I don’t usually run images that I think are absolute fakes, but this one has been sent to me enough times today to warrant inclusion just so that you, the loyal Chewers, can talk about it amongst yourselves. Originating at the Johnny Depp fansite Johnny-Depp.org, this picture purports to show Depp in costume as the Mad Hatter in Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland. There are some alarm bells to be rung, though: first, the image looks softened to hide tell-tale Photoshop traces (I’ve seen a few Shops in my time). Look at that bunny – is it painted in? Second, will Depp even be wearing a costume? The film is being touted as part live action/part CGI, so we don’t even know who will be unmolested by pixels in any given scene.
However, this design looks just shitty enough to be real – could it be concept art? Lots of concept artists wil Photoshop actors into designs. It could be a not real picture of Depp but a real representation of how he’ll look in the film. Or maybe it’s real and I’m just overly suspicious and paranoid of strange internet leaks in my old age.

Looks gay enough to be real
FIRST! sorry wrong site…
That's an 80s headshot of Cindy Lauper. (Cindi? Cyndi?)
Is it bad that when I just glimpse any production art from upcoming Tim Burton movies I go a little dead inside?
Looks like Edward Siccorheads finally got his mopey head out of that old castle and found a place for himself in Wonderland.

Way to fail, shoveller.
I'm going to go ahead and call bullshit on this one. I refuse to believe that this is real.
just looks like another boring, by the numbers Tim Burton flick.
Back in the day this pairing of director and material would have had my movie weenie vibrating all over the place… Sad that Burton's output since has been so spotty. Damn, Big Fish was bad…
Junkie goth crap? Yeah, looks Burton.
Instead of showing how cool and different I am by not liking something Tim Burton is doing, I'll be cool and different and praise what I think–fake or not–is a pretty cool take on the character.
Looks like a promotional picture from Sweeney Todd with crayon all over it.
This looks like Johnny Bohnam Carter (Burton?). If Depp looks like Helena, and Burton is married to Helena, and they are presumable sexually active, does this mean that by making Depp look like his wife that he secretly wants to fuck Johnny Depp?
Devin, are your breasts sore? Try rubbing some butter on them, then suckle from your swollen fatty-tissued teats.
Tim: Hey guys here’s my dark and brooding take on the Mad Hatter in my new film Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland.
Johnny: Yeah, it’s like what if the Mad Hatter was David Bowie, right Tim?
Tim: Well, not really too much like David Bowie. More dark and brooding but funny.
Johnny: Yeah. Isn’t that great. I’m a dark rock Mad Ziggy Hatterdust.
Tim: But it’s more like you’re dark and crazy and funny and brooding. You might serve someone tea or cut their throat.
Johnny: Yeah. But in a Bowie way. Like the cover of Aladdin Sane. Are you sure I can’t have a rainbow lightning bolt on my face?
Tim: I guess. Well… Maybe. But you’re more of a Jack Nicholson/Edward Scissorhands Mad Hatter with red hair.
Johnny: That’s so right Tim. I’m like a Jack Nicholson/Edward Scissorhands/Willy Wonka/David Bowie.
Tim: Okay, I’ve got to go make sure the script is sufficiently dark and brooding and yet funny and family friendly. Good job Johnny.
Johnny: Whatever you say Tim. You’re the creative mad genius I love.
For some reason, that reminds me of Adam Ant on the cover of Prince Charming. Not that that's necessarily a bad thing if you like that sort of camp…
IT IS FAKE !!!! IT IS TAKEN FROM A PROMO SHOOT FOR SLEEPY HOLLOW. mark my words. nobody wants to see make up that bad.
So I'm the only one that thinks this is awesome outside the box character design? Damn. I think it's rad, depending on how the character is done. Plus I think this is real, because would a random stranger really have gone so far into detail as to bandage the thumb? It's fucking cool you guys, lay off.
Ridicule is nothing to be scared of…
I'm sure if Seth Rogen was in this role it would be getting a glowing review by now.
Thanks fat tits.
