I don’t know about you, but I am VERY excited that “Sweeny Todd” is 1. now a movie, 2. is starring Johnny Depp and 3. is coming out soon (Christmas!). I am a huge Johnny fan, and a huge Tim Burton fan also!

So, Tim Burton - he’s directing so you know the movie will be dark and gothy, and super awesome. Johnny Depp is playing Sweeny Todd, although one issue I can see having is that he sounds like Jack Sparrow from the “Pirates” trilogy. Guess a person can only have a couple “voices” (I know Mike Myers only has a couple .. I always hear him repeat them). Helena Bonham Carter is in the movie also as well as Alan Rickman, Sasha Baron Cohen and even Anthony Head (gosh, he’s been everywhere lately!)

Synopsis:
Based on the 19th century legend of Sweeney Todd and the hit Broadway musical with music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, Sweeney Todd a.k.a Benjamin Barker returns to London after being sent away by Judge Turpin with the help of a sailor, Anthony Hope. He opens a barber shop above Mrs. Lovett’s Meat Pie Shop were she sells “the worst pies in London.” With the help of Mrs. Lovett, Todd tries to rid of all the people who have ever done him wrong and hopes to be reunited with his daughter, Joanna, who is now Judge Turpin’s ward. Written by Anonymous via IMDB.com.
