So, who is totally stoked about this movie coming out this December? I cannot wait! I always get so excited whenever Johnny Depp comes out with a new movie..and I love that Helena Bonham-Carter is once again playing opposite of him...they do so well together.

The musical/play version is actually coming to Pittsburgh, Pa...very soon..I think I might try to see that one too.

I kind of want to see it.

In 7th grade, my music teacher told our class that it was the worst play she's ever seen, and when she told us about the pies, I had nightmares! But I've been tempted to see it, and my local library has a copy of the play to rent, but I've been kind of afraid to watch it, which is weird, because I watch horror movies constantly, and my favorite horror movie is the original 'The Texas Chainsaw Massacre', which is about cannibalism.

Ya, you should rent it. I mean..if you can handle Texas Chainsaw Massacre..you should be fine with this one! :)

Saw the tralier to the film on Film 2007 this week and we want to see it.

Pure fiction of course, but there is a barber's shop on Fleet Street in this very day and age!

Not sure how the 'legend' affects his business, but there's several establishments that sell pies nearby!

There is a McDonalds further up The Strand.

I saw the trailer for this.  It looks pretty good

Whenever I see the name Sweeney Todd, I always get confused cause In the 70s, there was a glam rock band of the same name that launched the careers of Nick Gilder and Bryan Adams

I am always leery whenever they try to turn musicals into movies because they really screw it up. Phantom was ok-except they had the chandelier come down at the end instead of at the end of the First Act. Evita was also ok, but not great. I  ALWAYS prefer when they have musicals, that they film them on stage. There were two Sweeney Todds done this way.  One with Angela Lansbury & George Hearn. And then there was Sweeney Todd in Concert with George Hearn, Patti LaPone, & Neil Patrick Harris.

Now, I do love Johnny Depp & Helena Bonham-Carter but I reserving my judgment until I see it.

they work so well together, huh? I think they are perfect for each other...too bad they aren't together in real life!

so, have any of you seen the movie yet? I think I am going tomorrow night. I can't wait to see Johnny AND Helena!! :)

In the UK, Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street has it's premier on 10th January 2008 and is released to the public on the January 25th

I saw the original Broadway produciton in  I think '79 and it was amazing.
I am happy to say i've seen Angela Lansbury live.

it was a great show then; I am really looking forward to this!

There is a hair place not too far us called Sweeney Todd's. Now, you REALLY want to have your hair done at a place by that name? I wouldn't.

I saw Angela Lansbury on stage in Mame back in the early 70s. She was/is INCREDIBLE!!!!!

Is there a pie shop next door?

Is there a pie shop next door?



Not next door but down the street just a bit.  :D ;D ;D ;D  We get bread from that bakery from time to time-that is sold at another store, so we don't actually GO to the bakery. I never knew it was so close to Sweeney Todd's until I just looked on the map. Hmmmm, maybe we should think twice about the bread.  :D ;D ;D ;D

There was me saying 'oh I hear Helena is pregnant again' in the obsessions thread, no kidding, she gave birth to a little girl over christmas! So very pregnant then.  ::)

I'm leery of musicals.  Period.  But Sweeney Todd is one of a few that I like, and I'm going to see the movie because Johnny Depp rocks, plus my brother endorsed it, and he one played Sweeney Todd!

well hell..I didn't get to see it tonight...but I think I am going sometime next week.

Well...I FINALLY got to see Sweeney Todd, this past Saturday. I was totally impressed with it...I could see it several more times and not be tired of it.

Johnny Depp did an AMAZING job with this role, and he has a great singing voice too! I downloaded all of the songs from the movie...such a great soundtrack!  Helena Bonham Carter was so great, too!! She is so attractive, in that mysterious/gothic sort of way...and her dresses were just beautiful.

If you haven't seen it yet...do go and see it! :)
