Johnny Depp is all set to dawn the role of Mad Hatter in Alice in Wonderland. Depp and Burton began working in the early 1990s on the Edward Scissorhands. They recently collaborated on Sweeney Todd. They have formed the longest running director actor partnerships in modern Hollywood. When Burton committed to filming a new live action CG animated version of Alice, Depp was touted as the most likely candidate to play the Mad Hatter.

Disney formally announced the casting Wednesday at a studio presentation. Mia Wasikowska, the young Australian who scored in HBO’s In Treatment has the film’s title role. Matt Lucas is set to play the dual roles of Tweedledum and Tweedledee. This is one of the string projects that Johnny Depp is associated with Disney.
