Negotiations with EA are still ongoing, but even while the future of the third installment in the Alice franchise remains uncertain, Spicy Horse is confident enough to host a cosplay contest; whoever wins the contest gets to star in the Kickstarter video for Alice: Otherlands.
Cosplay, for those who don’t know, means that participants dress up as a character from a work of fiction, and (in some cases) play out the role. For this particular contest, Spicy Horse asks the fans to dress up as Alice Liddell, preferably in her classic outfit, and send in a picture. The trailer will be shot in Shanghai at a yet undetermined date, sometime in June 2013, so whoever the lucky winner may be, she will have to be able to travel there.
Spicy Horse also stresses that this doesn’t mean the project will definitely happen. Since EA holds the rights to the Alice franchise, they can still pull the plug at any time, which would mean both the Kickstarter and this project would have to be cancelled.
For those of you interested in observing this contest from a distance, the pictures that have already been sent in can be viewed on the Alice: Otherlands Facebook page.
