Russell Crowe Considering Sweeney Todd Movie — Page 4

I'd like to see who they bring on set for the role of the beggar woman. Not an easy part to play!

if crowe can't sing it, why don't they just get marni nixon to dub it?

lol
Q: Is Lansbury too old to play the Beggar Woman, or would you say she's SUPPOSED to be a bit older than Sweeneym even considering the spoiler stuff.

"I just hope Nathan Lane stays far away from this one. I want this movie to be good."

LOL

Well, since Nathan Lane always plays Nathan Lane, hopefully we won't see him in the movie, as none of the characters in "Sweeney Todd" resemble him in any way. Let's hope the casting people will also see it that way.

In regards to Streep's and Crowe's age difference....I thought that Lansbury looked older than Cariou, and have kinda got the impression that Sweeney Todd is a bit younger than Mrs. Lovett....if not, well that what make-up artist are there for, and you can make someone look older much easier than look younger!!!

U Guys are Great!
Streep and Crowe are Fine with me
She gets Top Billing and I don't like Him
But if helps get this made I will gladly not like him in this
Toni as the BeggerWoman YES!
she scared the pants off me in WILD PARTY
my Perfect Anthony and Joanna are
Michael Arden and Anne Hathaway
Right Ages and THEY can SING IT
Fer Fun: Josh Groban as Pirelli
a classy entrance to the movies fer him
of course none of them is English
and there are many Fine Musical Actors in or around London
Imelda was Amazing in INTO THE WOODS and so was Julie
Let's just all Hope this gets done soon and well
Keep up the Chatter!
and a Child as Tobias is chillin
maybe a castradi?

I'd make Streep the beggarwoman. I can't see her as Mrs Lovett. What no response to Julie Walters as Mrs Lovett? She's perfect.

So you're saying that classical singing is easy? That in fact, it's pointless spending up to 8 years minium training a voice, because you can teach russell crowe to sing the same in 6 months?

Russell Crowe can sing....just not well, or on key.

Wasn't Kelsey Grammar considered for Sweeny at one stage? What happened to that?

"Jennifer Saunders would be PERFECT for the Beggar Woman...and Joanna Lumley would be PERFECT for Mrs. Lovett!!!"

Actually, Joanna Lumley has already played Mrs. Lovett, in a non-musical film version of Sweeney Todd from a few years ago. I believe Campbell Scott played Sweeney...
