EXCLUSIVE: Amazon MGM Studios has an animated Mad Hatter movie in the works from Clerks producer and actor Scott Mosier, who is set to adapt.
Plot details are under wraps. The Mad Hatter is the strange top-hat-wearing guy who Alice runs into in Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland. He holds a tea party with the March Hare and the Dormouse.
Adam Nagle is producing the movie through Aniventure. Negotiations, we understand, were led by Aniventure Chief Content Officer Joe Della Rosa and Frankfurt Kernit’s Sasha Levites and Adam Macy.
Mosier co-wrote and produced the 2013 animated movie Free Birds and voiced Pizza Dude. He also co-directed Illumination’s 2018 animated feature take of Dr. Seuss’ The Grinch, which made over $500 million at the global box office.
Mosier acted in Kevin Smith’s entire Clerks franchise and produced several Smith movies, and provided voices for Sing 2, The Secret Life of Pets II and The Grinch. He is repped by WME, Untitled Entertainment and Sloss Eckhouse Dasti Haynes Loco.
Established in 2014, Aniventure has developed, produced and distributed films and series with several studios including Amazon, Netflix, Paramount, and Sony.
