Jim Broadbent to join cast of Sweeney Todd?
The latest rumour about Sweeney Todd is that Oscar-winning actor Jim Broadbent, who was to star in the new movie version of Hairspray, will now appear in Burton's musical instead. Curiously, Broadbent will be replaced in Hairspray by Burton regular Christopher Walken. Read more about this story here.

That's interesting.
Yay! I <3 Jim Broadbent! Zidler! This makes me very happy, can't wait for Sweeney Todd! ^_^d
Interesting news, to be sure...though I would have liked to see Mr. Walken co-star in Sweeny Todd. He looked like he was having fun in Sleepy Hollow.
das ist sehr gut!
Oooh, Walken would have been cool too. Ah well, he can be in the next movie! :3
Anyone have thoughts on Broadbent's potential role??
My instincts say that he would play either the Judge or Pirelli.
who?
True, "bunners" :::smiles::: I'm sure Mr. Burton will find something for him in the near future..., I hope.
I get a smile? ^_^
I think Jim Broadbent is good for a Tim Burton movie because he can play "big" roles, y'know?
Just had to smile at the name, "bunners". Heh. Anyway, upon reading a bit more about Mr. Broadbent and recalling him in that loopy Monty Python film "Time Bandits", I must admit he's an excellent choice. But then, the actors chosen to be in Burton's films have always been spot-on. This is gonna be a good one. Seeing Johnny Depp as a singing , psychotic English butcher will be worth the price of the ticket alone. Can't wait !
Broadbent was in Moulin Rouge as well, so he does have musical film experience. I will probably have to wait a few years to see this though, since it most likely will have a restricted rating.
Wooohooo! Christopher Walken!
:-D Plopcorn.:-D
i rekon itll be the judge, great part, great man, it fits :D i cant believe johnny depps got to have suinging lessons bless him... me and my mate are trying to get auditions for the film no success as yet but i wont give up untill they start filming!
God, that's gonna be fun, isn't it? Can't wait. Wish I could do a bit of it, myself. Good luck, anon...
I wish I could audition... :-(
Jim's probably being considered for Judge Turpin. I really doubt he could be a good Pirelli as someone suggested- he's far too old and would need a VERY high singing voice.
I think he's a great actor so I hope this is legit.
Together with brilliant actor Johnny Depp, horror movie icon Christopher Lee must be in the movie too
It is fantastic to see Depp, Lee and Burton working together
Ah, yes....Christopher Lee....There's never been a better Dracula....Love those old Hammer films....and didn't he look like he was having fun in CATCF ?
