Christ that sounds tedious. Is there really no other actor and director to do these kinds of films?

he can just grab his hat and jacket from the Willie Wonka movie

The first, sure, but the second and third didn't really come over as children movies to me anymore. :hmm:

His kids got older.

When I read the thread title, I was hoping it meant he would playing The Mad Hatter in the next Batman movie. Nuts.

[Aeson]

Perhaps it's a prequel?

yes, it's all for the kids...

Tim Burton + Alice in Wonderland would be like being stoned for the first time.

But animated? Damn. Real would have been better.

Of all the Hollywood actors to think about money, Depp is probably the last. He did nothing but non mainstream films most of his career, and in fact destroyed much of his career because he didn't want to become "a product".

[FrostyBoy]

He didn't become a "product" because he is smart.

and the move is bound to be better with just him in it... if they can only get a good director it will be better than #2, and surely better than #3...

Well, who's going to play the Lone Ranger and Alice?

Hey! I know! Orlando Bloom and Kiera Knightley.

I'm in mixed minds about Burton's films. Some of them are really really good, but others just seem awash in too much whimsy to really appeal to me.

No being able to gawk at Kiera is a big loss but the real question is will the Fourth movie have Keith Richards as Jack Sparrow's dad?
