Depp To Join Alice In Wonderland?

Tim Burton is reportedly lending his take on the classic Lewis Carroll fairy tale Alice In Wonderland, but with a 3-D twist. Alice in Wonderland 3-D (clever title, isn’t it?) is set to release in 2010 via Disney and none other than Johnny Depp might be joining the production. A very “well-informed source” of Entertainment Weekly is confirming that Tim is very interested in getting Johnny to play the Mad Hatter. The source also reveals to EW that the film will be live action until Alice (played by Mia Wasikowska of HBO’s In Treatment) jumps down the rabbit hole and meets the loopy tea party host. Sounds fascinating. Burton and Depp have teamed up for quite a few movies, including Edward Scissorhands and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, so this is almost a no-brainer for them. Reps from both Disney and Depp have yet to confirm, but let’s hope it’s coming soon. Can Johnny pull off the Mad Hatter? No one in Hollywood is better suited!
