Sweeney Todd Closeup

Sweeney Todd Closeup, originally uploaded by bubblesung.

I had the privilage of seeing an advanced screening of Tim Burton's Sweeney Todd last night at a Below The Line Screening in Hollywood.

It is AMAZING!!!

Sacha Baron Cohen steals the show and his character Signor Adolfo Pirelli is worth all the horrific bloodletting, Alan Rickman is a perfect villain and Helena Bonham Carter is perfectly pitched as the meat pie queen of Fleet Street. Johnny Depp sounds as good as he looks.

Be ready for some seriously graphic action close ups with the sharpest razors since Edward Sissorhands.
