Now that Tim Burton has found his Alice (Australian actress Mia Wasikowska), it's time to round up the rest of the cast for his upcoming adaptation of Lewis Carroll's "Alice in Wonderland." Let the speculation begin!

The latest rumor on the Web is that, come tea time, Johnny Depp will be seated at the head of the table as none other than the Mad Hatter. I don't think anyone can say they'd be surprised if Burton decided to go this route. As always, it would be interesting to see what little Depp-isms he could add to the role.

But Depp isn't the only Burton regular in the running for a spot in the film. Fans are also rallying together in support of Helena Bonham Carter playing the Queen of Hearts. (Though that rumor is even less substantiated than Depp as the Mad Hatter).

So what do you think of these potential castings? Are you tired of the Burton/Depp/Bonham Carter trifecta? Who do YOU think needs to be in Burton's "Wonderland???"

I honestly can't believe people are still into Tim Burton movies. What do they seem in them? Big Fish, Sweeney Todd, Chocolate Factory were HORRIBLE! Burton the Butcher belongs in a hot topic store with all the other pretentious goths
