Johnny Depp to play Sweeney Todd - Trailer now up

No better combo for me, Depp and Burton.

Quote:
Johnny Depp and director Tim Burton are to reunite for a film version of the Stephen Sondheim musical Sweeney Todd.
Depp will play Todd, the legendary London barber who murdered his customers by slitting their throats.

Tim Burton hasn't made a good film since Ed Wood. Sleepy Hollow was good but only because of Johnny Depp and the same goes for Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

The Sweeney Tood character is perfect for Johnny Depp but Tim burton is extremely predictable.

I hope sticks to the setting of the movie and not create some half arsed fantasy land.

It's put down to different opinions and taste. There was no need for Planet of the Apes Remake.

I always had this dream that Arnie would be in the same role as Charlton Heston was but of course that wasn't to be and it annoyed me, but in my opinion if you are going to remake a film, it has to be better than the original and this was no where near it so I just thought what was the point retelling an old story when the original is still not out of date.

Sleepy Hollow was good, but Tim Burton is typical creating these dark and mysterious sets. I just wish he try and direct a normal film, its like he has to create the over the top sets to excuse the poor direction.

Ed Wood was perfect as was Edward Scissorhands and both those films starred Johnny Depp so it makes you think what would become of Tim Burton if Depp didn't exist, he relies on him to much.

Burton is a very good storyteller but his direction is very poor which is why he hasn't made a decent film since Ed Wood.

Like I said, just my opinion, nothing else. Don't wanna piss on anyones chips

Yeah...I respect other peoples opinions...it's always good to hear different viewpoints.

Arnie in Planet of the Apes made me laugh I have to say..."get down you eediot apes!"



Burton will never direct 'normal' films...he creates his own styles of films mainly due to his influences and his comic book past.
