I'd been hearing about this early in its development and was somewhat curious (and yet bothered at the same time) how Johnny Depp would do in the part of the murdering/musical barber role. Looking at the preview, it almost seems like he's trying to tantalize people who otherwise wouldn't know what the musical is about by inwardly resurrecting his Jack Sparrow role. For those new to the topic of Sweeney Todd, the story concerns a man whose life was somewhat left in shambles by his unjustly being taken to prison. When getting out (he escaped if I remember right), he seeks revenge against the evil judge who put him there. But in his thirst for revenge he takes up killing people who sit in his chair, when taking office as a barber. To dispose of the bodies, his friend Mrs. Lovett, who owns a meat pie shop, comes up with the idea of baking the victims into the pies and serving them to her customers. It goes on from there. |

Yeah, this looks great, I just heard about it. Reminds me of a bit of Edward Scissorhands mixed with Beetlejuice. XD | |||

While it does amuse me that Tim Burton keeps using the same actors over and over, I must say he has damn good taste in them. I love the casting! Though I do find it really funny that this is coming out on Christmas. | |||

So I saw it at midnight the day it came out and I have to say that I really enjoyed it. There is traces of Jack Sparrow in Depp's East End accent, but otherwise I think he does the role really well. I've had Epiphany stuck in my head ever since. |
