Johnny Depp is to play the Mad Hatter in a new version of ‘Alice in Wonderland’.
He is teaming up with director Tim Burton once again for the movie, a re-imagining of the classic children’s tale. A source said:
“Tim has had designs on ‘Alice in Wonderland’ since before he was famous.
“He has a knack for turning what seems like stories for just kids into gripping, spooky fables loved just as much by adults.
“He’s held out on doing ‘Alice’ until he got a big enough budget. Now this film is financed by Disney so money won’t be a problem.”
The movie, which is scheduled for release in 2010, will be the seventh time Johnny and Tim have worked together.
They have previously collaborated on ‘Edward Scissorhands’, ‘Ed Wood’, ‘Sleepy Hollow’, ‘Charlie and the Chocolate Factory’, ‘Corpse Bride’ and ‘Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street’.
Australian actress Mia Wasikowska is set to star as Alice.
