Short chat with Tim Burton -
What can horror fans can expect from Sweeney Todd? Burton: The goal was to make a good, old horror movie. One of the things Johnny and I talked about was the good old horror movies and horror movie actors, like Peter Lorre or Boris Karloff, Lon Chaney, the kind of acting style you don’t really see much anymore. This seemed like the right material to kind of do that, a real old horror movie. In addition to the general challenges of adapting a stage production into a film, how are you handling the play’s humor/horror balance? Burton: I tried to follow the same [format]. That’s what I loved about it, is that it had a mixture of horror and humor and emotion and sadness, beauty, that’s what I love about it so we tried to keep it all in there. What are you working on next? Burton: Just this [Sweeney Todd]. I’ve enjoyed making this and I’m going to try and savor it for awhile. Your thoughts on the horror genre in general? Burton: It’s always been around, it always will be around, it’s great. I grew up watching it, all forms of it so I’m a fan of pretty much all horror. What keeps horror fans coming back for more? Burton: It’s a catharsis. It lets it out of their system, it’s good. SWEENEY TODD hits theaters everywhere December 21.

I am excited but skeptical... Oh, so so skeptical... I like Burton when he's gothic (Nightmare, Batman, Ed Wood), but I thought that Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory was so incredibly abysmal...
I was veritably THRILLED when I saw a poster for the film... But the ad has turned me off a wee bit... I just hope it isn't too over the top (I seriously hated Big Fish)... Please don't muck up, Burton.

Some footage of Johnny Depp singing in this flick has started circulating. I posted the video on my blog today:

This looks like it will be a good film. Johnny Depp is a favourite actor of mine. Also, i love Tim Burtons movies and how he shoots his films all dark and atmospheric.

tend to agree - Burton creates a great gothic atmosphere and this is a classic tale. As long as he and Depp do not go over the top!
Will be interesting to see how Sacha plays in a genuine horror. Will have to go some to compete with the Ray Winstone version that almost had you feeling sorry for Sweeney!

Yeh, this should be a fun watch. And that chair thing looks good. But I'm not a big fan of musicals and hope that they don't fill it out too much with songs.

It was excellent. The acting was great, the singing was appropriate, and the whole thing was just damn dark and bloody :)
