Depp has agreed to reprise his role as Captain Jack Sparrow in a fourth "Pirates of the Caribbean" pic and play Tonto in a bigscreen adaptation of "The Lone Ranger," both produced by Jerry Bruckheimer. He will also star as the Mad Hatter in Tim Burton’s version of "Alice in Wonderland

I <3 Captain Jack! How exciting... I really didn't think that was going to happen, but I'm thrilled! I'm also looking forward to Alice in Wonderland!!!
I thought this was going to be about Captain Jack Harkness of "Torchwood."
he said a while back hed do another if it was a decent story so Im not surprised. I just hope theyre capable of keeping the story up to par with the others... and ive read odd things, which I hope are only rumors.

You're not the only one, DB - it's the only reason I clicked on this thread!
You can't just say "Captain Jack"; specify! Harkness, Sparrow, or Aubrey! :P
I thought it was about Billy Joel.
WOW!!!
Exciting. YAY!!!
Burton + Johnny + Alice= VERY promising
I was talking with my coworker about Depp playing the Mad Hatter. Who else would Burton cast? It's predictable. What happened to the Burton that used to surprise us?
I'm glad Burton's doing this. I just wish he didn't cast Depp as the whacked out character again. In my head, I see him looking very Willy Wonka-ish.

Tonto? Is this for real?

Same here, Q.
I agree there's no surprise in Burton casting Depp as the Mad Hatter.
Has he cast Helena Bottled Water as the Queen of Hearts yet, or are we still waiting?
Do not want.
Y'know. Because the third one was just sooooo good.
