Johnny Depp is slated to play the Mad Hatter in Tim Burton's anticipated adaptation of Alice in Wonderland. This latest news was released by Disney and included films planned over the next two years.
Not surprisingly, Burton has cast his actress wife Helena Bonham Carter as the evil Red Queen. Carter has a habit of turning up in her husbands films so this was expected.
Anne Hathaway, who starred in The Devil Wears Prada and The Princess Diaries, plays the White Queen. Hathaway is coming off a difficult year which saw her ex-boyfriend, Raffaello Follieri, arrested for fraud, money laundering and conspiracy. He faces several years in prison.
Young Britain actors Matt Lucus and David Walliams will be appearing as Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee.
Burton's new interpretation of Lewis Carol's fantasy will be in 3D using a combination of live action and performance capture CGI. Mia Wasikowska, an Austrialian actor, will star as Alice. Filming of Alice in Wonderland is currently underway in Cornwall and is scheduled to be released in the Spring of 2010.
