OhMiGod…

…Could it happen? According to this interview with Johnny Depp, there is a plan to make a film of Sondheim’s Sweeney Todd starring Depp and directed by Tim Burton.

 

Swoon. That would be like all the endorphins in my brain suddenly exploding at once.

 

Point one. Sweeney Todd is not simply "a musical" by Stephen Sondheim – it is a magnificent opera, a masterpiece.

 

Point Two, Tim Burton is a director of genius.

 

Point Three, Johnny Depp is a brilliant actor.

 

I can’t wait until 2008…
