I know that there are posts on here for Sweeney movie cast members and for Mrs. Lovett in the movie, along with Johanna, etc, but what about Judge Turpin? Who would you want cast as Judge Turpin in the Sweeney Todd movie?
My first thought was Christopher Lee, but some others would be Tim Curry, and Christopher Walken(If Hairspray wraps filming before Sweeney starts).

Posted: 10/14/06 at 2:19pmIsn't Jim Broadbent doing this? I would like Bob Hoskins.

Mickey Rooney is a great idea. But, unfortunately, it does seem that it's going to be Jim Broadbent.
Actually, I do love him and he will probably be very good. I was kind of hoping it would be Len Cariou, but Broadbent is a terrific choice.

Regis Philbin....just kidding.
But I do like the idea of Victor Garber.
But I think that if I knew who was playing Johanna I could think of a good match.

Posted: 10/14/06 at 4:55pmChristopher Lee. It nearly seems likely as he has frequently been cast in Burton films (i.e. "Sleepy Hollow," "Corpse Bride," "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory")

Posted: 10/14/06 at 7:05pmBut Jim Broadbent has been cast, so why bother speculating.

Posted: 10/14/06 at 7:14pmYa never know, Jon. Look at Jennifer Jason Leigh and Eyes Wide Shut. She was done filming her entire part in it, but when Kubrick wanted re-shoots she was unavailable so she was replaced.

Percy: Sink me! If it isn't Javvurt!
Javert: Zsah-vair, it's pronounced Zsah-vair.
Pecry: But it's spelled J-A-V-E-R-T Javvurt.
Javert: Repeat after me Zsah...Zsah....
Percy: Oh! Zsa-Zsa! Like the Gabor sister! Well I personally have always prefered Eva.
Javert: (Looks for gun)
