Johnny Depp is at the front on all of the posters and dvd/blue ray covers. It's Alice's movie but the hatter is the main attraction?
shareGotta put the biggest name on the front to sell more and yes I know this movie bombed hard
sharelike how they kept using Keaton on all the Beetlejuice promo stuff but he only has 17 minuets of screen time, if that.
or Christopher Lee in those Dracula Hammer movies even though he had 8 minutes if screen time and little to no dialogue.
It's a business, they want to draw people in and make money, nothing wrong in that and using the star name is the most logical way to do it. Hatter was the kids favorite characters after all
The look of the Hatter has pulling power because Johnny Depp is got up so good. I wasn't too keen on how he played the character though.
