The longer trailer does have a little bit of singing. <BR/><BR/>I will point out, however, that saying it looks gorgeous isn't much praise. All Burton films look great, especially in the trailers. Some of them are really good films, but some of them are not, and in the ones I don't like I often feel the art design has taken precedence over everything else.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6956070.post-84013858019592527112007-10-23T16:08:00.000-04:002007-10-23T16:08:00.000-04:00I love the trailer.

Still, I'm not sure how someone uninitiated could watch this and not realize it's a musical when Depp sings - and not only sings, but sings the biggest musical moment of the show.<BR/><BR/>Because they don't give away any of the big twists. A Sweeney trailer that doesn't run with the whole canniballism thing? Me impressed.<BR/><BR/>Becuase the cast looks great and the film looks to be gorgeously done.<BR/><BR/>Because they make sure to offset the seriousness - cutting the drama of "my right arm" at the end with Lovett's deadpan response.<BR/><BR/>I'm excited.Tosy And Coshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11466315384515717261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6956070.post-26352963008508277712007-10-23T15:21:00.000-04:002007-10-23T15:21:00.000-04:00One rather suspects that Burton's stroke of "geniu...One rather suspects that Burton's stroke of "genius" in casting non-singers turned out to be just as rock-stupid as everyone knew it would be and...hey, look!

Who'll then walk out when they discover it's a musical? <BR/><BR/>Based on this trailer, Sweeny looks like 'From Hell' meets 'Sleepy Hollow'.wcdixonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06511429457006302795noreply@blogger.com
