc Platt Productions. Leslie Morgenstein and Elysa Koplovitz Dutton are also producing through Alloy Entertainment. The project comes just a week after Carpenter earned six Grammy nominations for her seventh studio album “Man’s Best Friend,” including album of the year, record of the year and song of the year. Universal’s senior VP or production development Ryan Jones and director of production development Jacqueline Garell are overseeing the project. Katie McNicol will oversee for Marc Platt Productions.
