OMG! Helena Bonham Carter was born to play The Queen of Hearts. She is so freaky-scary-enthralling. Scene stealing, anyone? She just may de-focus all the attention that has been lavished upon Johnny Depp by the media for his part as the Mad Hatter. I'm sure, reticent as he is about the glare of the spotlight, he would not at all mind.
(Above) "Did you steal my tarts?" - Queen of Hearts Johnny Depp's Mad Hatter crashes hit own party.At this moment, Johnny Depp is shooting his new thriller "The Tourist" with Angelina Jolie in Venice, Italy. On Friday, however, he'll find himself in London for the Royal Premiere of "Alice in Wonderland."
The expected blockbuster finds Depp reuniting for the...seventh time with director Tim Burton. Speaking at a press conference for "Alice" this past weekend, Depp talked about how much pressure he puts on himself to get his performance right. Whether it's Ed Wood, Edward Scissorhands or Willy Wonka, the superstar clearly doesn't want to disappoint his good friend and director.
"The initial thing for me is to come up with a character, but there is a certain amount of pressure where you go, 'Jesus, is this the one where I disappoint him?' [I try to come up] something he hasn't experienced before and that would stimulate and make him inspire him to make choices based on that character," Depp says. "I try not to embarrass him basically."
..."Alice" opens in theaters on March 5. In the meantime, Depp appears as the quirky and emotionally unstable Mad Hatter in one of these new clips from the film... What moviegoers might find even more entertaining is Helena Bonham Carter's royally inspired and scene-stealing turn as The Queen of Hearts...in her own clip above.See my previous post for a scene in which Alice (Mia Wasikowska) meets the Red Queen just as she's lost--and gained something very important.
