I read online today that it is confirmed Tim Burton is directing and Johnny Depp is starring in the film version of Sweeney Todd. Honestly, I'm not sure how I feel about this. First I don't think this musical needs to be brought to film. I think is stand up on its own just fine on stage. Secondly, I like Tim Burton and all. Visually the guy's a genius, but let's face it besides Edward Scissorhand and Big Fish, how much depth have his films had? I mean there are definately aspects of the musical I can see him handling very well, but I just wonder if he can affect me when it ends (like the play did.) And lastly I like Johnny Depp, but as Sweeney Todd? He's too eccentric, not bruting and intimidating enough, he can pull off creepy, but it's not the same. Maybe I'm wrong...

YOU'RE WRONG. It's going to be completely amazing. Do you know how incredible it is going to be with Tim Burton being the film??? And how can you discount his other films. Hello??? Mars Attacks, Ed Wood, Pee Wee's Big Adventure, BeetleJuice just to name a few. And don't get me started with Johnny Depp. He will make an amazing Mr. Todd. He has the eerieness, the introverted quality, the vocal ability to master the character. How dare you say this shouldn'e be done.
I am so mad at you right now.
And pardon all my previous typos. I am not only mad at you, but I am currently IM'ing you telling you how mad I am so it's a little hard to type perfectly right now.
