the demon barber of fleet street
to post, IMHO (and i'm darned tempted to recreate this as a 1/6th-diorama LOL)
"In the film/play, Todd’s victims are sat in a mechanical chair, where they are subject to a slice across their throats, before a trap door in the floor opens and they slide down a chute into the lair of Todd’s mistress, Mrs Lovett (played by Helena Bonham Carter), who uses the dead bodies to make her meat pies. One scene that is said to have particularly bothered the studio bosses involved a “ten-year-old boy cutting up body parts, which were then thrown into a meat grinder and turned into mince.” [read more via Slashfilm]
Tim Burton could envision (Edward Scissorhands / Sleepy Hollow = "glory-goth"), IMHO :)
DreamWorks Pictures' Sweeney Todd releases December 2007.
I was a local video rental store the other day, looking for something good, and then this guy pulls me aside and asks if I'm a Tim Burton fan. I reply, "Hell yes I am!" and he sits me down in front of a laptop and shows me an early cut of the trailer!

ReplyDeleteOne of the best scenes:
[Man walks up to Johnny Depp]
Johnny Depp: "How's about a shave good sir?" [He says patting the empty barber's chair]
[Man sits down]
[JD applies the shaving cream and then, SLASH! Blood spatters on the camera.]
