Johnny Depp as The Mad Hatter

Tim Burton’s golden goose Johnny Depp will be laying another shiny egg for the visionary director, this time portraying the Mad Hatter in Burton’s 3-D adaptation of the Alice in Wonderland story, which will star Australian actress Mia Wasikowska in the lead role.

Check out the past collaborations between Burton and Depp:
Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
Corpse Bride
Sleepy Hollow
Ed Wood
Edward Scissorhands

Then, there’s that amusing suggestion that Depp could play Pee-Wee Herman in a remake of Burton’s classic Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure. Take that with a grain of salt.
