Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street is a 2007 musical slasher film directed by Tim Burton and an adaptation of Stephen Sondheim and Hugh Wheeler's Tony Award-winning 1979 musical of the same name. The movie retells the melodramatic Victorian tale of Sweeney Todd (Johnny Depp), an English barber and serial killer who murders his customers with a straight razor and, with the help of his accomplice, Mrs. Lovett (Helena Bonham Carter), processes their corpses into meat pies.

Having been struck by the cinematic qualities of Sondheim'south musical while still a student, Burton had entertained the notion of a film version since the early 1980s. However, it was not until 2006 that he had the opportunity to realize this ambition, when DreamWorks announced his appointment every bit replacement for director Sam Mendes, who had been working on such an accommodation. Sondheim, although not directly involved, was extensively consulted during production. Depp, not known for his singing, took lessons in preparation for his role, which producer Richard D. Zanuck acknowledged was something of a take a chance.

Sweeney Todd: The Demon Hairdresser of Fleet Street was released in the United States on December 21, 2007 and in the United kingdom on January 25, 2008. Grossing over $150 million worldwide, the picture show was praised for the performances of the bandage, musical numbers, costume and set design, and faithfulness to the 1979 musical.

Plot [edit]

In 1846, Benjamin Barker, a hairdresser, arrives in London, accompanied by sailor Anthony Hope. Xv years before, he was falsely convicted and exiled to Australia by the corrupt Judge Turpin, who lusted after Barker's wife Lucy. Barker adopts the alias "Sweeney Todd" and returns to his old Armada Street shop, situated above Nellie Lovett's meat pie shop, where she sells the "worst pies in London". Lovett tells him that once he was exiled, Turpin raped Lucy, who then poisoned herself with arsenic. The couple's daughter, Johanna, is at present Turpin's ward. Todd vows revenge and re-opens his barbershop after Mrs. Lovett, who loves him unrequitedly, presents him with his old straight razors. Anthony becomes enamored with Johanna, but is caught past Turpin and driven abroad by his henchman, Beadle Bamford.

Todd denounces faux-Italian barber Adolfo Pirelli's hair tonic every bit a fraud and humiliates him in a public shaving contest judged past Bamford. A few days later, Pirelli arrives at Todd's store, with his boy banana Tobias Ragg. Pirelli identifies himself as Todd's former banana, Davy Collins, and threatens to reveal Todd's secret unless Todd gives him half his earnings. Todd bludgeons Collins unconscious with a tea kettle, hides him in a trunk, and later slits his throat upon finding him still live.

After receiving communication from Bamford, Turpin visits Todd for grooming, intent on marrying Johanna. Todd shaves Turpin, preparing to slit his throat; they are interrupted past Anthony, who reveals his programme to elope with Johanna before noticing Turpin. An angered Turpin renounces Todd's service and leaves. Todd swears revenge on the unabridged world, vowing to kill equally many people as possible while he waits for some other chance to impale Turpin. Mrs. Lovett gets the idea to bake Todd's victims into pies, and Todd rigs his barber chair to driblet his victims' bodies through a trapdoor and into her bakehouse. Anthony searches for Johanna, whom Turpin has sent to an insane asylum upon discovering her plans to elope with Anthony.

With the barbering and pie-making businesses prospering, Mrs. Lovett takes Toby as her assistant and tells an uninterested Todd of her plans to marry him and move to the seaside. Anthony discovers Johanna's whereabouts and, following Todd'southward suggestion, poses as a wigmaker'southward apprentice to rescue her. Todd has Toby deliver a letter to Turpin, telling him where Johanna will be brought when Anthony frees her. Toby has become wary of Todd and tells Mrs. Lovett of his suspicions, vowing to protect her.

Bamford arrives at the pie store, informing Mrs. Lovett that neighbors have been lament of the stink from her chimney. Todd distracts him with an offering of a free grooming and murders him. Mrs. Lovett informs Todd of Toby'southward suspicions, and the pair search for the boy, who is at present hiding in the sewers after finding human remains in Mrs. Lovett's bakehouse. Meanwhile, Anthony brings Johanna, disguised as a sailor, to the shop, and has her wait there while he leaves to find Todd.

The beggar woman enters the shop looking for Bamford, and Johanna hides in the trunk. The woman recognizes Todd, just upon hearing Turpin coming, Todd kills her and sends her through the trapdoor in the floor. As Turpin enters, Todd explains that Johanna had repented and is coming to him, then offers a gratuitous shave in the meantime. When Turpin finally recognizes Todd as Benjamin Barker, Todd stabs him several times, cuts his throat, and dumps him into the bakehouse. Johanna comes out of her hiding place, nonetheless disguised, and Todd prepares to kill her likewise, non recognizing her equally his daughter. However, hearing Mrs. Lovett horrifyingly scream in the basement when the dying Turpin grabs at her dress, Todd spares Johanna.

Todd discovers that the beggar woman was his wife Lucy, whom he believed to exist dead, and that Mrs. Lovett deliberately misled him and so she could have him to herself. Enraged, Todd pretends to forgive her and dances with her before hurling her into the bakehouse oven as revenge, then cradles Lucy's dead body in his arms.

Production [edit]

Development [edit]

Tim Burton first saw Stephen Sondheim's 1979 stage musical, Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, as a CalArts educatee in London in 1980.[5] Burton recalled his feel of seeing the show, saying, "I was still a student, I didn't know if I would exist making movies or working in a restaurant, I had no idea what I would be doing. I just wandered into the theatre and it just blew me abroad because I'd never actually seen anything that had the mixture of all those elements. I actually went three nights in a row because I loved information technology so much."[6] Burton was not a fan of the musical genre but was struck by how cinematic the musical was, and repeatedly attended subsequent performances.[7] [8] He described it as a silent pic with music,[viii] and was "dazzled both by the music and its sense of the macabre."[5] When his directing career took off in the late 1980s, Burton approached Sondheim with a view to making a cinematic adaptation, but nada came of it. Sondheim said, "[Burton] went off and did other things."[viii]

Director Sam Mendes had been working on a film version of the story for several years, and in June 2003 Sondheim was approached to write the script.[7] [9] Although he turned down the offering, Mendes and producer Walter F. Parkes obtained his approval to use writer John Logan instead. Logan had previously collaborated with Parkes on Gladiator, and claimed his biggest challenge in adapting the Sondheim stage play "was taking a sprawling, magnificent Broadway musical and making it cinematic, and an emotionally honest pic. Onstage, you can have a chorus sing as the people of London, but I recollect that would be alienating in a moving-picture show."[10] Mendes left to straight the 2005 film Jarhead, and Burton took over equally director after his project, Ripley'due south Believe Information technology or Not!, savage apart due to its excessive budget.[7] [11]

When Burton was hired, he reworked the screenplay with Logan.[10] Logan felt they agreed over the film's tone due to "share[d] stunted childhoods watching Amicus movies".[5] Turning a 3-hour stage musical into a ii-hour picture show required some changes. Some songs were shortened, while others were completely removed.[12] Burton said, "In terms of the bear witness, information technology was 3 hours long, but we weren't out to movie the Broadway prove, we were out to brand a moving-picture show, then we tried to go along the footstep like those old melodramas. Sondheim himself is not a real big fan of film musicals, and so he was really open to honing it down to a more pacey shape."[6] Burton and Logan likewise reduced the prominence of other secondary elements, such as the romance between Todd's daughter Johanna and Anthony, to let them to focus on the triangular relationship between Todd, Mrs. Lovett, and Toby.[12] [13]

Casting [edit]

DreamWorks appear Burton's appointment in Baronial 2006, and Johnny Depp was cast as Todd.[xiv] Christopher Lee, Peter Bowles, Anthony Head, and five other actors were ready to play the ghost narrators, but their roles were cutting (Head does announced in an uncredited cameo as a gentleman who congratulates Depp afterward the shaving competition). According to Lee, these deletions were due to time constraints caused by a break in filming during March 2007, while Depp's daughter recovered from an affliction.[15] Burton's domestic partner Helena Bonham Carter was cast in October 2006, every bit well equally Sacha Baron Cohen.[16] [17] In December 2006, Alan Rickman was cast.[xviii] In January 2007, Laura Michelle Kelly was cast every bit Lucy Barker.[19] Timothy Spall was added to the bandage, and said he was urged to audience past his daughter, who wanted him to work with Depp. He recalled, "I really wanted this ane – I knew Tim was directing and that Johnny Depp was going to be in it. My daughter, my youngest girl, really wanted me to practice it for that reason – Johnny Depp was in it. (She came on set to meet Depp) and he was really delightful to her, she had a bully fourth dimension. Then, I took her to the junket – and (Depp) greeted her similar an old pal when he saw her. I've got plenty of credibility points at the moment."[twenty]

Three members of the bandage had never been in a film before: Ed Sanders was cast equally Toby, Jayne Wisener as Johanna, and Jamie Campbell Bower, who auditioned, and subsequently four days got the part of Anthony said, "I remember I weed myself. I was out shopping at the time and I got this call on my mobile. I was simply like, 'OH MY GOD!' Honestly, I was similar a fiddling girl running effectually this shop like oh-my-god-oh-my-god-oh-my-god."[21]

Filming [edit]

Filming began on Feb 5, 2007 at Pinewood Studios, and was completed past May 11, despite a brief interruption when Depp'due south daughter was taken seriously ill.[22] Burton opted to film in London, where he had felt "very much at home" since his work on Batman in 1989.[5] Product designer Dante Ferretti created a darker, more sinister London by adapting Armada Street and its surrounding area. Burton initially planned to use minimal sets and film in front of a greenish screen, merely decided against it, stating that physical sets helped actors go into a musical frame of listen: "Just having people singing in front of a green screen seemed more disconnected".[8]

Depp created his own prototype of Todd. Heavy purple and brown brand-up was applied around his eyes to propose fatigue and rage, as if "he's never slept".[23] Burton said of the character Sweeney Todd, "Nosotros always saw him as a deplorable character, not a tragic villain or anything. He's basically a dead person when yous meet him; the simply thing that'south keeping him going is the one single minded thing which is tragic. You lot don't see anything else around him."[24] Depp said of the character, "He makes Sid Savage look like the innocent paper boy. He's beyond dark. He'due south already expressionless. He's been expressionless for years."[25] Depp also commented on the streak of white in Todd'southward hair, saying, "The idea was that he'd had this hideous trauma, from beingness sent away, locked away. That streak of white pilus became the shock of that rage. It represented his rage over what had happened. It'southward certainly non the first time anyone's used it. But information technology's effective. It tells a story all past itself. My brother had a white spot growing up, and his son has this kind of shock of white in his hair."[26]

Burton insisted that the film be bloody, as he felt stage versions of the play which cutting back on the bloodshed robbed it of its power. For him, "Everything is so internal with Sweeney that [the blood] is like his emotional release. Information technology'southward more about catharsis than it is a literal thing."[7] Producer Richard D. Zanuck said that "[Burton] had a very clear plan that he wanted to lift that up into a surreal, nigh Kill Bill kind of stylization. We had done tests and experiments with the cervix slashing, with the claret popping out. I think proverb to Tim, 'My God, practice we dare do this?'"[8] On set, the fake blood was colored orangish to render correctly on the desaturated color film used, and crew members wore bin liners to avert getting stained while filming.[23] This macabre tone made some studios nervous, and information technology was not until Warner Bros. Pictures, DreamWorks and Paramount had signed upwards for the project that the film's $50 million budget was covered.[v] Burton said "the studio was cool well-nigh it and they accepted it because they knew what the show was. Any pic is a take a chance, but it is dainty to exist able to practise something like that that doesn't fit into the musical or slasher movie categories."[27]

After the filming, Burton said of the cast, "All I can say is this is 1 of the best casts I've always worked with. These people are not professional singers, then to exercise a musical similar this which I think is 1 of the most difficult musicals, they all went for information technology. Every day on the set was a very, very special thing for me. Hearing all these guys sing, I don't know if I can ever have an experience similar that once again."[6] Burton said of the singing, "You lot tin can't just lip synch, y'all'd see the throat and the breath, every take they all had to belt it out. Information technology was very enjoyable for me to see, with music on the ready everybody just moved differently. I'd seen Johnny (Depp) deed in a way I'd never seen before, walking beyond the room or sitting in the chair, picking up a razor or making a pie, whatever. They all did it in a way that you could sense."[24]

Depp said of working with Baron Cohen, when asked what he was like in real life (meaning, not doing ane of his trademark characters), "He's not what I expected. I didn't wait at those characters and think, 'This volition be the sweetest guy in the world'. He'south incredibly nice. A real gentleman, kind of elegant. I was impressed with him. He'south kind of today'southward equivalent of Peter Sellers."[28]

Music [edit]

Burton wanted to avoid the traditional approach of patches of dialogue interrupted by song, "We didn't want information technology to be what I'd say was a traditional musical with a lot of dialogue and then singing. That's why we cutting out a lot of choruses and extras singing and dancing down the street. Each of the characters, because a lot of them are repressed and have their emotions inside, the music was a way to let them express their feelings."[24]

He cut the testify's famous opening number, "The Ballad of Sweeney Todd", explaining, "Why accept a chorus singing about 'attending the tale of Sweeney Todd' when you could just become ahead and attend it?" Sondheim acknowledged that, in adapting a musical to film, the plot has to be kept moving, and was sent MP3 files of his shortened songs by Mike Higham, the moving picture'due south music producer, for approval. Several other songs were also cut, and Sondheim noted that there were "many changes, additions and deletions... [though]... if y'all just go on with it, I think you lot'll have a spectacular fourth dimension."[ten] To create a larger, more cinematic feel, the score was re-orchestrated past the stage musical'due south original orchestrator, Jonathan Tunick, who increased the orchestra from 27 musicians to 78.[29]

The Deluxe Complete Edition soundtrack was released on December xviii, 2007. Depp's singing was described by a New York Times reviewer as "harsh and sparse, only amazingly forceful".[30] Some other critic adds that, though Depp's voice "does not have much heft or power", "his ear is plain excellent, because his pitch is dead-on accurate... Beyond his good pitch and phrasing, the expressive colorings of his singing are crucial to the portrayal. Beneath this Sweeney's vacant, sullen exterior is a human being consumed with a murderous rage that threatens to burst forth every time he slowly takes a breath and is poised to speak. Yet when he sings, his voice crackles and breaks with sadness."[31]

Marketing [edit]

The film'southward marketing has been criticized for not advertising information technology equally a musical. Michael Halberstam of the Writers' Theatre said, "By de-emphasizing the score to the extent they did in the trailer, it is possible the producers were condescending to the states – a tactic which cannot ultimately end in annihilation but tears."[32] In the Uk, a number of audition members walked out of the pic on realizing it was a musical, and complaints that advertisements for the motion picture were deliberately misleading were fabricated to both the Advertising Standards Authority and Trading Standards agency.[33] [34] The studios involved opted for a depression-key arroyo to their marketing. Producer Walter Parkes stated, "All these things that could be described as difficulties could also be the movie's greatest strengths." Warner Bros. felt it should accept a similar approach to marketing every bit with The Departed, with petty early exposure and discouraging talk of awards.[35]

Release [edit]

Sweeney Todd: The Demon Hairdresser of Fleet Street officially opened at the United States box office on Dec 21, 2007 in one,249 theatres, and took $9,300,805 in its opening weekend. Worldwide releases followed during January and February 2008, with the film performing well in the United kingdom and Nihon.[4] The film grossed $52,898,073 in the The states and Canada, and $99,625,091 in other markets, accumulating a worldwide full of $152,523,164.[4] In the The states, the Marcus Theaters Corporation was not initially planning to screen the film following its premiere, because it was unable to achieve a pricing agreement with Paramount.[36] However, the dispute was resolved in time for the official release.[37]

Critical reception [edit]

Although Sondheim was cautious of a cinematic adaptation of his musical, he was largely impressed by the results.[five] Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street received critical acclamation, and the performances, visuals, product design, costume design and faithfulness to its source cloth were praised. The review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes reports that 86% of critics gave the pic positive reviews based on 232 reviews and an average rating of 7.70/x. The site's critical consensus reads, "Total of pith and Grand Guignol grossness, this macabre musical is perfectly helmed and highly entertaining. Tim Burton masterfully stages the musical in a way that will make you recollect he has done this many times before."[38] Metacritic assigned the film an average score of 83 out of 100, based on 39 reviews, indicating "universal acclamation".[39] Sweeney Todd appeared on many critics' top ten lists of the best films of 2007.[forty]

Of the reviewers, Time rated information technology an A-minus and added, "Burton and Depp infuse the brilliant cold steel of Stephen Sondheim's score with a burning passion. Helena Bonham Carter and a superb supporting cast bring focused fury to this musical nightmare. Information technology'due south bloody neat." Fourth dimension's Richard Corliss named the motion picture one of its top x movies of 2007, placing it fifth.[41] Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times gave information technology four stars out of iv, lauding Burton's visual style.[42] In his review in Variety, Todd McCarthy called information technology "both precipitous and fleet" and "a satisfying screen version of Stephen Sondheim's landmark 1979 theatrical musical ... things have turned out uniformly right thank you to highly focused direction by Tim Burton, expert spiral-tightening past scenarist John Logan, and haunted and musically adept lead performances from Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter. Assembled artistic combo assures the movie will reap by far the biggest audience to run into a pure Sondheim musical, although but how big depends on the upscale crowd's tolerance for buckets of claret, and the caste to which the masses stay away due to the whiff of the highbrow."[43] Lisa Schwarzbaum of Entertainment Weekly gave the film a B-plus in its Motion-picture show Reviews section and stated, "To stage a proper Sweeney Todd, necks must be slit, man flesh must be squished into pastries, and claret ought to spurt in fountains and rivers of death. Enter Tim Burton, who ... has tenderly art-directed soup-thick, tomato-red, fake-gore blood with the zest of a Hollywood-funded Jackson Pollock." She went on to refer to the slice every bit "opulent, attentive ... then finely minced a mixture of Sondheim's original melodrama and Burton'southward signature spicing that information technology's difficult to recall of whatever other filmmaker so naturally suited for the job."[44]

In its DVD Reviews section, EW's Chris Nashawaty gave the movie an A-minus, stating, "Depp's soaring voice makes yous wonder what other tricks he's been hiding... Watching Depp'southward barber wield his razors... it's difficult not to be reminded of Edward Scissorhands aimlessly shaping hedges into brute topiaries 18 years ago... and all of the twisted beauty we would've missed out on had [Burton and Depp] never met."[45] In Rolling Stone, Peter Travers awarded it 3½ out of 4 stars and added, "Sweeney Todd is a thriller-diller from commencement to finish: scary, monstrously funny and melodically thrilling ... [the movie] is a bloody wonder, intimate and epic, horrific and heart-rending as it flies on the wings of Sondheim's most thunderously exciting score."[46] Every bit with Time, the critic ranked information technology 5th on his list of the best movies of 2007.[47] Kirk Honeycutt of The Hollywood Reporter said, "The claret juxtaposed to the music is highly unsettling. It runs contrary to expectations. Burton pushes this gore into his audiences' faces so equally to experience the madness and the destructive fury of Sweeney'due south obsession. Teaming with Depp, his long-time alter ego, Burton makes Sweeney a smoldering dark pit of fury and hate that consumes itself. With his sturdy acting and surprisingly proficient voice, Depp is a Sweeney Todd for the ages."[48] Harry Knowles gave the pic a highly positive review, calling it Burton'south best film since Ed Wood, his favorite Burton film, and said it was possibly superior.[ clarification needed ] He praised all of the cast and the cinematography, merely noted it would probably not entreatment to non-musical fans due to the dominance of music in the film.[49]
