Johnny Depp’s eyes are digitally enlarged by about 10% for his role as the Mad Hatter in the new Alice in Wonderland film.
Disney could have saved a bunch of money by hiring Elijah Wood for the role. Wood’s eyes are already at Hatter-size.
Elijah is nearly as good an actor as Depp is too. He had me completely convinced he was a homosexual Hobbit in the Lord of the Rings trilogy!
I love crazy movie rumors and here’s a doozy! According to In Touch magazine, the Farrelly Brothers are hoping to cast Johnny Depp in a new Three Stooges film. Joining Depp as ‘Moe‘ would be fellow thespian, Sean Penn as ‘Larry‘. There has been no casting news for the role of ‘Curley‘, yet.
I know it sounds absurd, but I would personally love to see this happen! If Johnny keeps his mustache, his Moe would look more like vintage Paul McCartney!
I could see someone like Kevin James filling out Curley’s clothes nicely.
I guess if Depp turns down the role, the Farrelly Brothers could always cast Rod Blagojevich? Blago already has ‘Moe Howard’ hair and needs a job. Plus, he loves being on camera; just ask The View, the Today Show, Good Morning America, The Early Show, David Letterman, etc etc.

There’s going to be a double-dose of Depp in movie theatres. The 45 year old actor has signed on for a fourth Pirates of the Caribbean voyage, and a role in The Lone Ranger.
If you think Johnny is playing the masked lead, think again; Depp is playing the Lone Ranger’s sidekick, Tonto! Sounds like someones been drinkin fire-water? (more…)
Film legend and Bruce Wayne’s butler, Michael Cain, is saying that Johnny Depp has been chosen to play The Riddler in the next Batman film. Cain also says Phillip Seymore Hoffman will play The Penguin.
Is this legit, or is the old guy just going senial? Cain then spilled some details,
“I was with [a Warner Bros.] executive and I said, ‘Are we going to make another one?’ They said yeah. I said, ‘How the hell are we going to top Heath? And he says ‘I’ll tell you how you top Heath — Johnny Depp as The Riddler and Philip Seymour Hoffman as The Penguin.’ I said, ‘S–t, they’ve done it again!’” [Laughs]
For all we know, the Warner executive Cain spoke with was really a WB Page? I hope the veterain actor is right though; Depp and hoffman would make great villains!

International movie star Johnny Depp is reported to reunite with his old band The Kids for a two night benefit show.
The concerts will take place at Club Cinema in Pompano Beach, Florida – August 29th and 30th. I wonder if Johnny will break out in any Cry Baby songs?
For being in his mid-40’s, Johnny still seems to be a kid at heart.
Fun fact about the above drawing: A few months back, Johnny and his longtime girlfriend, Vanessa Paradise, were rumored to be getting married; they didn’t get married and I never liked the drawing. I still don’t like the drawing but do to lack of sleep, its on the site!
Hollywood’s longest running bromance will continue if reports are true that Director Tim Burton has cast his muse, Johnny Depp, as the Mad Hatter in the upcoming film Wonderland. This would mark Burton and Depp’s 7th film together.
I think casting Johnny as the ‘Hatter’ is perfect. Depp is great at playing quirky-characters, he like to wear hats, and today just happens to be his un-birthday!
Burton’s other inspiration and domestic partner, Helena Bonham Carter, is rumored to play the Queen of Hearts.
They should get Flavor Flav to be the White Black Rabbit, he always has a clock around his neck!
The drawing above, is what Johnny could look like as the Mad Hatter, but this is a Tim Burton film, so Johnny will probably look more like this: (more…)
There was a near tragedy on the set of Johnny Depp’s latest film ‘Public Enemies’, when a stunt-driver shooting a scene in a 1933 ford car, hit a patch of ice and skidded towards a group of extras.
The Extras had their backs turned and were anawave of the danger hurtling at them. Luckily for them, Johnny Depp was on the scene and jumped into action.
An eye witness told News of the World, ” Depp screamed, ‘Get out of the way!’, and literally slammed into the group with arms outspread, shoving them all back just as the car slammed into the curb a few feet away.”
Who new Johnny had such cat-like reflexes? Maybe, it was those years of practice on ‘21 Jump Street’. Thankfully Johnny was filming a crime-drama and not Edward Scissorhands 2!
