Johnny Depp As Mad Hatter

By Doug - November 17, 2008 - 13:07 America/Montreal

Thanks to the good people over at comingsoon it looks like we have a first look of Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter. Check it out -

Mad Hatter

I like this look. He looks like a crazy man with a fantastic hat and ridiculous clothes. I think a character like this should be the opposite of subdued, and we have ourselves here a hatter that’s outlandish.

Thank you to the Live Show chat friends for making me aware of this!

    *smacks head against table*

  5. aaron g says:

    YES! edward scissorhands pt. 37 has edward sporting red hair this time. good to see burton step outside his comfort zone.

  6. finaljoe says:

    Jesus Christ! He looks like Carrot Top.

  7. Broly says:

    Fear and Loathing 2

  8. Anthony T says:

    Johnny Depp and Tim Burton I think are outgrowing each other in both style and content. Burton’s works are continually getting worse and unoriginal, while Depp is still clinging to the Pirates fortune.

  9. JOHN says:

    I THINK THAT HE’S GONNA BE GOOD. HE AND TIM BURTON ALWAYS HAVE MOVIES TOGETHER. SO, YEAH. HE’LL BE PRETTY SCRAY TOO. WHENEVER HE GETS THAT DARK MAKEUP ON HE’S SCARY.

  10. Woa, now there’s a Scissorhands flashback if I ever saw one. Anyway, if I were to judge the new hatter from this lone photo alone, a thing I after several similar goofups I promised myself I’d never do, but I never learn anyway, he doesn’t look all that constantly raving mad (as a hatter) as I’ve always considered the hatter to be. Could be he’s just a bit more explosively weird though, or that we’ve caught him in an odd normal(ish) seeming moment there.

  11. leeloo says:

    awesome.
    he looks like i o.d.’d

  12. oldshell says:

    Oh look, the costume looks the same as every other tim burton film. What a shock!

  13. Vito says:

    Jesus, Burton…

    He really needs stop. It’s just silly now. He’s becoming an unoriginal hack.

  14. Jason Angel says:

    his hat loox even more, mad, than mine!

  15. Dragonslayer says:

    WOAH!…That scared the bejesus outta me when I saw that photo

  16. Gareth says:

    christ he looks like Dani Filth from Cradle of Filth

  17. HAZMAT says:

    women….LIKE this guy?

  18. It’s gotta be a fake, for one reason…

    HIS CHARACTER IS MOCAPPED IN THE FILM! When Alice goes through the rabbit hole, the film will go into Motion Capture, similar to that of Beowulf. It’s gotta be a fake…

  19. Aaroneff says:

    If this is seriously how the mad hatter looks in the film, I might just cry. I really hate how Burton gets away with blatantly pandering to the hot topic crowd with this type of bullshit. I can’t believe this man is being allowed to rape one of my childhood favorite books.

  20. ESMI says:

    HE IS SOOOOOO FREAKIN’ HOT!!!! I’LL STILL TAP THAT!!!!!
    THE BUNNY GIVES HIM A SENSITIVE SIDE!!!!!!
    I CAN’T WAIT TILL THIS MOVIE COMES OUT……..I<3 MR.DEPP.
    TIM BURTON IS MY FAV. DIRECTOR!!!!!

  22. dani says:

    It’s like a cross between Edward Scissorhands and Willy Wonka and Jack Sparrow…

  23. Dragonslayer says:

    Even though I wasn’t the biggest fan of Edward Scissorhands, I like Johnny Depp as an actor.

    I wonder if they’re considering him to be Joker in the next Batman if the story calls for the Joker

  24. Party Marty says:

    This pic is on the front of some local newspapers here in the Plymouth area. Just because some extra work was filmed here they treat the film like its local news.

  25. Sabs says:

    Well.

    That is most definitely Tim Burton for you.

    [Though my suspicions that this is a fake are definitely rising.]

  26. Anti-Septic says:

    Why is Captain Jack Sparrow spaced out on Meth?

  27. Astera says:

    Well… When I saw it I thought he looks like a mix of Sweeney and Willy W. ( it’s no wonder- the same director, the same make-up)) Of course I mean apperance/
    But it makes me joy! Really, I like J.D. in all images! He looks like a real Mad Hatter in original book ( in my imagination he’s the same!)

  28. Al Kaselzer says:

    he looks like liberace in drag

  29. Audiofase says:

    That is the most ridiculous thing ever… I am not going to be seeing this movie if the mad hatter looks like a women who has been strung out on PCP for three weeks… Jeezus Christ…

  30. shorty says:

    hey whats up johnny does look a little creepy,i think its the red hair and orangey contacts,but he is the HOTTIE under all that.I LOVE SWEENEY TODD!!!!

  31. kkaren says:

    He looks like the love child of Elijah Wood and Carrot Top. Very, very strange.
