12 h, sep 24, 2008 y - DISNEY SHOWCASE Kodak Theatre Hollywood Johnny Depp

Description:

2008/09/24 Disney Showcase as Jack Sparrow at Kodak Theatre in Hollywood

Johnny Depp in Alice in Wonderland, Lone Ranger, and Pirates 4! Updated!

Walt Disney Studios Showcase previewed all of Disney's upcoming films for the next few years. The finale featured a trifecta of announcements regarding the one-and-only Johnny Depp.

First, it was announced that he would be playing the Mad Hatter in Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland.

Second, the USC Marching Band paraded into the theater triumphantly playing The Lone Ranger theme song, before Johnny Depp dressed as Captain Jack Sparrow appeared on stage, confirming his casting in that film.

And last but not least, host Dick Cook mentioned that this might mean we'll see another Pirates of the Caribbean movie, confirming that a fourth film from that franchise is also in the works. Johnny Depp has definitely become Disney's biggest star!
