Alan Cumming and Nia Vardalos to have <I>Neon Dreams</I> (13991)

Nia Vardalos, Alan Cumming, Marilyn Manson, Daryl Hannah, and Jonathan Pryce are joining the cast of the indie feature Living in Neon Dreams, the first feature by writer-director Jeremy Tarr. The film is described as a modern-day retelling of Alice in Wonderland in which a girl enters a fantasy land after a car accident puts her into a coma. The actors will play multiple roles, appearing in both the real world and the fantasy world. Vardalos, who wrote and starred in My Big Fat Greek Wedding and Connie and Carla, will play an aunt and the Duchess. Cumming, who next appears in The Son of the Mask, will play the King of Hearts. Shooting is expected to begin this month in Cape Town, South Africa.
