The film arrives in theatres on December 21st.
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.
Will Ferrell, Woody Harrelson, Benjamin, Will Arnett, Jay Phillips, Josh Braaten, Rob Corddry, DeRay Davis, Maura Tierney and Jackie Earle Haley star in the comedy Semi-Pro centering on Jackie Moon (Ferrell), the owner-coach-player of the American Basketball Association's Flint Michigan Tropics, rallies his teammates to make their NBA dreams come true.

I hate to break it to you guys but this is was already a musical so the music has already been written, a long time ago, by Stephen Sondheim. Think about it

of course Danny will do this, he's done everything with Burton. except for Ed Wood. that was Howard Shore. But i am sure both Elfman and Burton have got some crazy stuff planned for this. And i am seeing a lot more of Helena since Planet of the Apes. well of course she'd be in his films.
wow JOKER, you must really like Zimmer.
