Anybody else waiting with bated breath?
Much as I normally appreciate both Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter's work, I'm not sure either are perfectly cast in these roles. So that, in truth, makes me nervous. But I think Tim Burton is a great choice as director for this film, so I'm going to engage in a bit of trust there. I also think Alan Rickman and Timothy Spall are both great castings for Judge Turpin and Beadle Bamford, respectively. And, of course, you can't go wrong with Stephen Sondheim, the greatest living American composer/lyricist.

No takers? Considering the various players involved in this film, and the different elements of storytelling, I'd imagine there would be others anticipating the impending release. I've been waiting for this film to come out for so long, I forgot when I first heard about it. Here's a behind-the-scenes clip to see if it excites interest.
BTW, thanks for correcting my error, Chris

I think I will pass on the movie. I am no fan of Depp, Carter or Burton.irishrose wrote:No takers?

Alright, I've learned my lesson. Silence denotes disinterest. I know musicals attract only a very specific audience, I just figured I would throw it out there.
Mr.P., just wondering if you've seen Bonham Carter in Fight Club? I think that's a character/movie that you might like.
Mad, I heard Sondheim interviewed and he specifically addressed your concern regarding stage-musical to screen adaptations. He said largely the movie is just an attempt at filming the stage version of the musical. He goes on to say that Burton has definitely reinterpreted the material specifically as a film. Whether that is so, I have no idea.

Yes I did. She was fine in that. Good movie overall and I love the premise...I too make soap in my spare time and am riddled with debt!
