Christmas seems like an odd holiday for the release of the Johnny Depp Sweeney Todd <\/em>flick<\/a> … but I’m sure we’ll figure out a way to go see it then.  Probably without Kitten, though …  <\/p>\n

This was an odd phrase from the Variety article:<\/p>\n

The hope is that “Sweeney” will be the sort of signature role for Depp that Captain Jack Sparrow in Disney’s “Pirates of the Caribbean” franchise was. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Depp has quite a few quirky, and quite good, roles behind him.  The paragraph does make me think of the improbable (if there is a God) follow-up of sequels — say, Sweeney Todd – Dead Man’s Pate<\/em> and Sweeney Todd – “…Two Bits!”<\/em>  (shudders)<\/p>\n

Re casting<\/a>, I actually worry less about Depp in the title role than Helen Bonham Carter as Mrs Lovett.  Though I expect Alan Rickman will make a fine Judge Turpin …<\/p>\n
