Lindsay Lohan is desperate to star in a new adaptation 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.
