Wanna see a crazy picture... that just might be Johnny Depp as The Mad Hatter?

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. Lord knows my bullshit detector isn't great when it comes to early photos. I posted some early concepts of Heath Ledger as the Joker that, while accurate to all available information at the time, were fan-made.

And I might be duped again. We at AICN have our fingers on the strings of some sources to authenticate this pic if we can, but it's just too bizarre and, in my opinion, sweet as hell not to share. Consider this a rumor, consider it possibly fake, but take a gander at this pic of Johnny Depp as The Mad Hatter in Tim Burton's ALICE IN WONDERLAND!



I really, really like it. Even if it could be fake, it has a kind of Kabuki theater mixed with Tim Burton's trademarked gothic style. What do you folks think?
