Johnny Depp and director Tim Burton join forces again in a big screen adaptation of Stephen Sondheim's award-winning musical thriller. 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, shaving "the faces of gentlemen who never thereafter were heard of again."
Co-starring Helena Bonham Carter as Mrs. Lovett, Sweeney's amorous accomplice, who creates diabolical meat pies; Alan Rickman as the evil Judge Turpin, who sends Sweeney to prison; Timothy Spall as the judge's wicked associate Beadle Bamford; and Sacha Baron Cohen as a rival barber, the flamboyant Signor Adolfo Pirelli.
