Johnny Depp is back as another Englishman (he was Captain Jack Sparrow in the Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy), but this time he's even crazier. He's the legendary Sweeney Todd, an alias for his real name of Benjamin Barker, and he's the "Demon Barber of Fleet Street". Take a few minutes to visit the official Sweeney Todd movie site and you'll see what I'm talking about. The movie opens just in time for Christmas.
In this story, Benjamin Barker is living the simple life of a barber with his wife and daughter when a lusting judge destroys their lives. Benjamin gets deported to Australia and returns many years later to England with revenge on his mind. His intent is to reclaim his family and punish the society which took part in the destruction of it. He doesn't want to forget OR forgive. It's a bloody journey from beginning to end.
They say that confession's good for the soul. If you'd like to confess your desires for vengeance, then visit Sweeney Todd on Buzznet. You can call in your confession or upload a video confession; either way it's sure to be a lot of fun. If you don't want to do that, just confess to me in the comments. I'm not a demon barber, but I'll read it. I've never personally exacted revenge on anyone that I can remember. That doesn't mean I'm not guilty of it and if I remember anything, I'll be sure to add it the comments.
If you visit Sweeney Todd on MySpace, you can enter for the chance to meet Johnny Depp at the global premiere of the movie. What are you waiting for?
