Johnny Depp is the Modern Mad Hatter

Depp has played some pretty wacky roles in his day, but as the Mad Hatter in Tim Burton’s up-coming Alice and Wonderland film, he may just top himself. The film takes place ten years after Alice first fell down the rabbit hole. The more grown-up heroine is now escaping a very public marriage proposal and, without remembering her childhood adventure, again follows a white rabbit to Wonderland. You can count on Burton to add a fantastical twist to the classic tale and Depp has proved he can handle the wild ride. In his role as Willy Wonka in the remake of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Depp played another zany Burton creation. It has yet to be seen what Depp will do with the over-the-top Mad Hatter, but rest assured this will be a tea party we’ll never forget!
