New York Post – Michael Riedel.
JOHNNY Depp checked out the hit revival of “Sweeney Todd” last weekend, prompting speculation that Edward Scissorhands would soon swap his shears for a razor and some Barbasol.
Depp is indeed interested in playing the Demon Barber of Fleet Street, but on the big screen, not on Broadway.
He and director Tim Burton are fans of the Stephen Sondheim musical and have been discussing the possibility of doing a movie version.
Any thoughts on who should play Mrs. Lovett?
