Depp is Burton’s 3-D Mad Hatter (?)

Digital Spy has the morning tea party news:

Tim Burton has reportedly signed Johnny Depp for his forthcoming Alice In Wonderland adaptation. The film, which will be presented in Disney Digital 3-D, will feature Depp as The Mad Hatter, according to The Sun. A source commented: “Tim has had designs on Alice In Wonderland since before he was famous.

Can the news of Helena Bonham Carter as The Queen of Hearts be far behind? Through the looking glass in 3-D sounds like an 8-dollar 90-minute acid-trip. In a good way.¬†¬†Does this void Nolan’s Mad Hatter?
