Johnny Depp to star in ‘Sweeney Todd’
Actor will play title role in Burton's film adaptation of Sondheim musical
LOS ANGELES - Johnny Depp is going from woozy buccaneer to murderous barber.
Depp is reuniting with director Tim Burton (“Charlie and the Chocolate Factory”) to play the title role in a film adaptation of Stephen Sondheim’s musical “Sweeney Todd,” about a 19th-century barber seeking bloody revenge over his wrongful imprisonment.
The star of “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest,” this year’s biggest hit with a domestic gross of $400 million, is expected to do his own singing, said Marvin Levy, spokesman for DreamWorks, which is co-producing “Sweeney Todd” with Warner Bros.
“Sweeney Todd” marks the sixth collaboration between Depp and Burton, who scored a blockbuster in summer 2005 with “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory,” in which the actor played the reclusive candyman Willy Wonka.
Their other films together are “Tim Burton’s Corpse Bride,” “Edward Scissorhands,” “Ed Wood” and “Sleepy Hollow.”
The filmmakers plan to start shooting “Sweeney Todd” early in 2007.

OH OH OH OH OH!!!! I'm so excited...I think I need to go and change my pants...pardon.
Teeheehee, I really love Johnny Depp. He's such an amazing craftsman, with his characters...he's so damn talented and he's so yummy! *fangirl goes squeee*
Yeah, I know...don't even say it...I know.
I hung out with John Dunwoody tonight. We swapped stories of drunken fun and crazy drunken times and talked about how much we both miss the city and how life in orlando strongly contrasts with life in the city. I love it so much, I can't wait to go back. Seriously. John and i also tried to figure out what I'm going to write my senior research about. I still don't know...I think it's on the verge somewhere, but I just don't know. Maybe I'll do something with New York City...hmmm, what about seeing if I could prove if the interpersonal skills of actors are better on the average as compared to your everyday human being. Not that actors aren't everyday human beings too...but wouldn't the interpersonal skills of actors have to be better because they have to be believable storytellers in a fictitious situation? I guess I would also have to prove that being better interpersonal communicators also improves their quality of life or something like that? Or maybe it improves their communicative skills in their everyday relationships?
I heart brainstorming. It drives me crazy. Do any of those ideas make any sense whatsoever? Please let me know! I'm desperate. Well, not quite...but I will be a lot more easygoing once I nail this topic to the floor.
More yoga in the morning...I think I'm hooked!
Lotsa love!
