Rumor Time! Johnny Depp to Play the Doctor in a Feature Length Film??

Internet rumors are so much fun! io9 reports that the latest rumor is that Johnny Depp will play the Doctor in a full length Dr. Who movie. It's crazy, and yet I can't help imagining the possible brilliance. Though I love Johnny (like seriously LOVE that man) my Dr. Who fangirl doesn't think it would work. The Dr. Who franchise has such loyal fans that if it's not perfect, the film will be a disaster. But there's pretty much nothing to worry about since it's just a rumor, and a fun one at that.

The Next Tim Burton Movie?

Deadline reports that Dreamworks got the rights to a story based on the board game, "Monsterpocalypse", and Tim Burton is in talks as the director. The game would lend itself to sorta Jumanji-esque movie; it's about battling monsters in a large city. This isn't at all certain, probably just more internet rumors. So far the only name tied to it is game creator, Matt Wilson, as co-producer. More info to come, I'm sure, until then follow the link to a video of the game set up at Gen Con http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lFjSY7TQ4x0&feature=player_embedded

Johnny Depp is Not Dropping Pirates

Lately there have been may articles claiming Johnny Depp may be replaced as Capt. Jack Sparrow (laughable) and that he wants to quit the 4th Pirate movie, but a Disney spokesperson has siad these stories are “completely unfounded,” so look for more news about the project here, the film will hit theaters Summer 2011.

Alice Casting Rumors

From http://www.cinematical.com

Before we get started, I just want to make it clear that in Hollywood nothing is ever official until you see the press release (and you should probably take the following news with a big grain of salt). Over at the Alice in Wonderland fan site, talk has surfaced that Tim Burton has finally cast Alice in his live-action version of Alice in Wonderland (not to be confused with the long-suffering American McGee creation).

According to the commenter, Ian B: "My brother is working on the movie and he said Alice has been cast. He is a music supervisor for the movie and said there will be a press release about it on July 9th. The role was originally supposed to be Evan Rachel Woods but she backed out. Alice won't be played by a child but a 23 year old. From what I was told it's her first Burton movie, and her first big role in a film that will be released world wide." So who's the lucky gal? Say hello to Ryan Nikole Parker. Parker is not very well known, and other than a few TV credits is a relative newcomer to the business.

Burton struck the deal for Alice with Disney back in November, and according to comments on the IMDB message boards, he's already finished casting. Luckily for us, July 9th isn't that far away, so we won't be waiting long for the official word.

Sound off below on who you would like to see go down the rabbit hole with Mr. Burton.

In my opinion, that's a pretty bad source to trust, but we'll post on an actual press release on the 9th if there turns out to be one.
