Johnny Depp Confirmed as Mad Hatter in Alice

It's official, Johnny Depp to be the Mad Hatter in Alice in Wonderland. Now all there is to know is what Helena will play. ;)

To quote Sweeney Todd: "I HAVE NO TIME!"

Sorry for the past neglect and lack of updates, with school starting, and other activities, I and chowzer have been left with no time....

There has been some inquiry about casting calls for burton/HBC movies, and just to let everyone know, as I hear about them I'll post them. So keep checking back for updates, I'll try my best to find some more time.

Also make sure to check helena-world.com and timburtoncollective.com for more information.

anyways, onto some news;

HBC will not be in Wild Target anymore... =[

Rupert Grint (i.e. Ron from the Harry Potter films) has joined the film “Wild Target”. According to one of his fan web-sites Helena is not doing the film anymore and has been replaced by Emily Blunt. They got the information from Rupert’s agent:

Note: She is not able to film Target because the shooting schedule contradicted Alice filming; which it's still unknown (but a given) who she'll play... :)
