According to anonymous sources, director Tim Burton and actor Johnny Depp, who together have worked on five major motion pictures will team once more for the upcoming movie musical adaptation of Stephen Sondheim’s ‘Sweeney Todd.’
‘Sweeney Todd’ first opened on Broadway in 1979 and is currently on Broadway in its second revival. Depp will portray title character Sweeney Todd – the demon barber of Fleet Street – who slits the throats of his innocent (and not-so-innocent) customers.
An official announcement is expected in the coming weeks.
