“The Sound of Music” with blood. That’s how Tim Burton describes his latest film, “Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street.”
The movie, based on the Stephen Sondheim musical about a murderous barber, stars Johnny Depp as the title character and Helena Bonham Carter, whose character serves the barber’s victims up in her meat pies.
Burton says he didn’t worry about whether Depp could sing. “I worry about a lot of things but I strangely did not fear that at all,” the 49-year-old director told reporters recently, according to AP Radio. “He exceeded my expectation.”
