We are sure most of you know by now that Johnny and Tim Burtons new movie, Sweeney Todd is getting ready to premiere next month. Among all the excitement, we thought that a lot of you would be interested in learning a little about the story of Sweeney Todd and some of the planning that has preceded the opening of this original endeavor that Johnny has chosen to partake in.
The story of Sweeney Todd is legendary among those in London and holds a kind of mystery not unlike Jack the Ripper. The actual Sweeney was born in London’s East End in October of 1756. He was arrested and served a five-year prison term when he was wrongly accused of stealing a pocket watch. He gained his barber skills in prison when he learned the trade from another barber named Plummer. After he was released he took a few pounds he had stolen in prison and set up his shop next to the St. Dustan’s Church. Sweeney’s shop stood right down the street from his longtime girlfriend Margery Lovett’s bar where she made her famous meat pies. The first murder happened right on the streets of London, where a man was seen arguing with a barber. The barber was seen to take out his white coat; he slit the other man’s throat with a barber’s blade and ran off into the fog. The story of Sweeney’s shop tells of customers who would go for a barber visit and never return.
Happily we have to announce, that we added two new members to the JDorg staff.
1. as Conny could not manage the galleries/magazines section anymore, Jenna will do her job in the future. Jenna already donated many screencaps to the site before and is active member in the forums. I’m sure, she will do a great job.
2. lizzy4depp has joined us to bring us lots of info. She’ll write for JDorg in the future. That’s what we always needed: someone bringing this site content, and we’ve found such a talented person.
As a stand-in-present, lizzy4depp already brought us some stuff, which you can read:
– she re-wrote the first part of the biography, which will become longer and longer now. The following years are in work.
– she wrote an essay about the history of Sweeney Todd, which is absolutely informative and should be read!
– and an essay about Johnny himself
Johnny has been nominated for the People’s Choice Awards for favourite male action star as well as favourite male movie star. POTC3 – At World’s End has been nominated for favourite movie and favourite threequel.
The PCA are voted on by the American public. Winners will be announced and honoured in a televised cerimony at the Shrine Auditiorium in Los Angeles on Jan. 8th, 2008.

Sadly, we have to annouce, that Conny, who has handled the Magazines section at Johnny-Depp.org since the site exists,
has come into big personal trouble and has to take a longer break from doing the galleries/magazines.
So I am looking for someone who would like to take over the section.
//EDIT: found one! Will announce it soon.
This week, the cover story of the Entertainment Weekly is about the upcoming movie Sweeney Todd. In this issue from November 9th, they write about the film and offer an interview with Johnny.

CINEMA’S DEMON BARBER
Witty, often elegant and always unpredictable, the films of Tim Burton have created a special niche for themselves within contemporary cinema. A born spinner of tall tales, whose subjects have ranged from Martians to Z-list Hollywood directors to, now; the Demon barber of fleet Street, Burton takes audiences places they’d never thought they’d go—and in ways they couldn’t have imagined. We’re delighted to welcome Tim Burton for an evening of conversation, clips featuring some of the greatest moments from his films, and a “first look” at footage from his eagerly anticipated screen adaptation of Sweeney Todd: The Demon barber of Fleet Street, marking his sixth collaboration with Johnny Depp.
