Thoughts?
I think we should kidnap Johnny Depp and hide him while forcing Tim Burton to make some films without him. I can't tell you how ridiculously bored I am by the pair of them.
Good costume, interesting look, but totally overshadowed by my longing for the pair of them to JUST GIVE IT A REST.

Looks like Helena Bonnam Carter to me.
^I agree with Weez. I mean, Depp has been in every film Burton has made since 2005...He's only made four films since then, but still, it's gotten quite boring.

That costume/make-up is pretty sick, I must say :P
I kind of agree though- I think Johnny and Tim should take a little break from each other haha. Don't get me wrong, I will see ANYTHING with Johnny, and I'm a pretty big fan of Tim too. They do great work together. But whenever Johnny works with him he ends up doing the same really quirky, dark roles! And he's BRILLIANT at them, but... he's such a VERSATILE actor, and you wouldn't necessarily know it if you just saw the films he's done with Tim!
He needs to do more movies like Finding Neverland, and Benny & Joon (which is my fav), and Blow, and Don Juan DeMarco. THOSE are the kinds of movies that really show off how incredibly versatile he is :)
(again though, it's not like I'm not excited to see him as the Mad Hatter! Of COURSE I'll be seeing the movie, and I'll most likely love it. But I do agree they both need to branch out a bit)
Wow - now we know what Willy Wonka and Sweeney's Todd's love child would look like
He looks like Boy George in The War Song!
Edit : oops.. I mean .."Mistake Number 3!"

After Sweeney Todd, I was over Tim Burton. I also was not really crazy about Willy Wonka. Depp was good but I wasn't crazy about his tke on the character. He had the look for Sweeney but I was not crazy about his voice. And Helena as Ms. Lovitt, well that just did it for me. I will most likely rent Alice in Wonderland but I won't see it in a theater.
He sort of looks like the photos of Angela Lansbury in DEAR WORLD.
Or really wacked-out Billie Burke in THE WIZARD OF OZ.
I think Johnny can't get by without time & he does, but Tim would be nothing without Johnny.
I think he looks scary. I hope this is good. I love the Burton-Depp projects. Im not tired of them at all.
I think I might be the only one left!
I always wondered what Sweeney Todd might look like, if he went Trick-or-Treating as the Artful Dodger.
Now I know.
He looks like Johnny Depp in another Tim Burton film. In other words, exactly how I expected him to look. No surprises there.

I hope the film won't be another disappointment. My daughter in law and her mom and I are "Alice in Wonderland" groupies. Several years ago there was a made for t.v. movie of AIW. So we had a big costumed tea party. It was fun until we watched the movie, which was a big disappointment.
Looking at Johnny Depps costume makes me think that all the costumes will be dark earth tones which could be effective. The original artwork for AIW was not your typical storybook art. No color pictures. I remember as a child looking at the pictures in a book we had. I was fine with it until it got to the picture of the dutchess spanking the baby. She was one ugly dutchess.
Whatever Burton does I hope he keeps it kid friendly, my little grandson had no use for "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory".
He still looks like Edward Scissorhands. Any time you put dark eyemakeup and a little lipstick on Johnny Depp, you'll get Edward Scissorhands.

Wow. Can't wait.
LOL, or the Mad Hatterhands.
what the hell IS THAT?
i'm a big fan of the depp/burton colabos... but no to that picture. no.
I do not understand the glowing eyes.Can not wait to see the Queen of hearts.
Haha, I think I'd rahter see Depp play the Queen of Hearts.
LOL Diva! AT first glance I thought of Lucy!
He looks more like a skunk ape to me!
