"So let me get this straight, it's being released on Christmas day Country Wide now, or is it still going to be january 11th? (I know its the 21st for select theatres)"

Country wide on Christmas day.

That looks awesome! I'm uber-excited now. I hope it opens in my area in Dec, but I have a feeling I'll have to wait.

Can you imagine AL's Lovett in a Tim Burton film?
Mm...I don't think so.

Wow, cool picture. This film seems to be looking darker and darker by the day.

grr... I'm hoping that a theatre near me falls into the "select" category, because there's no way I'm going to be able to sneak away from the family stuff on Christmas day to see it...

That's not from Sweeney Todd and we both know it.

to everyone that keeps saying 'it looks like everything else tim burton has done" - then DON'T GO SEE THE MOVIE!

I'm going, it looks absolutely stunning, and I can't wait.

Well....yeah, it looks good...but we still have no proof Depp can sing the material and do it justice. I guess we'll have to hope they have the equivalent of Mutt Lange in the recording studio.

It opens December 21st in LA and New York (so it'll qualify for Oscar consideration) then the rest of the country on January 11th.

Singing is overrated in movie musicals, anyway.

Obviously.

"It opens December 21st in LA and New York (so it'll qualify for Oscar consideration) then the rest of the country on January 11th."

The film opens wide on Christmas Day.

This is from the beginning of the article posted here on BWW this afternoon:

Tim Burton's eagerly anticipated screen version of Stephen Sondheim's classic 1979 musical Sweeney Todd will go in to a limited domestic release on December 21st, 2007, and open in wide release in the U.S. on January 11th, 2008.

It's wrong.

USA Today reported today that the wide opening has moved up to Christmas Day

I think they look good. I want to see this!

I love this picture, a lot. It probably doesn't hurt that I have a slight crush on both Depp and Helena Bonham Carter, but really, the look of the movie based on the stills we've seen is gorgeous.

I'm a big Sweeney Todd fan, but I think for the movie they've gone a little overboard with the creepiness. As for Mrs. Lovett...I can't say that's how I pictured her.

It looks awesome. As far as comparisons to the look of SLEEPY HOLLOW (which won an Oscar for its Art Direction, BTW), that's a good thing as far as I'm concerned. That almost black-and-white feel punctuated by the deep red of blood was very effective!

All we need now is the trailer.
