If there’s one thing I’m just not buying into yet about Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland, it has to be the actor I was certain I’d be the most confident about: Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter. Don’t get me wrong: he looks mad, indeed. But his character design is so off-putting it might take me a while to warm up to him.
Which begs the question — how closely will Burton stick to the pacing of the original book or Disney film? Will we linger with Depp for a while, or will his appearance essentially equate to ten minutes of screentime before moving on to the next spectacle?
Regardless, here’s the third and final character poster for Alice in Wonderland, which is due on March 5, 2010.
