Wow. Came late to this particular bit of news. Tim Burton will be doing a big screen adaptation of Sweeney Todd … with … Johnny Depp in the lead role?
Um …
Burton’s convinced Depp can do it. Stephen Sondheim isn’t, yet.
(And as a blast from the past, consider the Which Sweeney Todd Character are You? quiz. Forgive the egregious typos.)

Burton and Depp?
Could be good.
IMDB has it shown as in Pre-production and slated for 2007 release.
No other actors listed.
So, I would asume that means that there is a casting call out, script rewritting and the whole making Sondheim happy phase of the operation right now.
Then again, if Christopher Walken could sing….
