Crispin Glover (best known as Grendel in Beowulf) has signed on to play the Knave of Hearts in Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland remake.

Glover joins a cast that already includes Mia Wasikowska and Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter; Anne Hathaway and Helena Bonham Carter are also signed on for the project.

In Alice in Wonderland, the character of the Knave of Hearts is put on trial for stealing the Queen of Hearts' tarts and is defended by Alice.
