Depp's new Disney projects revealed


Hollywood heart throb, Johnny Depp, has been signed to three new Disney projects on top of his already busy filming schedule.

Variety (the entertainment industry newspaper) revealed last week that Depp will be returning as the obscure yet, lovable Captain Jack Sparrow for a fourth installment of the Pirates of the Caribbean series.

Pirates of the Caribbean producer, Jerry Bruckheimer, will also be working with Depp on a separate project as he produces a new take on the Lone Ranger where Depp will star as the Ranger's sidekick Tonto.

Depp will be collaborating once again with his old friend Tim Burton for an adaptation of the Disney classic, Alice in Wonderland. Depp will star as the Mad Hatter in a film that will be made up of 3D animation and performance capture technology.

Dispatch Online writes: 'The announcements for Ranger, Wonderland and “an additional role” were made before a crowd of roaring fans in Hollywood last week when Depp appeared at the Walt Disney Showcase, a preview of the studio’s productions over the next few years.'

Depp is currently signed up or filming for the likes of The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, The Rum Diary and Sin City 3 (to name but a few), so we can expect to see a lot more of the actor on our screens during the next few years.
