"Empire Online" have an article about last night's premiere of Sweeney Todd in London here.

Alan Rickman reveals a well kept secret of film-making: Actors tend to use props. ;)

Alan Rickman, who seems oblivious to the fact that he’s best known for being bad ("I really haven’t played that many villains"), also gets the chance to sing - albeit with ( Read more... )
