Johnny Depp's new film Alice in Wonderland will come out of the rabbit hole and into theaters nationwide on March 5 and Depp recently held a press conference for the film. Naturally, talk turned to Depp's numerous upcoming film projects such as The Tourist, Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides and Dark Shadows. Here's what Depp had to say about these new films.

When does The Tourist star shooting?

Johnny Depp: Tuesday.

What was it about the part that made you want to sign on?

Johnny Depp: I liked the French film. I liked it a lot. My friend played the part in that and I liked it. So I thought it might be interesting to explore this kind of character. You never know what's going to happen. I suspect there maybe paparazzi in Venice.

How's Dark Shadows going?

Johnny Depp: It's coming along now.

Johnny, we heard there is no Keira Knightley or Orlando Bloom in the next Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides. Is it going to be more Jack Sparrow front and center?

Johnny Depp: Yeah, there's no Keira or Orlando in there. I don't know. I don't think we'd ever throw too much Jack Sparrow in there. There will be a little bit of everybody.

What did Dick Cook say after he left?

Depp: He was a perfect gentleman about the entire...
