Sabrina Carpenter looks set to swap her signature Espresso for tea - with the Mad Hatter.

The US pop star is going back to her acting roots with plans to star in and produce a musical movie inspired by Alice in Wonderland, BBC Newsbeat understands.

The unnamed project is being made for Universal Pictures and will be written and directed by US filmmaker Lorene Scafaria.

It's not clear who Carpenter will play in the adaptation or when it will go into production.

If it goes ahead, it will be Carpenter's first time leading a major studio film.
