Sweeney Todd Trailer

[Angelfan]

The first trailer for the big screen adaptation of Stephen Sondheim's Sweeney Todd has been released and it looks great (although there's not much singing to be heard!)

Yeah, only two lines of singing in the trailer, but I seem to remember the very first trailer for Hairspray having even less than that. Still, I think the trailer looks GOOOOOD, and I can't wait for the movie!!

I just saw it on Youtube and it looks kickass. Although I wish there was more singing in it, but I still can't wait. Also IMHO Helena looks beautiful as Mrs. Lovett

The good thing though is that it looks like it's got an R rating. Apparently the big wigs wanted to cut down on the gore to make it more appealing to fans of the Priates trilogy. That would've been crazy.

I loved Charlie And The Chocolate Factory and I liked The Corpse Bride (although it wasn't as good as The Nightmare Before Christmas).

I had intended to make a thread about this, because I was so pissed about the lack of singing in the trailer.

I get the movie studios' point when they do this, but it's still silly.

I just hope it isn't because the leads do a crappy job with the singing.

Well Stephen Sondheim had approval on the casting and they all had to perform in front of him before he approved them. I doubt he would've approved people who couldn't sing. I'm sure he wouldn't want his reputation ruined by a movie adaptation of one of his shows with really crappy singing.
