Sweeney Todd Premiere Japan
Sweeney Todd Premiere Japan
Johnny not at Golden Globes
Although Johnny is nominated for a Golden Globe this year, he may not appear at the Golden Globes show –
Hollywood stars including all the nominated actors and actresses are set to boycott the Golden Globes ceremony in support of striking writers, jeopardising one of the entertainment industry’s most prestigious events.
He will also not be at the People’s Choice Awards on January 8th –
instead of that, the Sweeney Todd premiere in Japan will take place.
So sad, we miss the chance to see you one more time in one of your wonderful acceptance speeches, Johnny, but we support that!

Johnny comes out on top!!!!!!
Congratulations to you Johnny! Johnny was the named the number one box office draw of the year 2007. This is the second year that he has claimed this honor! The survey conducted and published by the Quigley Publishing Co. is a result of the theater exhibitors report of who brought in the most crowds in the past year to all theaters.This honor has been named every year since 1932 and is a long tradition in the entertainment industry. Johnny beat out Wil Smith and Matt Damon to name a few. Although you all know that money is not an important issue to Johnny, we are sure that he will be honored to know that he is the number one actor that the public wants to see. This is a direct implication of their appreciation for his art and his life?s work!! Congratulations to you Johnny!! Your always our number one!

Esquire, January 2008 – Depp and Burton
Title: Depp and Burton

Tim Burton: There are partnerships where one person is good at one thing and the other is good at another. That’s true in our case! But we’re very connected in terms of taste.
Johnny Depp: Even when we first met, we connected on all these superabsurd levels.
TB: A fascination for weird seventies objets d’art.
JD I remember, growing up, we had this concrete cobra spray-painted gold.
TB: We’re from different parts of the country. But there is a kind of suburban white-trashy connective strand there. Isn’t there?
JD: Yep.
TB: The stories that scared us as children.
JD: Mr. Green Jeans.
TB: Seeing Humphrey Bogart playing a monster. He only did one horror movie and—
JD: We both knew it.
TB: The Return of Dr. X. When something like that comes up, you realize, Yeah, perfect. Things that don’t normally come up in most people’s conversations are things that come up a lot in ours.
JD: We speak in a sort of shorthand.
TB: It’s not literal. We’ll cross-reference things that wouldn’t really make sense to the normal person.
JD: One time, Tim and I were talking before we were getting ready to shoot. Afterward,

What’s black and white and black and white and black and white and red? Forget the unfortunate clergy in those old schoolyard jokes: the best answer to the riddle has to be Tim Burton’s film version of the Stephen Sondheim musical Sweeney Todd: the Demon Barber of Fleet Street. Those who know the story – which features abundant throat-slashing, dismemberment and cannibalism—shouldn’t be surprised by the film’s copious quantities of bright-red blood. The black-and-white parts of the equation comes courtesy of the movie’s high-contrast look, which is partly a product of the skip—bleach process Burton and his cinematographer, Dariusz Wolski, apply to the images. The palette also derives from Dante Ferretti’s production design, Colleen Atwood’s costumes, and perhaps most strikingly from the faces of Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter, a matched pair of cadaverously make—up stars.
Depp plays the title character, an unjustly incarcerated London barber of the mid 19th century who returns to avenge himself on humanity by cutting more than his clients’ whiskers. Bonham Carter is Mrs. Lovett, the restaurateur who helps Todd dispose of his victims by grinding them up and baking them in her meat pies. This ghoulish enterprise is mirrored in the visages of the actors,
