Johnny Depp is set for a trip to Wonderland, courtesy of director pal Tim Burton. The actor is to play the Mad Hatter in a new version of "Alice in Wonderland," according to new reports.

The movie, which will hit cinema screens in 2010, will be directed by Burton. It will mark the seventh time he and Depp have worked together.

Their past successes have included Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, Sleepy Hollow and Edward Scissorhands.

*insert joke about Johnny Depp wanting to play Alice since he's the lead in so many of Tim Burton's movies*

I thought it was the next installment of the Batman movies. :lol:

Yeah, I can see that.

I can definitely picture him as the Mad Hatter! I didn't really like him that much in "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory", but then again, I'm a sucker for the original, so anyone in the role would have bothered me. However, this "Alice in Wonderland" version might be fun to watch.
