New photos from the set of Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland were just released! Check out Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter, Anne Hathaway as the White Queen, Helena Bonham Carter as the Red Queen and Mia Wasikowska as Alice.
I see many silly comments at YouTube. I don't mean to read them but they are right there under a video I'm interested in and inevitably I read one or two, can't believe people are saying such idiotic things and then read a couple more hoping to find an intelligent or simply not-moronic statement of some sort. It rarely happens.
Today as I was happily nicking code for Tim Burton's latest effort-in-the-works, Alice In Wonderland, which so far, based on these publicity stills, I know stars Johnny Depp, Anne Hathaway and Helena Bonham Carter, when I saw a question/comment that I almost answered and then came to my senses realizing that I'd probably just get flamed.
The question was, "Why does Tim Burton repeatedly cast (the words were "always cast") Depp and Bonham Carter in his films?"
Hmm. That's a toughie. Johnny Depp is one of the hottest male movie stars in the world. Burton is very familiar with him. They like and respect one another as people and for their work ( they both stated this when queried by a reporter when they were doing publicity for their last collaboration, Sweeney Todd). Why wouldn't Burton cast Depp as the Mad Hatter?
As for Ms.Bonham Carter, who is one of my favourites as well, she's versatile, seems up for anything, does quirky or just plain odd really well and oh, she's borne several of Burton's children. Maybe he likes her work and enjoys working with her? Just a guess.
