Glimpse of Johnny Depp in 'Alice in Wonderland' Causes Audible Gasps

I'm sure Johnny Depp causes audible gasps where ever he appears, but these particular sounds of delight made it onto The New York Times' Carpetbagger blog. They occurred at an annual Disney board meeting, where attendees were treated to a video montage that featured the first glimpse of Depp as the Mad Hatter in Tim Burton's trippy Alice in Wonderland.The description given confirms that photo that was floating around last year which we had to take down, but still can be found all over the place: "Victorian top hat, crimped hair that sticks straight out, and swirl of brightly colored make-up on his eyes, cheeks and lips that resembled the blur of a pinwheel blowing in the breeze." So, it wasn't Photoshopped ... and that means we all saw something before the Disney board of executives did. Don't you feel special?
Despite that it's leaked out all over the place, Disney isn't interested in releasing an official photo in order to keep it an exclusive for their new quarterly Disney Twenty-Three magazine. Will anyone consider that first look, an interview with Burton and a look at some concept art worth $15.99? I think someone forgot to tell Disney about the Internet ... yet they did yank our copy of the photo, so someone in the Magic Kingdom knows we're out here.
Follow me on Twitter! I won't make you audibly gasp but we'll have fun anyway.
Disney Unveils 2009 Schedule: 'Hannah Montana' and 'Prince of Persia" Join Summer Battle

The Montana madness continues! Now that the writer's strike is resolved, Variety reports that Disney is the latest studio to revamp their schedule and stake out some prime release dates.Among their 2009 and 2010 releases will be The Hannah Montana Movie, to be released on May 1st, 2009 and pitted against 20th Century Fox's X-Men Origins: Wolverine.
Wolverine versus Hannah Montana. I'm laughing just thinking about it. I want someone to make a comic book cover of this right now. (Seriously. I will frame it.) My money is on Wolverine to actually win that battle, but who knows what incredible powers Montana may possess.
All sarcasm aside, I imagine this will actually be a very good move by Disney. Moms and daughters can go watch Hannah Montana, while their fathers and brothers go see Wolverine. The whole family wins!
