Sweeney ToddYahoo! Movies has the theatrical trailer for Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, the Tim Burton-directed film adaptation of the Stephen Sondheim Broadway musical thriller.

The film stars Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, Alan Rickman, Timothy Spall and Sacha Baron Cohen, and hits theaters on December 21, 2007, with a wide release in January 2008.

OFFICIAL SYNOPSIS

Johnny Depp and Tim Burton join forces again in a big-screen adaptation of Stephen Sondheim’s award-winning musical thriller “Sweeney Todd.” Depp stars in the title role as a man unjustly sent to prison who vows revenge, not only for that cruel punishment, but for the devastating consequences of what happened to his wife and daughter. When he returns to reopen his barber shop, Sweeney Todd becomes the Demon Barber of Fleet Street who “shaved the heads of gentlemen who never thereafter were heard from again.” Joining Depp is Helena Bonham Carter as Mrs. Lovett, Sweeney’s amorous accomplice, who creates diabolical meat pies. The cast also includes Alan Rickman, who portrays the evil Judge Turpin, who sends Sweeney to prison and Timothy Spall as the Judge’s wicked associate Beadle Bamford and Sacha Baron Cohen is a rival barber, the flamboyant Signor Adolfo Pirelli.

The Parkes/MacDonald and Zanuck Company production is based on a musical by Stephen Sondheim and Hugh Wheeler from an adaptation of Christopher Bond’s play. Music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim.

  2. Cannot wait. And that they’re keeping this a musical at it’s heart makes me a thousand shades of happy. I am just *shocked* by Depp’s vocal ability in this!
