Getting Into Character: Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter?

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Disney, Adaptation, Family, Casting, Rumors

Johnny Depp

Given all the characters we’ve seen take on, is the Mad Hatter really a stretch?

Although the circumstances behind this image have not yet been confirmed, it’s believed this picture is of the 45-year-old on the set. Since the Tim Burton film will be incorporating live action and performance-capture technology a la Beowulf, it’s not clear how this costume may fit into the Lewis Carroll update.

The 2010 release also features Mia Wasikowska (Alice), Helena Bonham Carter (the Red Queen), (the White Queen), Michael Sheen (the Cheshire Cat) and Crispin Glover (the Knave of Hearts).

Although Fiona Bonham Carter (the actress’ cousin) survived the accident, her 14-year-old son, mother, stepfather and sister-in-law were all killed. Fiona’s 16-year-old son and brother also survived.

Helena and boyfriend are both said to be traveling to Britain to support the family.
