Sing a Song of Sweeney Todd

Sing a Song of Severus Snape…well, almost! Given the keen interest in the upcoming Tim Burton film “Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street,” we thought you might enjoy the brand new trailer, which you can see here. Caution to Parents: this trailer contains some intense scenes with violence, and is not suitable for younger children.

This Sweeney Todd film is based on the classic Tony Award- winning musical from Stephen Sondheim, and stars several actors from the Harry Potter films including the brilliant Alan Rickman (Severus Snape), Helena Bonham Carter (Bellatrix Lestrange), and Timothy Spall (Peter Pettigrew). Enjoy!

It looks fabulous but we didn’t hear much vocal and what we did hear wasn’t exactly powerful. That worries me a bit. I’ll go see it for the people but I would love it for some good music.

It REALLY bothers me, a trailer for a musical with almost no music.

Oh…. My…... God…........

Not so sure about the singing though.

WOW! I’m with you, Morgan! But, you forgot the best yet…...BELLATRIX! So it’s “Singing, Sparrow, Snape, Peter, and Bella!!!!” This is too cool. I wouldn’t worry about “a trailer for a Musical with no music”, Ladyhawk! If I know Mr Burton (and I’ve seen many of his pictures…) he doesn’t follow the “usual” pattern. I can’t wait for this movie! It’s gonna be great! With “top actors/actresses” and a great story! I’m JAZZED!

How terrible that they used the song from the famous POTC3 trailer at the beginning…but it looks like a really interesting movie. I’m NOT going to mis from seeing Johnny AND Alan in the same movie!

You know, I’m not impressed by Johnny’s singing from the trailer, but I was so excited, I couldn’t breathe through the whole trailer.

I will be standing in line opening day for this movie, if for no other reason than the fabulous (and disturbingly sexy) Alan Rickman!!!

well atleast we know they kept Epiphany in! even if he wasn’t blasting the notes hopefully the way its filmed will make up for the lack of vocal power. i love the casting of this but can i sing… this is gonna drive me insane… please lord let this not turn into anther phantom fiasco.

OMG, OMG!!! It looks delightfully awful. Hurray for Alan, Johnny, Helena, and Butron too. But Christmas???? Not my usual holiday fare.

...

Mmm…

Alan Rickman should be one of Moviefone’s ‘Hot Actors Over 55.’
