“The 46-year-old actor joins Anne Hathaway, Matt Lucas, Alan Rickman, Stephen Fry and Helena Bonham Carter in the eagerly-anticipated movie.”

Sounds fun. I’m kind of a Tim Burton fan (isn’t he married to Helena Bonham-Carter?)

Also a big Alan Rickman fan. He is the best Harry Potter character (Snape). He always steals the show.

I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say that Tim Burton will be director.

Yep. And you can’t even begin to typecast Johnny Depp into any type of character. The guy is just plain talented.

Yes, Tim Burton is married to Helena Bonham-Carter.

I still remember the first time I saw Alan Rickman, in a Masterpiece Theater production of The Bishop of Barchester (I believe that was the name of it.)

Anyway, he played a slimy Reverend named Slope, and was absolutely great in that role. He has made a good living playing the bad guy.

He looks even madder as The Hatter than he did as Willy Wonka.

Tim Burton rocks 90% of the time.

Fear and Loathing was unwatchable.

Easy to typecast, when is the last time Johny Depp portrayed a reality character? Willy Wonka, Edward Sissor Hands, Jack Sparrow, Raoul Duke, The Madd Hatter, Sweeny Todd, Ichabod Crane. Easy to typecast. He is talented though.

It was hard getting past the Michael Jackson-look at first in Wonka, but that passed that.

But this one! Whew, you’re totally right! Can’t wait to see it!

Donny Brasco, Nick of Time, What’s Eating Gilbert Grape, Finding Neverland... Not easy to typecast.

Oh yeah, what a dope I turned out to be!

They're my two favorite directors, but I mixed up which one turned out that garbage.

A decade ago. Yes there were a few. But I definatly see a pattern of him portraying fantasy characters. Thats fine he’s is very good at it. But I call that a typecast.
