First Pics of Depp as Sweeny Todd
Mar 31st, 2007 by Daniel Zilber
Perez Hilton has posted the first public glimpse of Johnny Depp in the title roll of Tim Burton’s Sweeney Todd, currently in production in London. Sweeney Todd is the big-screen adaptation of Stephen Sondheim’s 1979 Grand Guignol Broadway musical about a throat-slashing barber and his meat-pie-making accomplice (Helena Bonham Carter). Variety is reporting the film is on track for release in time for Christmas of this year (selected cities only, to qualify for Oscar consideration no doubt). Perez thinks Depp looks like a grown-up Edward Scissorhands. I think he looks more like a Victorian Susan Sontag.
