Johnny Depp sure does like him some greenbacks.
Obviously.
The man behind the ‘Wino Forever’ tattoo has signed to star in Disney’s “Alice in Wonderland 2”, joining Mia Wasikowska for a second trip down the rabbit hole (though, I guess that’s not really correct… we all know ‘The Mad Hatter’ never went down the hole, only Alice did.) Disney have officialised a release date for the unnecessary sequel too, May 27, 2016.
“Muppets” director James Bobin is directing, so expect a couple of song-and-dance tunes.
I understand why they’re doing the sequel – the first thing was a fat hit and then some – but I struggle to think where a follow-up could even go.
Meanwhile, the House of Mouse has set a release date for Jon Favreau’s “Jungle Book” movie too; it’ll be out October 9, 2015.
