Johnny Depp Doesn’t Shower

Posted by Vanessa Baker on February 26th, 2010

Johnny Depp and his partner Vanessa Paradis prefer not to shower, choosing to stay ”unruly” whenever they can, reports Perez Hilton. Depp, who has been promoting his upcoming film Alice in Wonderland, says he and Paradis are happy to just live peacefully.

“We have a great place in the South of France,” he said. “It’s a little hamlet – only 45 acres – and I don’t do anything. I’ve not left the property for three months at a time. I literally just wake up, go out, check the garden and see the vegetables growing. It’s a pristine existence in terms of simplicity. There’s no talk of movies or work and, infinitely more important, the telephone never rings. It really is a beautiful, simple life.”

Two More Join Tim Burton’s ‘Alice In Wonderland’

Posted by Eva Lam on October 8th, 2008

Director Tim Burton has found his Wonderland queens in the form of Anne Hathaway and Helena Bonham Carter.

The two are the latest cast additions to Burton’s “Alice in Wonderland,” which will rework the classic Lewis Carroll tale using a combination of live action and performance-capture technology.

As previously reported, Johnny Depp will play the Mad Hatter in the movie, while Australian newcomer Mia Wasikowska has signed on as Alice.

Hathaway is playing the benevolent White Queen, while Bonham Carter will get to say the famous line “Off with their heads!” as her sister, the Red Queen.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Hathaway’s character, who is deposed and banished by her sibling, recruits Alice to slay a creature known as the Bandersnatch.

The movie is currently shooting and will hit theatres in March 2010.

Hathaway, who is picking up Oscar buzz for her performance in the just-released “Rachel Getting Married,” will next appear in the supernatural thriller “Passengers.”

Bonham Carter has frequently worked with Burton, her fiancé, and has several films in post-production, including “Terminator: Salvation” and “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.”

‘Alice’ Cast In Tim Burton’s ‘Wonderland’ Adaptation

Posted by Eva Lam on July 26th, 2008

Australian actress Mia Wasikowska is set to chase the White Rabbit and have tea with the Mad Hatter in her latest role.

The 18-year-old newcomer is in final negotiations to star in Tim Burton’s adaptation of the classic fantasy novel “Alice in Wonderland,” ending an exhaustive search for the Disney movie’s lead.

Scripted by Linda Woolverton (“The Lion King”), the big-budget film will be presented in Disney Digital 3-D and mix live-action and performance-capture footage.

Burton’s take on the 1865 tale by Lewis Carroll, formally known as “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland,” isn’t the first time the director is adapting a literary work for the big screen — his 2005 movie “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” was based on the well-known novel by Roald Dahl.

Filming is slated to begin this November, with a target release date of 2010.

Wasikowska, who made her TV debut in the Aussie series “All Saints,” is currently a regular on HBO’s “In Treatment.”

She recently finished shooting her role as a young Amelia Earhart in the Hilary Swank-starring biopic “Amelia,” and will appear opposite Daniel Craig in the war drama “Defiance,” due in theatres in December.

Johnny Depp and Tim Burton Together Again

Posted by andPOP Staff on August 17th, 2006

Actor Johnny Depp and director Tim Burton are teaming up once again. The two will collaborate on a film adaptation of Stephen Sondheim’s stage musical, “Sweeney Todd.”

DreamWorks studio made the announcement on Thursday. The film is slated for release in late 2007.

Depp and Burton have worked together many times before, most notably on films like “Edward Scissorhands,” “Sleepy Hollow,” and most recently on “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.”

Depp will play the film’s title character, a razor-wielding barbar who seeks revenge against a judge for wrongful imprisonment.

Though many versions of the story, which stems from British lore, have been produced, the film will be based on Sondheim’s “Sweeney Todd, The Demon Barber of Fleet Street” interpretation. It was a hit on Broadway in 1979, earning eight Tony Awards.
