Johnny got the role because of his epic acting skills. Of course, his relationship with Tim burton will have some effect on the fact that johnny is the main character in this. This is only because Tim knows how johnny works and vice versa, they work very well together. It's undoubtable that any Burton/Depp film will be awesome
"It's Todd now. Sweeney Todd. And he will have his revenge" Oh Gosh ... it was .. he said it so amazingly! And his stunning look .. if i were Helena i would get totally spechless or faint
Tim, Helen, and Johnny did great making this I have two other movies that they did cropse's bride and Alice but back on this I do love this bloody musical
I know I'm about 10 years too late but I'm fast becoming a big Johnny Depp fan. So I really must get around to watching this amazing film, I've only ever seen the trailers for it. This was an excellent insight into the making of the film with Johnny actually singing surprisingly enough. Also I have to give a lot of credit to Tim Burton who without doubt is a very fine director indeed...
I disagree with you Michael. I think he got the role because he is a good actor and singer! He deserves that role! And he should still get the future roles of films !
Johnny depp should have won an oscar for his role in Sweeney todd he is wonderful in this movie and what a beautiful singer his voice is so good amazing talented actor musician 1🥰
And to whoever wrote the script for this video, Turpin didn't murder Lucy, Turpin raped Lucy, then at the end of the movie Todd murders Lucy not knowing who she is
@@crowMilatonin Arsenic is a deadly poison so... it’s actually unavoidable if you drink arsenic your basically done for, so technically Mrs Lovett did say she died
It's 2022 and I only knew of Johnny because of POTC. The trial reintroduced Johnny to millions. The public has now viewed countless films they never new existed. I'm receiving 5 DVDs today that I purchased from Amazon and am excited one is sweeney todd.
"in order to seek revenge on the judge that murdered his wife...." um, that's not the film *I* saw! lol OMG I just love Helena! She is amazing. I don't think she even *tries* to be funny. It's just natural to her! :D
the thing about the role of Sweeney tho is that it was written for a man who doesn't have to be a good singer, to say George Hearn is an amazing singer as Sweeney is far from truth, but he is great in the role because that IS the role, sure Sweeney is a large singing role, but he is also demented, and thus the part was never meant to sound amazing, and tbh altho depp of course doesn't blow u away, who would've expected he could sing at all? pretty good for a first timer
Tell me about it. That was fantastic about this particular musical is that there was no bursting into song. That was the biggest pet peeve I had when they did Phantom of the Opera with Emmy and Gerard. They sounded great, but there were too many secondary characters singing and too many chorus pieces. xD Tim struck a much better balance by keeping the main characters.
Exactly, it wasn't supposed to sound GOOD. And because his role was demented as you said, it was meant to sound like an insane, demon barber who's hell-bent on getting his revenge and not some smooth voiced singer straight out of Holly Wood that has an up-beat tone!
