Sweeney Todd updates

Technical problems have prevented any news being posted in a while, so here is a quick update on the latest Burton news. Alan Rickman has been cast as Judge Turpin in Sweeney Todd. There are also rumours that Anthony Stewart Head (Giles in Buffy the Vampire Slayer) will play a role in the film.
In other news, The Nightmare Before Christmas 3D is now on release in the UK and Empire Magazine has an interview with Burton on their site.

Alan Rickman will be fantastic as the Judge. And Christopher Lee is back! He's playing some character named Jonas Fogg. Jim Broadbent is playing the Beadle. Laura Michelle Kelly is playing the Beggar Woman.

Can't wait for this movie.

I know this has nothing to do with this subject, and I hate to be a bother but does anyone know what that music is from the the very first Corpse Bride preview. It had a Harpsicord at the beggining then a kind of "tick tock tick tock" in the background. I loved that peice.

I know this is off topic, but did anyone see the preview for Black Christmas? It makes me excited because everytime I see it, it reminds me of Sweeney Todd. I can't wait untill Jan.!! Theres only a few things different in the movies discirption. I mean that they both have something in common, they both chop people up.

So true, bonanza. He's brilliant, isn't he...?...and this type of film is perfectly suited to his style. I'm getting more and more anxious to see this thing.

anonymous, the piece in the begining of Corpse Bride was called "According to Plan" and it's also the very first musical song in the movie.

I think everyone will enjoy the new talent of Jamie Bower as Anthony in Sweeney. He's cute, English, untried in films, but will win lots of friends!
