Emma Thompson would have been a good choice as would have Toni Collette.

"Blowsey as in just out of bed, been through the mill."
I'd say she's that too in that film, and in real life actually.

I loved him, but he didn't love me. I wanted him, but he didn't want me. Then the gods had a spree and indulged in another whim. Now he loves me, but I don't love him." - Cole Porter

Well, okay, maybe not just out of bed, but I'm sure they can make her look worn out and a bit dowdy in the film.

How about Blanchett? She is the Meryl Streep of our generation. She could play the hell out of Lovett!

As much as I would like to see Streep play Mrs. Lovett, and as much as I enjoy reading this thread and the controversy it brings...perhaps we should wait until we have this confirmed by a reliable source before we start criticizing her acting capabilities and her accents. Which, with Burton directing, God only knows what is instore for us.
Just a thought...
