I just came across the news that Tim Burton is directing Sweeney Todd. Johnny Depp is staring as Todd, Helena Bonham Carter as Mrs. Lovett, Alan Rickman as Judge Turpin, and Anthony Stewart Head as some yet unnamed character (in IMDB).
Depp, Rickman and Head in a Tim Burton flick *shiver* that is so cool!
And as for Carter, it is a Tim Burton flick, of course she is in it.
Filming schedule to begin in Feb of 2007 so it will be awhile before we get to see it. *pout*
oh.my.gods! That is either the most terrifing thing I have ever heard or the absolute coolest!
I’m wondering if this will be an adaptation of the Sondheim show, or a new interpretation of the legend.
Hrm….
NOOOOO!
Sweeney is my most favorite show . . . Depp as Todd, are you sure? And Mrs. Lovett is not a thin atractive woman . . maybe Carter is playing Johnana . . the enginue.
sigh.
Re: NOOOOO!
I saw something about Rickman and Tim Burton it and checked it with IMDB. That is how I found out about the rest. IMDB is my source of info so that is how sure I am.
