Last week’s issue of Entertainment Weekly featured Johnny Depp dressed as the Mad Hatter in anticipation of Alice in Wonderland, but if our reader mail can be trusted (and if there’s one thing we do with reader mail, it’s trust it), not all of you believed that was actually Depp gracing our cover as Tim Burton’s Hatter. Maureen from Lancaster, N.Y. was among the many who asked us, “Are you sure this isn’t Elijah Wood?”, while Ft. Lauderdale resident Tim Elliott represented the contingent wondering “why Madonna is featured on the cover for Alice in Wonderland.“
We swear on Captain Jack Sparrow’s grave that it’s Depp, but we see your point. You know what that means — PopWatch poll! Do your civic duty, PopWatchers, then sound off in the comments below.
For more on Johnny Depp/Madonna/Elijah Wood/Lauren Hutton and Alice in Wonderland, plus an exclusive interview with Johnny Depp and Tim Burton about their 20-year partnership, pick up the March 5 issue of Entertainment Weekly, on stands now.
If johnny depp and elijah wood had a baby it’d look like that. Red hair and all.
damn you emily! spot on!
Is it Elijah Depp or Johnny Wood?
Johnny Wood sounds vaguely naughty. Go with that, I like it.
haha Lindsay that was hilarious
Johnny Wood sounds catchy.
My worst nightmares.
HaHa! I have been saying that since I saw the very first photo of him and that was a few months ago. It is the gap between the front teeth that screams ELIJAH!!
If Elijah Wood’s sperm and Christina’s Hendricks’ egg were united in a really humid atmosphere.
FIRST!!!
Helena Bonham Carter. That’s the first thing I thought when I saw the poster and it looks the same here.
My pa said Madonna, after he saw a commercial for it. I say Elijah Wood.
It’s the gap they added that makes him look like Madonna and the creepy smile that makes him look like Elijah Wood.
I think it’s Elijah Wood all the way. It’s the giant, light coloured eyes and the smile. From the first time I saw photos I thought he looked like Frodo!
Your wife has good taste. Cover = creepy.
Anyone else notice the eyes go in different directions? My wife hates this cover. Keeps turning it over.
I didn’t notice it until you pointed it out but you are right! That’s just creepy.
i noticed that right away and i can’t tell if it’s on purpose….they don’t seem off enough for it to be intentional…
I saw it right away. My daughter saw the cover and said, “Creeper!”
All you have to do is look at that beautiful nose and cheekbones to know it’s Johnny. A TRUE fan would know that!
Elijah Wood as the Indian God Vishnu. Sorry, but he does.
I love JD. He looks great with or without weird make-up.
I walked past to movie poster for months thinking it was Elijah Wood, until I saw the trailer and realized it was Johnny Depp.
I did think it looked a lot like Elijah – creepy
