It has been confirmed! Johnny Depp has accepted the role of the Mad Hatter in the upcoming “Alice in Wonderland” movie by Tim Burton. Depp and Burton have worked together in “Edward Scissorhands,” “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory,” and “Sweeny Todd.”
Disney formally announced the casting Wednesday at a studio presentation.
The new live-action/CG-animated version of a girl who follows a rabbit and falls into a hole and finds herself in a strange world will be given the Burton touch and packaged for the fans to watch March 5, 2010.
Oooh…I’m so excited to hear about this. It’ll be great, I’m sure! I love Depp…
Me too! I love Depp!!
And millions of people around the world explode from excitement. But seriously, this is awesome news. I can see Depp in this part, and almost everything he and Tim Burton team up to do turns out nicely (Willy Wonka aside…blech).

I agree with you Brent, I wasn’t so happy with Willy Wonka’s re-make. I will always prefer the original.
