BobbyBubby---I agree to a point. But from the first time I saw Gerard as the Phantom, particularly the Red Death cotume from the masquerade, I knew something was "off." But Phantom's costume and art direction were the best part of that film. It's still beautiful to look at... just not to, you know, actually WATCH. The production stills are (mostly) great!
From this new photo of the Sweeney movie, all that I can tell, is that this is a fresh take on Sweeney and Lovett. HIS costume, much more than hers now, suggests the Penny Dreadful look (which is why I DO like the white shock of hair, the heeled boots, and the stylized vest and pants). And maybe I'm reading a lot into Lovett's "look," but as they say a picture paints a thousand words... I see a woman who is poor, but dressing beyond her station in life. She wants to make public impression, but her hair's a mess and her bosom is showing (with a touch of red undergarment?). They both look pallid and sickly. But intensely focused on the moment.
It looks like a movie... not a stage play.
It ain't over... 'til all these fat ladies sing, I realize, but what precious little we've gotten so far is whetting my appetite for more!
