DEPP: ‘FILMING ALICE IN WONDERLAND WAS EXHAUSTING’
JOHNNY DEPP was left feeling lonely on the set of fantasy film ALICE IN W= ONDERLAND - because director TIM BURTON forced him to act without his co-= stars to gain the full impact of special effects technology.
The Hollywood hunk is part of an all-star cast, including Anne Hathaway= , Michael Sheen and Helena Bonham Carter, in the upcoming Disney producti= on.
But because Burton required special effects to be added in post-product= ion, Depp found himself acting alone in front of a green screen for many = scenes.
The star admits he found the process exhausting - and left him utterly = confused.
He says, "The novelty of the green wears off very quickly. It’s exhaust= ing, actually. I mean, I like an obstacle - I don’t mind having to spew d= ialogue while having to step over dolly track while some guy is holding a= card and I’m talking to a piece of tape. But the green beats you up. You= ‘re kind of befuddled at the end of the day." But Depp is full of praise for his longterm friend Burton: "To choose t= o grab Alice in Wonderland, that in itself is one thing, and then to do i= t to the Tim Burton level is madness. It’s so huge because, whether it’s = the CGI or the green screen or the 3D or the live action, he’s done it al= l here. It’s the greatest undertaking I’ve heard of." (CL/WNWCDS&WNBTES/M=
