    Depp/Burton's Sweeney Todd

    I have always been such a HUGE fan of Depp/Burton projects and I just heard that they are doing Sweeney Todd which is going to be coming out in December! I never saw it on broadway, so I'm extremley excited to see it on the big screen! The official site is pretty Amazing!

      Yea I was kind of skeptical at first too, but I watched the clip of him singing on the myspace page, and I think he does a pretty incredible job! I was also a little iffy about the musical aspect but I just read this review and I really think its going to be a hit. Have you seen Sweeney on Broadway?

        Hey, if they could teach Richard Gere to sing (Chicago)?????????????

        Personally I have yet to see any Depp movie I didn’t thoroughly enjoy.

            They've got a 2 or 3 minute preview in HD (1080p) on the Playstation Network (PS3 store). I downloaded it since it's free and it has some of Depp singing and I have to say that I was amazed. He really does well, it's not completely a musical like style that he does, but it definitely works. I think it's going to be a really neat movie and going to really show off what HD is all about. The preview was stunning to watch.
            Digital Audio makes me Happy.

              Yea the more clips I have seen the more excited I am getting for this! I have always been a Johnny Depp fan so I knew I would be biased towards this movie, but I can genuinely say that his singing blew me away. Helena Bonham Carter's voice is also really good, it sounds very crisp! Have you guys seen the clips and interviews on the official site yet? If you have doubts I recommend checking it out.

                If he pulls this off, he deserves a lot of credit.

                    I had never heard of that before... Looks really interesting, I may just have to check it out! Dave999, I totally agree. I think both Burton and Depp are long overdue an Oscar. And I have a feeling this project may just be the one! A lot of the reviews that have been coming out have been really really positive.

                        Johnny Depp - Sweeney Todd
                        by Yasvanth
                        Hello

                        I Am Thinking Of Going And Seeing Sweeney Todd At The Cinema, And Was Wondering Whether Anybody Has Already Seen It And Is It Worth Going And Seeing?

                        They Say It Could Be Johnny Depp's Best Film That He Has Ever Done.

                        Thanks

                        I had a brief exchange of emails with Todd Sutherland of Madrigal today about the future of the AVP. I asked Todd if it would be OK to copy our conversation to this group - he said sure. Note that he was still at work at nearly 8PM tonight (when I received his last response), so he's certainly a dedicated...
