I thought it was announced as Helena Bonham Carter....
Who is messing with us? Moreso, was this announced and I have been under a rock?
Also...isn't she just plain old WRONG for this???

Posted: 11/18/06 at 8:37pmi dont know who changed it, but it couldnt be Lisa, they already announced Helena, and they never put out an announcement she dropped out of the film...

You're reminding me of people you hear at the movies asking questions every ten seconds, "Who is that? Why is that guy walking down the street? Who's that lady coming up to him? Uh-oh, why did that car go by? Why is it so dark in this theater?" - FindingNamo on strummergirl
"If artists were machines, then I'm just a different kind of machine...I'd probably be a toaster. Actually, I'd be a toaster oven because they're more versatile. And I like making grilled cheese" -Regina Spektor
"That's, like, twelve shows! ...Or seven." -Crazy SA Fangirl
"They say that just being relaxed is the most important thing [in acting]. I take that to another level, I think kinda like yawning and...like being partially asleep onstage is also good, but whatever." - Sherie Rene Scott

Posted: 11/18/06 at 8:39pmI think the cast is a little bit too young! If they're casting her, then they better do something with her youth!

I bet that her and Mrs. Mooney could sing a rousing rendition of Smelly Cat.

Imagine her walking into the barbershop and seeing Pirelli's body in Sweeney's case...and suddenly...

Lisa Kudrow is 43 (born 1963)
Helena Bonham Carter is 40 (born 1966)
Lisa is older than Helena...however, not nearly as creepy looking and chameleon-like with her looks. However...Carter is far more beautiful (and clearly more appropriate the performer for this role, if she can sing)

Neddy, you have the authority to do that? In other words, you are affliated with the project?
I am not arguing with you if you are...I am just wondering where that announcement came from.
I know very well that imdb is often full of errors...but do you know for a fact that this is just a silly goof?

Posted: 11/18/06 at 8:56pmeve harrington2- Anybody can edit it (who has an IMDB account), so I just hit edit, and made the changes back to Helena (who was previously OFFICIALY anounced)
#12re: Lisa Kudrow is Mrs. Lovett according to imdb
Posted: 11/18/06 at 8:57pm
What eve neddy is illustrating is how unreliable this piece of information is, seeing that anyone can go on imdb and change the cast.
EDIT: beat me to it.

And you know for a fact that Carter is still doing it?
I am not arguing that she isn't...I am just wondering who added Lisa Kudrow? Meaning, maybe, announcement or no announcement, someone knows something we don't...
Just saying...
I recall the Chicago IMDB went through more changes in the months leading up to the filming and no one believed those changes either.
I seriously doubt that Kudrow is doing Lovett, and I also doubt that Carter has bailed from the production...however, who knows? Maybe she and Burton has a spat...just saying...

Since I haven't been reading or posting in a while, I missed that thread, and since the search function is being strange tonight (it is, it keeps malfunctioning), I will have to take your word on this one...
I just randomly was on the IMDb page because I just saw Borat, and saw Kudrow listed as Lovett, and found it very amusing.
