    I hope depp can sing, he kinda seemed to avoid it in charlie and the chocolate factory, as well as in corpse bride... Still love his acting though.

  7. They can't collaborate enough in my opinion. I wish they could crank out a movie a couple of times a year!

    As much as I love both Depp and Burton's collaborations, I think Burton needs to take a breather from Depp and work with some other actors. I'm in no way saying they should never work together again. I just would like to see some fresh faces in Burton's movies.
    Other than that, I'm psyched to see this because it's Sweeny Todd, and that's amazing!! Burton will do an amazing job of this!

    For whoever was asking about music.

    This is a musical. The music has been written by Sondheim.

  17. I have every ounce of faith that Johnny can sing. I remember him performing with The Pogues back in "94" as the article says. That man has unquestionable talent in so very many areas. :::grins:::

    Yes Depp can sing, he used to be in a band before he was an actor... he actually fell into being an actor because he had no money and his friend Nicolas Cage told him to just audition for a part and he got it. He used to play lead guitar and vocals. He has played guitar with some big bands as a guest guitarist, so I have no doubt that he we do an amazing job as Todd!

    Depp is one of the best actors I know, he can play whatever he wants, I'm sure he'll be great as Sweeney Todd, as he is great as Willy Wonka or Jack Sparrow.
    Burton and Depp make great things together! Love 'em

    yaaaa, I too think it is great! Tim Burton's movies are always great when Depp is playing in them, his perfect match. I wonder what Depp is going to be like as a killer?OHHH...the suspence! I can't wait, this is like the first time Tim and Depp has done a new suspence with a killer in it! CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!!

    ReplyDelete

    Yes, I do know I have all of his movies! I was saying that Depp and Burton has not done any killing things together. Mars Attacks was just aleins that were animated not real people anyway, sorry for the confusion.

    Actually come to think of it they did do one sene where Edward killed that man and pushed him out the window. But that wasn't like bloody/gore kind of movie. This one sounds like it kinda is... but ya, thats about it.

    ReplyDelete
  41. I'd almost forgotten that part of "Edward". I guess that was meant to show just how far society can push even the most innocent of people...so....no, thatdoesn't really count...and the aliens, well, yeah, they were computer-generated , weren't they.....?...but let's not get technical . They did "fry" quite a fewcharacters. :::grins:::

    I think he is an amazing choice even if Burton wasn't directing it, because Todd has to be twisted and normal! How exciting!! and of course he can sing he wouldn't be starring in a musical if he couldn't.
