Tim Burton, along with the rest of America, seems to have a huge guy crush on Johnny Depp. Pictured above is a preview of Johnny Depp as The Mad Hatter from Tim Burton’s production of Alice in Wonderland. Seriously, Tim Burton has featured Johnny Depp in almost every movie he’s made in the last 4 years. The Corpse Bride, Sweeney Todd, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and now Alice in Wonderland. Bffs much?

“The traditional tale has been freshened with a blast of girl power, courtesy of writer Linda Woolverton (Beauty and the Beast). Alice, 17, attends a party at a Victorian estate only to find she is about to be proposed to in front of hundreds of snooty society types. Off she runs, following a white rabbit into a hole and ending up in Wonderland, a place she visited 10 years before yet doesn’t remember.
Among those who welcome her back is the Mad Hatter, a part tailor-made for Johnny Depp as he collaborates with Burton for the seventh time. “This character is off his rocker,” Zanuck says.”
The movie is set to be released March 5, 2010. I hope it’s a musical. I absolutely love musicals. My stars!
