Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter?
August 11, 2008 by Jane Boursaw
Entertainment Weekly is reporting that Johnny Depp might play the Mad Hatter in Tim Burton’s remake of the classic Alice in Wonderland 3-D, scheduled for a 2010 release. Sounds like a casting coup to me.
EW’s source reveals that the film will be live-action until Alice (played by Mia Wasikowska of HBO’s In Treatment) falls down the rabbit hole and meets the loopy tea party host.
I wonder if Depp will don the Hatter outfit, or if he’ll just lend his voice to a computer-generated character. Seems like a waste of good Depp-karma if they just use his voice, doesn’t it?
Neither Disney nor Depp are confirming the rumor, but let’s hope it’s true.
