Alice in Wonderland is one of my favorite stories ever, and adding Depp to it should just be...

Is it the same movie as this?

Or are there 2 new Alice in Wonderland movies?

Well, we can't act like it doesn't exist, and it is a legitimate classic of the genre. When Craven directed New Nightmare, he wanted to ask him to make a cameo in it, but by that time (1994) Depp was an established Hollywood star. He assumed Depp would turn his nose up at it. When Depp found out - after the film had been released - he said he gladly would have made the cameo if he'd known.

I'm fucking giddy about the whole project!

I won't lie, I do have a soft spot for the original Disney rendition, but like so many stories over the years, the Disneyfication of Alice did the whole mood and theme of the story a disservice. They're just not capable of the weirdness and darkness Wonderland deserves. I trust Burton'll do a good job, given how he improved on Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. (Nostalgia alone is not reason enough to call the old movie better than the new. Roald Dahl hated it. Shouldn't that tell you something about how well it was done?)

As for Depp and Burton, who wants to send out the wedding invitations?

yummmmmy

My thoughts exactly.

Same old thing, over and over and over. They really should've had him in 'Cat In The Hat' too. Hell, why not cast him as the Joker.

I am actually quite well, thanks. This is what we like to call 'vocal'. The fact I do not agree with you and that i suse the word 'fucking' alot does not mean I am in a foul mood.

I hope this is a more darker take on the whole Alice in Wonderland. I don't really dig kids movies anymore. And Johnny does really need to stop doing silly roles like these...at least for a few years. The last "normal" role I saw him in was Once Upon a Time in Mexico...and even in that he still has all his quirky traits from Pirates etc

I really hope there will be no singing in it

I think he should be the mad hatter, WITHOUT a hat!

are people really annoyed that Johnny Depp played quirky, weird characters?

IDK, in my world thats a good thing. Shows he's got range and is a good character actor, not just a pretty face.
I love that he takes mostly unconventional parts

Fauxie said:

I actually think he would make the perfect replacement for Heath as the joker, lookswise and acting wise. Immediately I thought of Johnny when I thought of a replacement.

It's not range if they're all quirky, weird characters.

thekidsgirl said:

But NOT if that's the only thing he does.

Everybody on this thread -

CHANGE PLACES!

Fauxie said:

but they're all really different from each other
I mean c'mon Sweeney Tood is completely different from Willy Wonka

I can sing along the following song to almost every role of the last 7 years;

HamsterHuey said:

Damn well if thats how you feel

thekidsgirl said:

Damn, I hum that tune whenever I see Captain Jack or his Willy Wonka.

I must admit that I do like the dark edge he gives to children character.

He needs to change up already, go in a different direction. He's THE quirky character dude right now, how boring
