Johnny Depp is to play the Mad Hatter in a new version of 'Alice in
Wonderland'.
The 'Sleepy Hollow' actor is teaming up with director Tim Burton 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.
Cool
