An Admirers' Site Dedicated to Johnny Depp and His Work
Just throwing out some little news here. Johnny was nominated again for another Nickelodeon Kids Choice Award. He is nominated for “Favorite Male Actor” and “Pirates” is also nominated again. This may not seem like a big award to us, but Johnny has said that it means alot to him and that he usually attends this award show. So keep your eyes open, He may show up! Votes are being taken starting on March 3 online and the show is going to be broadcast on March 29th.
Today this site, Johnny-Depp.org has its 4th birthday.
February 4th, 2004, it went online with the domain johnnydepp-archives.com with a horrible layout and less German-English content. After I could get the domain johnny-depp.org from a friend, and with the help of so wonderful staffers, it went bigger and bigger and is now, after 4 years, a wide known site with at least acceptable layouts and a lot of content.
Feel free to congratulate JDorg in the guestbook or ask your questions about the history of this site in the faq

Title: Sweeney Todd
Author: Kim Newman
Publication: UK- Empire
Issue: February 2008
Everybody knows the story of Sweeney Todd, the barber who cut his customers’ throats and turned the corpses over to his criminal partner Mrs Lovett to be cooked up in meat pies. Debate persists as to whether he was an actual historical character, but the Demon Barber Of Fleet Street has been prominent in our national gallery of horrors since the middle of the19th century.
The usual version of the tale – as enshrined in Victorian penny dreadful, sensationalist theatre and a ramshackle but wonderful 1936 vehicle for aptly named British horror star Tod Slaughter – is all about crime. Sweeney Todd’s methods may he gruesome, but he’s primarily in it for the money (the early versions of the story are titled after the loot, The String Of Pearls). Then in I968, playwright Christopher Bond came up with a new take, drawing on Jacobean revenge tragedy and populist melodrama in which horribly violent stories expose social inequities. This reading caught the attention of composer-lyricist Stephen Sondheim, who adapted it into a dark, bloody 1979 Broadway (and West End) musical which has understandably never enjoyed the long carriage-trade runs much lesser shows have managed, but is acclaimed as a peak of the form.
This masterpiece has proved a daunting movie prospect: the few films of other Sondheim shows haven’t been hits,

Title: Johnny Sings
Author: Gavin Edwards
Publication: Rolling Stone
Issue: January 24, 2008
Attend the tale of Johnny Depp: still Hollywood’s most perverse superstar, he has followed up the family-friendly Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy with Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, a buckets-of-blood saga of cannibalism that is also -gulp!- a musical. That’s right, Depp sings for the first time ever onscreen, and critics are warbling his praises for tackling the notoriously difficult score from theater legend Stephen Sondheim. This gripping adaptation of the 1979 Broadway hit is the sixth movie Depp has done with director Tim Burton, for whom he’s played misfits from Edward Scissorhands to Ed Wood. But a full-out musical is a first for both of them. And the pain-wracked intensity Depp brings to this London barber obsessed with revenge is sparking Oscar talk.
Today Depp meets me in a suite at the Chateau Marmont in Hollywood. His jeans are ripped, and his black shirt is open at the neck to reveal a gonzo necklace, a tribute to his late friend, Hunter S. Thompson. Depp looks around the tastefully appointed room. “They’ve really done this place up,” he says. “I lived in the Chateau for a while, years ago, and it was dingy but great. It was like they bought the couches from the Ramada Inn that was closed down by the Health Department in 1970.” Depp has come a long way from his childhood in Kentucky,
