No one's in the chair, come on, come on! Sweeney's waiting - I want you, Burton!
I have seen what IMDB claims are the first photos of Johnny Depp as Sweeney Todd.
Please. Let. These. Be. A. Joke.
Please tell me they're Sleepy Hollow's leftovers.
He's - he's supposed to be older! Older! Not undead and greying streakily! (not to mention that most Sweeneys are, you know, at least a little portly or stout, whereas Johnny looks delightfully slim, his ass especially in the fourth picture.)
Tim Burton, I trusted you. I said, "Tim Burton is directing this? It's going to go all to hell! - wait. It's all about dark, twisted humour, which is the only thing Tim Burton knows how to do! I can't believe I'm saying this, but it might actually be good!" I was pushing for you even through your casting the same actors you ALWAYS cast, even though no one knows if they can sing (and Johnny Depp has refused to sing in other movies, even Crybaby, which was? what? A MUSICAL.). I was so impressed that you actually decided to - this is crazy - work with Sondheim's music instead of having Danny Elfman rewrite everything, which I honestly wouldn't put past you!
But this is unacceptable. Shape up or ship out.
Disdain,
Elana
