Burton's ALICE gallery is online, Johnny Depp looks horrifying

USA Today has published a selection of photos and concept art from Tim Burton's upcoming "re-imagining" of the Lewis Carroll classic Alice in Wonderland, and they're odd-looking even by the standard set by the man who gave us Beetlejuice. That's none other than Johnny Depp to the left over there, all but unrecognizable under a really disturbing makeup job that makes him look sort of like what would happen if Frodo Baggins and Carrot Top had a baby.

I wish I was more excited about this movie. But after Burton hurled feces at the original Planet of the Apes and released a toxic Willy Wonka to an unsuspecting public, the phrase "a Tim Burton re-imagining" makes me shudder with dread. Still, this is the Beetlejuice and Nightmare Before Christmas guy. And the concept art does look fantastic. Go ahead, click on over there, and see.
