Depp and Burton, Together Again
His skin isn't pale and his eye isn't odd, but that's not stopping Johnny Depp from playing Sweeney Todd.
DreamWorks Studios announced Wednesday that the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise star will be wielding the Demon Barber of Fleet Street's straight razor in Tim Burton's upcoming adaptation of the Tony-winning Stephen Sondheim musical. And yes, Depp will be doing his own singing.
Sweeney Todd marks the sixth time that Burton will be telling Depp what to do. Since directing Depp in Edward Scissorhands in 1990, the two have worked together on Ed Wood, Sleepy Hollow, Tim Burton's Corpse Bride and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
And true to form, their latest collaboration should be no less strange, unsettling or visually stunning.
The darkly comedic musical thriller Sweeney Todd, set in Victorian London, is the story of the title character's determination to exact revenge against the judge and constable who wrongfully imprisoned him. Let's just say, heads roll--often right into the meat pies that Todd's landlady, Mrs. Lovett, cheerfully and maniacally prepares for her unwitting customers.
Production on Burton's latest movie is slated to begin early next year in time for a late 2007 release.
Perhaps this latest venture will take Burton's mind off of the film adaptation he isn't currently making--Ripley's Believe It or Not with Jim Carrey.
Set to start filming in November, Paramount Pictures put the project indefinitely on hold in June after its budget topped $150 million. But studio reps maintain that Burton and Carrey are still attached to the film and still interested in making the creative (i.e. budget-slashing) changes necessary to get the cameras rolling.
It's still a pirate's life for Depp, though. While he's busy filming Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End, Dead Man's Chest has raked in enough booty--$858 million worldwide so far--to keep Captain Jack Sparrow sailing the high seas forever.
