Picture of Johnny Depp as Sweeney Todd — Page 5

I agree. That photo looks great. What part of the movie do you think the costume is for? The first part of movie that ends with A Little Priest or the second part of the movie? I would think that it's part of the second half of the movie, given the fact that he has a holster on his belt with his razor in it, doubt when he enters in the movie, he'll have a holster and one of his razors on him along with the napkin.

Now we just need a photo of Helena as Mrs. Lovett, Alan as Turpin, Sacha as Pirelli, Chris Lee as Gentleman's Ghost, Jayne as Johanna, Ed as Tobias and I forget what the name of the actor playing Anthony is, along with the rest of the cast, then of course after that, the first preview which I think will probably be attached to either Pirates 3 or Harry Potter 5.

My guess is that's when he goes to challenge Pirelli. He has his blade handy to offer as the price for the competition. Then again, Sacha Baron Cohen was in LA recenlty for the premiere of his fiancee's movie so it could be a scene later on in the movie.

For the millionth time YES! Filming has RESUMED. Depp's daughter was ill several weeks ago. She's fine, at home for some time now and all is back to normal.

Oy!

Poor Brody. Poor put upon Brody.

He looks rediculous! He looks like he kept his pirate costume, and stole Lily Munsters wig on the way to the shoot.

Movies are about the director. His vision is what finally ends up on the screen, no matter how fantastic the screenplay, performances - and in this case - score may be.

There are hundreds of mediocre movies with great performances, screenplays and music, but lacking in directorial talent. A picture in a parking lot of Depp's hair suggests absolutely nothing, either positive or negative about the movie.

I can't think of a more creative director working today who's more appropriate for Sweeney Todd. A couple days ago there was a thread about everyone's favorite movies. Many of the posts included Burton movies.

I understand that the great musical of our time being committed to film is nervous making. But this appears to be a very serious creative team involved in a very important project.

I really don't get all the smelling salts about this.

The point of the character of Sweeney Todd is that he was an unassuming modest man transformed emotionally by the injustice to which he was subjected. For him to turn into a physical Neanderthal would be idiotic.

But you're right. In lesser hands the casting could very easily have gone in a Perlmanesque direction.

A hulking Sweeney makes absolutely no sense. He's psychologically dangerous, but not physically. When the tenderness and tragedy sets in at the end, the Incredible Hunk type casting wouldn't work.

When I first saw this pic, I thought it was from Edward Scissorhands too. Then I saw the hands, lol. I agree with alot of you guys, we can't judge his appearance by this picture. We are just going to have to wait and see when the publicity photos come out. Hopefully it will be good!

You know what? I'd totally do him. Hot.

I hate that streak too.

I think that may the be the point that most people have been trying to make..... Sweeney should not be hot. End of story.

I also don't think that people are saying he should be ripped or muscular... I think he should be stockier, broader shoulders and just overall bigger boned, possibly even chubby due to muscles eating themselves.

I think the makeup and the costumes are great though. There is a reason that the costumes are similar to Sleepy Hollow, being that it was the english colonies and the time periods are fairly close to each other. It only makes sense.
