Coming Soon...
"The story of Sweeney Todd is of a wrongfully imprisoned barber in Victorian England who sets out to seek revenge on the judge who imprisoned him". I love Alan Rickman's work, he has a great knack of stealing the show in just about every movie he is in. This is still one of my most anticipated films over the next 12 months, I really wish somebody would run this musical as a show near where I live. I would love to see it. Filming is set to begin in February at Pinewood Studio's in London. source -
