News of his daughter being released from hospital meant that Johnny Depp could star in Tim Burton'sSweeney Todd as planned and seemingly without much delay. On the left is our first look at the actor in the role of Sweeney Todd, the infamous "Demon Barber of Fleet Street". Looks very Edward Scissorhands ish, and not the look I was really expecting or have ever seen for the character before. Then again though it's Tim Burton, so all bets are off! Sweeney Todd comes out on December 21st, directly against National Treasure 2: Book of Secrets which may not be a wise move after the success of the first movie. source - coming soon, perez hilton
