(Possible) Sweeney Todd Trailer News

From a member on the IMDB boards:

"I work at a movie theatre upstairs and I work the projectors half the time, we just got in a film reel of a trailer that says "Sweeney Todd" on it, they haven't told us when to show it just yet but my boss says most likely it will be out with "The Invasion" or "Mr.Beans Holiday"

Make of it what you will. Looking at the member's posting history, he seems... legit and normal...

Thanks for the news! I'm shivering with anticipation.

Reminder:

Warner Bros. isn't releasing Sweeney Todd here in the U.S. They have international rights of distribution ONLY.

The domestic theatrical release and the home video release are both through DreamWorks/Paramount.

There is also a connection with Vertigo Entertainment, which has deep ties to Dreamworks.

Hopefully this is true and not someone's idea of a joke like this one guy who said he had the Batman footage that was shown at the Wizard World Con in Chicago and that he was going to post it at 8pm on You Tube and of course it wasn't the footage but some stupid music video.

Warner Bros has Harry Potter less than a month ago, that was a pretty big release...

The Invasion sounds like the right movie to attach it to. Even though it's musical theatre it would not have fit before HAIRSPRAY with the PG audience it was aimed at. I'm definitely gonna see The Invasion now!

The user just responded with this:

"Well to answer a few of your questions I am NOT lying, and I am from Canada, and I was going to see The Invasion anyway cuz I get free movies =D, I LOVE Nicole Kidman, I was at work this morning and I dont really do tickets or anything I mostly do Maintnence and I hang posters up, projectors, ect, and I jsut hung up the Sweeney Todd poster in the lobby for EVERYONE to see, and we also have posters that I cant hang up untill November but they all say "Christmas Day" at the bottom, and they are all different, one is a picture Of Johnny as Sweeney holding his razor in the air probably from "AT LAST MY RIGHT ARM IS COMPLETE AGAIN!", one is of Helena behind the counter with pies in front of her (worst pies in london?) and one is of Alan Rickman with his cane, each of them say "Johnny Depp as Sweeney Todd" and then the logo one says "Helena Bonham Carter as Mrs.Lovett" and then the logo and the thrid one says "Alan Rickman as Judge Turpin" and the logo, and we also have a HUUUUUUGE vinyl banner just of the poster that we have all seen from the comic-con thing, I asked if I could take pictures but I cant because then I might get charged for leaking them and I wouldnt show you anyway becuase I am selfish! hhheeee, lol just kidding but I would show you all if I could becuase I know you are all die hard Sweeney fans like me. Talk later if I get anything else"

Sounds kind of bogus to me.

"I could take a picture of the one I hung up but we have all seen it, its the one from the Comic-Con thing"

God is that poster HOT. Every time I see it I like it more. I cannot wait for the Lovette and Turpin posters.
