Burton + Depp + Sharp Objects = Kick Ass

Call him "Edward Razorhands" if you like, but Johnny Depp will be back on the screen in a Tim Burton directed flick this Christmas, this time playing the infamous revenge-minded slasher Sweeney Todd. YouTube has the new trailer for the film Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, which you can watch below. Tim Burton has proven he's got the chops for atmospheric horror--I personally found Sleepy Hollow to be one of the '90s most underrated movies. But he's also notoriously erratic. Will this one be another Ed Wood...or another Planet of the Apes?

  1. Brilliant! For this alone I am so glad I clicked on your link in the blog directory. Just love Johnny Depp and Tim Burton and this looks like a treat. My husband, being from UK, always goes on about Sweeney Todd. Depp did a great job in From Hell so we know he can do the horror flicks and Sleepy Hollow was fantastic so this looks set to be a great ride in my opinion. I shall have to link to you so I don't miss out on these updates.

  2. It does look great, doesn't it? Glad to see another From Hell admirer--that movie really gets sadly overlooked. And thanks for your interest in the blog, definitely keep checking back. I update every day, as you can see!
