Sweeney Todd
These are desperate times, and desperate measures are called for. Or so says Johnny Depp, who plays Sweeney Todd. Paramount Pictures has released the first trailer for Sweeney Todd and it looks fantastically Burton.
Movie Trailer: Sweeney Todd
Depp stars in the title role as a man unjustly sent to prison who vows revenge, not only for that cruel punishment, but for the devastating consequences of what happened to his wife and daughter. When he returns to reopen his barber shop, Sweeney Todd becomes the Demon Barber of Fleet Street who “shaved the heads of gentlemen who never thereafter were heard from again.” Joining Depp is Helena Bonham Carter as Mrs. Lovett, Sweeney’s amorous accomplice, who creates diabolical meat pies.
All the cast look great, especially Johnny Depp. But let us not forget about Helena Bonham Carter, Sacha Baron Cohen -- I laughed my ass off during his introduction -- Alan Rickman and Timothy Spall.
Since the trailer most certainly had to hold back on the blood, one has to wonder if Paramount has the balls to release a red band version. No matter, this film still looks great!
Add to Heffee!
