We are just a few months away from the release of Tim Burton‘s Alice In Wonderland but the promo materials just keep on comin’, ensuring that our excitement level is kept up. The official Facebook profile for the film has been updated with a new promo photo of Johnny Depp as The Mad Hatter:

FACEBOOK EXCLUSIVE: The Mad Hatter, Alice, and the Queens – both Red and White – want to wish all of the ALICE IN WONDERLAND fans a Happy New Year! Please enjoy the first official photo of The Mad Hatter from the film. Be sure to visit more often – you never know what surprises will come your way.

As far as the “first official photo of The Mad Hatter” goes, they could’ve given us a better pic but I’m not really complaining, I’m happy to take what they give us. It’s funny, when we first heard about the film back in July with the release of the first teaser trailer (well, actually we first officially heard about the film back in June … many months after we got our very FIRST inkling of this Burton-directed Wonderland movie in November of 2008 when that first photo of The Mad Hatter leaked to the Internets) it seemed like March 2010 was so far away … now we’re almost there. I’m seriously dying of anticipation … IMAX 3D is the way to go. I hope the promo pics keep comin’ … even tho we’re just a few months away from the film’s release, I still want to see more.
