Sweeney Todd Site

The Sweeney Todd site has gone live and contains the official synopsis:

Johnny Depp and Tim Burton join forces again in a big-screen adaptation of Stephen Sondheim’s award-winning musical thriller Sweeney Todd. Depp stars in the title role as a man unjustly sent to prison who vows revenge, not only for that cruel punishment, but for the devastating consequences of what happened to his wife and daughter. When he returns to reopen his barber shop, Sweeney Todd becomes the Demon Barber of Fleet Street who “shaved the heads of gentlemen who never thereafter were heard from again.” Joining Depp is Helena Bonham Carter as Mrs. Lovett, Sweeney’s amorous accomplice, who creates diabolical meat pies. The cast also includes Alan Rickman, who portrays the evil Judge Turpin, who sends Sweeney to prison and Timothy Spall as the Judge’s wicked associate Beadle Bamford and Sacha Baron Cohen is a rival barber, the flamboyant Signor Adolfo Pirelli.

Movie Minesweeper - The I've Been Busy With A Beard Edition

- Access Hollywood have 16 pictures and a bit of hype for the upcoming Bionic Woman rehash, starring sometime Eastender Michelle Ryan.

- Helena Bonham Carter has spoken to the Telegraph and mentioned such films as Fight Club, Sweeney Todd and Harry Potter 5.

- Hatchet has apparently been branded NC-17 by the MPAA. That's only a problem because the chain multiplexes now won't touch it. My suggested solution? A lot more NC-17 films. The chains will have to budge then.

- Sam Bain and Jesse Armstrong have talked Magicians (seen it, is good, review coming tomorrow) to The Scotsman.

- Icon are to release Christopher McQuarrie's The Stanford Prison Experiment. I bet it thrashes Oliver Hirschbiegel's film hands-down.

Normal service will be resumed as of Monday.
