Will It Be a Cut Above?

Just wanted to say I'm totally digging the trailer for Sweeney Todd, the new Johnny Depp–Tim Burton collaboration coming to theaters this Christmas. Longtime readers of this blog know I love the show, and the film adaptation looks dark and cool, albeit less musical than the show itself (but perhaps that's intentional for marketing purposes). I'm hoping Depp's performance is less Jack Sparrow Gone Mad than the trailer appears, but given that he's rockin' another English accent, comparisons are easy to make. (HollywoodElsewhere.com says it's Depp's "best performance ever.") Anyway, check out the trailer for yourself and let me know what you think.
