Posted: 11/2/07 at 10:49amEverytime I see pictures from the film, I keep thinking that Sweeney Todd should not be that hot.

I wish they'd done something a little more stylistic with Rickman's hair.
It looks very modern in all the shots I've seen.

It's interesting what Depp says about his singing in the interview:
>>>Did Sondheim have any good advice for you?
He said to me early on, it was much more about the acting work than the singing. He felt the singing was secondary to hitting the notes emotionally. I didn't believe him. [Laughs] I think he was probably saying that to make me feel better about what I was about to attempt.
And what did that feel like?
Frightening. Really frightening! When Tim asked if I'd be into it, he said, 'Do you think you can sing?' And I said, 'Honestly, I don't know.' I'm not tone deaf, so I knew I could stay in key to some degree. But I didn't know if I could sustain a note, or belt one out.
You were in a number of rock and roll bands before you became an actor. Didn't you do any singing in those?
Virtually none. Just backup.
And yet Sondheim approved you without an audition.
Sondheim, bless him, had barely heard me talk. So when he said, 'He'll be fine,' it was a real shock.'<<

Posted: 11/2/07 at 1:09pmSondheim (in his own interview for BBC radio) said he was asked to approve Helena and the rest of the casting... but not Depp or Burton, because the project included them from the very start, as part of the initial deal.

You're reminding me of people you hear at the movies asking questions every ten seconds, "Who is that? Why is that guy walking down the street? Who's that lady coming up to him? Uh-oh, why did that car go by? Why is it so dark in this theater?" - FindingNamo on strummergirl
"If artists were machines, then I'm just a different kind of machine...I'd probably be a toaster. Actually, I'd be a toaster oven because they're more versatile. And I like making grilled cheese" -Regina Spektor
"That's, like, twelve shows! ...Or seven." -Crazy SA Fangirl
"They say that just being relaxed is the most important thing [in acting]. I take that to another level, I think kinda like yawning and...like being partially asleep onstage is also good, but whatever." - Sherie Rene Scott

The Alternative Sweeney... heheheheheheheohGod...
'I'm sure people will think, Aah, it's because I've slept with Tim,' she says. 'But I didn't sleep with Sondheim'
Oh my God, that was hilarious.
Sondheim is equally pleased with Depp. 'There are very few people who can act and sing at the same time,' he says. 'He's one.'
Well... that's good...
