"Alice In Wonderland"

Despite the fact that I have known all of you for quite a few months, I am getting the feeling we don't know enough about each other. Instead of beginning with the blatantly obvious facts like my name, where I live, etc, etc, I think I should admit that I am a intense supporter of all things Johnny Depp. Original, I know. I have been a fan of Depp for many years, considering the fact that, as unusual as it sounds, I grew up watching Edward Scissorhands and it is my life goal to see every film he is affiliated with. All I can do now is convince you that my love for him as a fan is hugely based on his talent in the cinema. I say hugely based because I'm not blind and I am in fact a girl. I also stand by my opinion that his three Oscar nods are simply incapable of encompassing the talent this man has for acting. But I digress.

Instead, I figured I should remind you all that one of his next films is another collaboration with Tim Burton, his 7th to be exact. Yes, m'friends, Alice In Wonderland, give the readers a gold star. Not that Johnny is the only star to be cast. The film is comprised of such people as Helena Bonham Carter, Alan Rickman, Michael Sheen, Anne Hathaway, to name a few. The largest issue I have with this particular adaptation is that it is not going to be released until March 5, 2010. The wait will be long, but I expect to exert the mental work that will be required out of the necessity of waiting for Johnny.



As a parting gift, I recommend one of the best interviews I have seen of the actor to all of you Johnny Depp fans out there that have been living under a rock. The June issue of Vanity Fair was fantastic in its ability to look beyond the stereotype of Johnny Depp and delve into the depth below the actions we see through the public eye. Enjoy.
