It's a busy time for Tinseltown:

Disney has formally announced today that the Mad Hatter in
Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland movie
will be played by Johnny Depp (of course!). The Hollywood Reporter has the scoop:
Depp and Burton. .

This new documentary from the Oscar-winning director of
Taxi to the Dark Side takes a look at the life and times of Hunter S. Thompson. Johnny Depp, who portrayed Thompson in the 1998 film
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas narrates the story which aims to show how Thompson's unconventional lifestyle and worldview led to the invention of
gonzo journalism.

Rumor has it today that we'll be getting more spooky, dark delight from the brilliantly talented duo Tim Burton and Johnny Depp. Depp is reportedly
producing and possibly starring as Barnabas Collins in a film adaptation of the 1960s "daytime supernatural soap opera" Dark Shadows. Tim Burton is attached to direct and screenwriter John August (a frequent Burton collaborator) will be brought in to write the script.
