The dynamic duo of Johnny Depp and Tim Burton are at it again. The pair that brought new life to classics like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory are teaming up for a re-imagining of Alice in Wonderland, in which Depp will star as the Mad Hatter. Critics are already anticipating another hit from the eccentric director: “He has a knack for turning what seems like stories for just kids into gripping, spooky fables loved just as much by adults. He’s held out on doing ‘Alice’ until he got a big enough budget. Now this film is financed by Disney so money won’t be a problem,” reveals a source. The adaptation, set for release in 2010, will be the seventh collaboration between Depp and Burton who have previously worked together on Edward Scissorhands, Ed Wood, Sleepy Hollow, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Corpse Bride and Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street.
