    NO SHKER THATH JOHNNY IS GOING TO COME Out IN THE NEXT TIM BURTON FILM BUT THATS JUST GREATTTTT NEWSsssssss

    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. They have previously collaborated on 'Edward Scissorhands', 'Ed Wood', 'Sleepy Hollow', 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory', 'Corpse Bride' and 'Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street' Disney produced an animated version of 'Alice in Wonderland' in 1951.

    I agree with the Pan's Labyrinth comment. That would be so great.

    It would be good if they could make it more like Pan's labyrinth, but it will probably end up like the last Tim Burton kids movie. It is with Disney.

    Silent Hill meets Alice would be awesome but it doesn't quite fit Burton's style. Expect to see lots of swirly shapes and big hair!

    I don't care about the movie. This just means hundreds of teenage girls will start acting like they have been reading Lewis Caroll since they were five...
    I hope he stays incredibly true to the source material, lots of bright colors and language that Americans are too dumb to understand.
