Just thought I'd let everyone know. Disney made some announcements about there future films today. All of this information comes from filmforce at ign.com and comingsoon.net.
1. They announced OFFICALLY that Johnny Depp will play the mad hatter in Tim Burtons new movie Alice in Wonderland. They also said the film is being shot in 3-D. Great news IMO.
2. Johnny Depp will also be playing a character in The Lone Ranger. There are conflicting reports that he will play either Lone Ranger himself or Tonto. Filmforce says he has both Cherokee and Navajo ancestry. The movie is being produced by Jerry Bruckhiemer and written by Ted Elliot and Terry Rossio(Pirates). The film is rumored to be directed by Pirates director Gore Verbinski, but that was not confirmed.
3. Speaking of Pirates, Disney also said that they want to make another Pirates film. No other info was revealed, and its thought that the movie wont be made for a while as the Pirates creative team is working on The Lone Ranger. As long as the story is good, I'm all for another Pirates film.
4. Lastly, Disney said they were developing a National Treasure 3. No other details were revealed. I saw National Treasure, but not the second one. I did like the first one though. And I like I said, if the have a good story, I'm all for it.
All in all, it looks like good times ahead for Walt Disney Pictures. So many big films coming. Narnia: Voyage of the Dawn Treader, Prince of Persia: Sands of Time, Princess and The Frog, Rapunzel, Toy Story 3, Alice in Wonderland, TR2N, newt, and the new Muppet movie. Take those and add these new projects.
I think there are great things in store for Disney with these films.
