Johnny Depp In Gory Sweeney Todd Trailer

Now, I got extremely excited when the first Sweeney Todd trailer came out a few weeks back and this time is no different. A second trailer for the movie has found its way online. This time, there is less singing and music and more than expected blood and gory bits - great! It may be that the two different trailers show how Paramount are marketing the film at two different audiences.

Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street stars Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, Alan Rickman, Timothy Spall and Sacha Baron Cohen - sounds like a great cast to me! The official plot synopsis follows below. You can watch the new trailer by clicking here.

‘Johnny Depp and Tim Burton join forces again in a big-screen adaptation of Stephen Sondheim’s award-winning musical thriller “Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street.” Depp stars in the title role as a man unjustly sent to prison who vows revenge, not only for that cruel punishment, but for the devastating consequences of what happened to his wife and daughter. When he returns to reopen his barber shop, Sweeney Todd becomes the Demon Barber of Fleet Street who “shaved the faces of gentlemen who never thereafter were heard of again.” Joining Depp is Helena Bonham Carter as Mrs. Lovett, Sweeney’s amorous accomplice, who creates diabolical meat pies. The cast also includes Alan Rickman, who portrays the evil Judge Turpin, who sends Sweeney to prison, Timothy Spall as the Judge’s wicked associate Beadle Bamford and Sacha Baron Cohen as a rival barber, the flamboyant Signor Adolfo Pirelli.’
