Johnny Depp News

Johnny as the Mad Hatter

posted November 19, 2008 under movies
The new Photo of Johnny from the Set of Alice (the new Tim Burton, Disney Film) was released to this site through an insider on the set. After the posting took place with that persons permission, a call was made asking us to in good faith pull down the photo. Out of respect for Johnny, Mr. Burton and Disney alike; we have agreed to do this. The image was leaked off the set without permission and we were unaware of this fact. Noone is to blame for the leak, but at JDorg we will respect the wishes of the film company individuals.

We are excited to see more photos from the set released with permission OF COURSE. Thanks for understanding...

Hathaway will be taking on the role as the
White Queen in Alice in Wonderland. When asked
if she is excited to work with Depp she says
in quote:
"Uh, yeah, ya think?" Hathaway, 25, told
PEOPLE. "I hope I don't faint. I'm wearing
a corset which is difficult enough, but then
to have to wear a corset and be short-breathed
around Johnny Depp?" And her friends are
buzzing with excitement at her upcoming
costar. "I have so many people coming out of
the woodwork who really have never wanted
to visit me on the set before just want to
kind of come and hang out," she says.
"Everyone just wants to meet Johnny. "It might
be my hardest role to date – to keep my cool."

I want to thank each and everyone of you all over the world for your wishes and prayers for me while I was recovering in the hospital this past weeks. I am well now much better and taking it easy at home. It was an easy surgery but of course there is a chance for complications....I felt very blessed that I was able to pull through this unscaved.
I did not take off my Johnnys Angels band at all through the whole ordeal and I felt very blessed and close to many of you that sent wishes and messages to me.
My friend Heather and family filled my room with Johnny photos and cheer and it very much helped me recover and regain strength..Johnnys spirit is very strong and blessed.
He is forever my personal Angel and you are all wonderful friends and my Deppfamily...
Thank you sincerely
Lizzy

Geoffrey Rush has remained tight lipped about
Pirates of the Caribbean 4 and him stepping
Back into Captain Babossa's Pirate boots.
While Johnny has confirmed that he will
return as Captain Jack Sparrow.
Rush says in quote:
There remains more to explore in the series.
'The original title of our script didn't just
read Pirates Of The Caribbean. It read,
'Pirates Of The Caribbean: The Curse Of The
Black Pearl.
'We knew then that there would be sequels.
He adds: 'The writers also knew that the
antagonism between Sparrow and Barbossa
will never end. Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay
*sings* never-ennnnndiiiing piiiiraaaates...' :D

'But I'm still waiting for my phone call.
Maybe my schedule won't allow it because
