PREVIEW: Sweeney Todd

Johnny Depp in his signature style, appeared at the New York premiere of the Tim Burton's Sweeney Todd last night.

The film is scheduled to release on December 21st and after the screening critics have been saying wonderful things about the remake of the classic musical and about Depp's performance.

“Depp is the movie’s heart and guts… The musical numbers ooze with Sondheim’s audacious wit and scathing lyrics… Teaming with Depp, his long-time alter ego, Burton makes Sweeney a smoldering dark pit of fury and hate that consumes itself. With his sturdy acting and surprisingly good voice, Depp is a Sweeney Todd for the ages.”
- The Hollywood Reporter

“This is the film to beat for Best Picture this year; the only “big” picture that is also a work of art. Academy voters should eat it up, pun intended.”
