can't wait for this...

Sweeney Todd

Director: Tim Burton

Cast: Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter

Plot: Based on the hit Broadway musical which tells the infamous story of Benjamin Barker, a.k.a Sweeney Todd, who sets up a barber shop down in London which is the basis for a sinister partnership with his fellow tenant, Mrs. Lovett. Barker slices and dices, and Mrs. Lovett makes human meat pies.

I hope this is better than the last Burton/Depp collaboration.

This is a great musical. Probably the most socially important and groundbreaking musical of the 70's. I think Johnny Depp is perfect for teh part. I hope this is good.

me too... burton has been more miss than hit in the past few years though

Burton seems to get caught up in visuals and loses touch with the story. Of his last couple of films Big Fish was the exception.

It’s like there’s a throw away dinner scene but he thinks: we’ll make the table incredibly small for all these people and very slanted. Now, we have the basis for an extended scene because it’s crazy.

borat is in this too i believe

yeah, he's definitely got a case of style over substance

Sometimes I don't mind style over substance. I bought "sleepy hollow" just because of Depp and the atmosphere of the town

i bought that dvd too, i don't see what everyone's problem is with that movie.

i liked sleepy hollow

And those assholes at Warner better release a Director's Cut if they follow through with this horseshit plan

You kinda have to wonder what exactly Warner Bros. thought it was going to get in a film about a brutal serial killer helmed by goth-minded director Tim Burton. But the London Daily Mail is reporting that execs are so freaked about the superbloody content of Burton's Sweeney Todd that they've asked him to make cuts to his flick about slasher Todd (Johnny Depp), who slits the throats of his barber-shop clients, then drops them down a hole and into the pastry shop of Mrs. Lovett (Helena Bonham Carter), who grinds them up and uses them as filling for her mince pies. Piles and piles of prosthetic limbs were used during filming, while four crew members pumped fake blood as Todd hacked his way through his victims, singing along while he worked. The Daily Mail reports that some crew members had to take "fresh air" breaks during bloody filming, and Warner Bros. execs were reportedly particularly creeped out by a scene in which a 10-year-old boy does the grinding for Mrs. Lovett's pie filling. "Tim's not happy that the studio is asking for so many cuts to the cutting, as it were," a source says. "The thing is, the studio really likes the film, and they want to make it accessible to as big an audience as possible — which means stemming the blood flow." The movie hits theaters on Dec. 21.
