Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Armada Street is a 2007 musical slasher film directed past Tim Burton and an accommodation of Stephen Sondheim and Hugh Wheeler's Tony Accolade-winning 1979 musical of the same proper name. The film 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 past the cinematic qualities of Sondheim's musical while still a educatee, Burton had entertained the notion of a motion picture version since the early 1980s. Even so, it was not until 2006 that he had the opportunity to realize this ambition, when DreamWorks announced his appointment as replacement for director Sam Mendes, who had been working on such an adaptation. Sondheim, although not directly involved, was extensively consulted during product. Depp, not known for his singing, took lessons in preparation for his part, which producer Richard D. Zanuck best-selling was something of a risk.

Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Armada 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 film was praised for the performances of the bandage, musical numbers, costume and set up pattern, and faithfulness to the 1979 musical.

Plot [edit]

In 1846, Benjamin Barker, a barber, arrives in London, accompanied past sailor Anthony Hope. Fifteen years earlier, he was falsely convicted and exiled to Australia by the corrupt Judge Turpin, who lusted afterwards Barker'south 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 girl, Johanna, is now Turpin'due south ward. Todd vows revenge and re-opens his barbershop afterwards 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 away past his henchman, Beadle Bamford.

Todd denounces faux-Italian barber Adolfo Pirelli'south hair tonic as a fraud and humiliates him in a public shaving competition judged by Bamford. A few days subsequently, Pirelli arrives at Todd'due south store, with his boy assistant Tobias Ragg. Pirelli identifies himself as Todd's former assistant, Davy Collins, and threatens to reveal Todd's secret unless Todd gives him one-half his earnings. Todd bludgeons Collins unconscious with a tea kettle, hides him in a body, and afterward slits his pharynx upon finding him yet alive.

After receiving advice from Bamford, Turpin visits Todd for grooming, intent on marrying Johanna. Todd shaves Turpin, preparing to slit his throat; they are interrupted by Anthony, who reveals his plan to elope with Johanna before noticing Turpin. An angered Turpin renounces Todd's service and leaves. Todd swears revenge on the unabridged earth, vowing to impale as many people equally possible while he waits for another chance to impale Turpin. Mrs. Lovett gets the idea to broil Todd's victims into pies, and Todd rigs his hairdresser chair to drib 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 banana and tells an uninterested Todd of her plans to marry him and motion to the seaside. Anthony discovers Johanna'due south whereabouts and, post-obit Todd's proffer, poses as a wigmaker's amateur to rescue her. Todd has Toby deliver a letter to Turpin, telling him where Johanna will exist 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 complaining of the stink from her chimney. Todd distracts him with an offer of a free training and murders him. Mrs. Lovett informs Todd of Toby's suspicions, and the pair search for the boy, who is at present hiding in the sewers after finding human remains in Mrs. Lovett'south bakehouse. Meanwhile, Anthony brings Johanna, disguised equally a crewman, to the shop, and has her wait there while he leaves to discover Todd.

The ragamuffin adult female enters the shop looking for Bamford, and Johanna hides in the trunk. The adult female 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, all the same disguised, and Todd prepares to kill her as well, non recognizing her equally his daughter. However, hearing Mrs. Lovett horrifyingly scream in the basement when the dying Turpin grabs at her apparel, Todd spares Johanna.

Todd discovers that the beggar woman was his wife Lucy, whom he believed to be dead, and that Mrs. Lovett deliberately misled him so she could have him to herself. Enraged, Todd pretends to forgive her and dances with her earlier hurling her into the bakehouse oven every bit revenge, then cradles Lucy's dead body in his arms. Toby appears, enraged at Mrs. Lovett's death, and Todd allows Toby to slit his throat with his own razor. Toby leaves as Todd bleeds to death over his dead wife.

Production [edit]

Development [edit]

Tim Burton first saw Stephen Sondheim'due south 1979 stage musical, Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, as a CalArts student in London in 1980.[5] Burton recalled his experience of seeing the show, saying, "I was still a educatee, I didn't know if I would be making movies or working in a eating place, I had no idea what I would exist doing. I simply wandered into the theatre and it but blew me abroad because I'd never really seen annihilation that had the mixture of all those elements. I actually went iii nights in a row because I loved information technology and then 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.[seven] [8] He described it every bit a silent film with music,[eight] and was "dazzled both by the music and its sense of the macabre."[v] When his directing career took off in the belatedly 1980s, Burton approached Sondheim with a view to making a cinematic adaptation, but nothing came of information technology. Sondheim said, "[Burton] went off and did other things."[eight]

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 downward 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 claiming in adapting the Sondheim phase play "was taking a sprawling, magnificent Broadway musical and making it cinematic, and an emotionally honest motion-picture show. Onstage, you tin have a chorus sing as the people of London, but I call back that would be alienating in a movie."[ten] Mendes left to directly the 2005 film Jarhead, and Burton took over as director later his project, Ripley's Believe It or Not!, roughshod autonomously 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".[five] Turning a iii-hour stage musical into a 2-hour film required some changes. Some songs were shortened, while others were completely removed.[12] Burton said, "In terms of the show, it was three hours long, merely we weren't out to moving picture the Broadway evidence, we were out to make a flick, so nosotros tried to go on the footstep like those old melodramas. Sondheim himself is non a existent big fan of pic musicals, so he was actually open to honing it down to a more pacey shape."[half-dozen] Burton and Logan too reduced the prominence of other secondary elements, such as the romance between Todd'southward daughter Johanna and Anthony, to permit them to focus on the triangular relationship betwixt Todd, Mrs. Lovett, and Toby.[12] [thirteen]

Casting [edit]

DreamWorks announced Burton'southward appointment in August 2006, and Johnny Depp was cast every bit Todd.[xiv] Christopher Lee, Peter Bowles, Anthony Caput, and five other actors were ready to play the ghost narrators, but their roles were cutting (Head does appear in an uncredited cameo every bit a gentleman who congratulates Depp after 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 girl recovered from an illness.[15] Burton'due south domestic partner Helena Bonham Carter was bandage in Oct 2006, as well as Sacha Businesswoman Cohen.[16] [17] In December 2006, Alan Rickman was cast.[18] In January 2007, Laura Michelle Kelly was bandage every bit Lucy Barker.[xix] Timothy Spall was added to the bandage, and said he was urged to audience by his daughter, who wanted him to work with Depp. He recalled, "I actually wanted this one – I knew Tim was directing and that Johnny Depp was going to be in it. My daughter, my youngest daughter, really wanted me to do it for that reason – Johnny Depp was in it. (She came on set to meet Depp) and he was actually delightful to her, she had a swell time. Then, I took her to the junket – and (Depp) greeted her like an quondam pal when he saw her. I've got plenty of brownie points at the moment."[20]

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

Filming [edit]

Filming began on February 5, 2007 at Pinewood Studios, and was completed by May eleven, despite a brief interruption when Depp'due south daughter was taken seriously ill.[22] Burton opted to motion picture in London, where he had felt "very much at abode" since his piece of work on Batman in 1989.[5] Production designer Dante Ferretti created a darker, more sinister London past adapting Armada Street and its surrounding expanse. Burton initially planned to employ minimal sets and motion picture in front of a light-green screen, but decided against it, stating that physical sets helped actors get into a musical frame of mind: "Simply having people singing in front of a green screen seemed more than disconnected".[eight]

Depp created his own paradigm of Todd. Heavy purple and brown make-up was practical around his eyes to suggest fatigue and rage, equally if "he's never slept".[23] Burton said of the graphic symbol Sweeney Todd, "We always saw him as a sorry character, not a tragic villain or annihilation. He's basically a expressionless person when you meet him; the only thing that'due south keeping him going is the one single minded thing which is tragic. Yous don't see anything else around him."[24] Depp said of the character, "He makes Sid Vicious look like the innocent paper male child. He's beyond dark. He's already expressionless. He'southward been dead for years."[25] Depp likewise commented on the streak of white in Todd'due south hair, saying, "The idea was that he'd had this hideous trauma, from being sent abroad, locked away. That streak of white hair became the daze of that rage. Information technology represented his rage over what had happened. It'due south certainly not the kickoff time anyone'due south used it. But information technology'south constructive. 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, every bit he felt phase versions of the play which cut dorsum on the mortality robbed it of its power. For him, "Everything is so internal with Sweeney that [the blood] is like his emotional release. It'south more than about catharsis than it is a literal thing."[7] Producer Richard D. Zanuck said that "[Burton] had a very clear programme that he wanted to lift that up into a surreal, well-nigh Kill Bill kind of stylization. We had done tests and experiments with the neck slashing, with the blood popping out. I remember saying to Tim, 'My God, do we dare do this?'"[8] On set, the fake blood was colored orange to render correctly on the desaturated color moving picture used, and crew members wore bin liners to avoid 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 up for the projection that the picture show's $50 million budget was covered.[5] Burton said "the studio was absurd most information technology and they accepted it because they knew what the show was. Any movie is a risk, but it is prissy to be able to do something like that that doesn't fit into the musical or slasher movie categories."[27]

Subsequently the filming, Burton said of the cast, "All I can say is this is one of the best casts I've ever worked with. These people are not professional singers, so to do a musical like this which I think is one of the nigh hard musicals, they all went for information technology. Every twenty-four hours on the set up was a very, very special thing for me. Hearing all these guys sing, I don't know if I can ever have an experience like that once more."[6] Burton said of the singing, "You can't just lip synch, you'd see the throat and the breath, every take they all had to chugalug information technology out. It was very enjoyable for me to see, with music on the fix everybody only moved differently. I'd seen Johnny (Depp) act in a way I'd never seen before, walking beyond the room or sitting in the chair, picking upwardly a razor or making a pie, whatsoever. They all did it in a mode that you lot could sense."[24]

Depp said of working with Businesswoman Cohen, when asked what he was like in real life (pregnant, not doing one of his trademark characters), "He's not what I expected. I didn't look at those characters and recall, 'This will exist the sweetest guy in the world'. He's incredibly nice. A real gentleman, kind of elegant. I was impressed with him. He'due south kind of today'south equivalent of Peter Sellers."[28]

Music [edit]

Burton wanted to avoid the traditional approach of patches of dialogue interrupted past song, "Nosotros didn't desire information technology to exist what I'd say was a traditional musical with a lot of dialogue and and then singing. That's why we cut out a lot of choruses and extras singing and dancing down the street. Each of the characters, considering a lot of them are repressed and accept their emotions within, the music was a way to allow them express their feelings."[24]

He cut the show's famous opening number, "The Ballad of Sweeney Todd", explaining, "Why have a chorus singing virtually 'attending the tale of Sweeney Todd' when you could but become ahead and nourish information technology?" Sondheim acknowledged that, in adapting a musical to picture, the plot has to be kept moving, and was sent MP3 files of his shortened songs past Mike Higham, the film's music producer, for approval. Several other songs were as well cut, and Sondheim noted that there were "many changes, additions and deletions... [though]... if you just become along with it, I think y'all'll take a spectacular time."[10] To create a larger, more cinematic feel, the score was re-orchestrated by the stage musical's original orchestrator, Jonathan Tunick, who increased the orchestra from 27 musicians to 78.[29]

The Deluxe Consummate Edition soundtrack was released on December 18, 2007. Depp's singing was described past a New York Times reviewer as "harsh and thin, but amazingly forceful".[thirty] Another critic adds that, though Depp's voice "does not accept much heft or power", "his ear is patently 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 man consumed with a murderous rage that threatens to burst along every fourth dimension he slowly takes a breath and is poised to speak. Yet when he sings, his vocalization crackles and breaks with sadness."[31]

Marketing [edit]

The film's marketing has been criticized for not advertising information technology as a musical. Michael Halberstam of the Writers' Theatre said, "By de-emphasizing the score to the extent they did in the trailer, information technology is possible the producers were condescending to us – a tactic which cannot ultimately finish in anything but tears."[32] In the UK, a number of audience members walked out of the film on realizing it was a musical, and complaints that advertisements for the film were deliberately misleading were fabricated to both the Advertizing Standards Authority and Trading Standards bureau.[33] [34] The studios involved opted for a low-cardinal approach to their marketing. Producer Walter Parkes stated, "All these things that could be described as difficulties could also exist the movie'southward greatest strengths." Warner Bros. felt it should take a similar approach to marketing as with The Departed, with little early exposure and discouraging talk of awards.[35]

Release [edit]

Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Armada Street officially opened at the Usa box office on December 21, 2007 in 1,249 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 Japan.[4] The flick grossed $52,898,073 in the Us and Canada, and $99,625,091 in other markets, accumulating a worldwide full of $152,523,164.[4] In the United States, the Marcus Theaters Corporation was not initially planning to screen the film following its premiere, considering information technology was unable to reach a pricing agreement with Paramount.[36] However, the dispute was resolved in fourth dimension for the official release.[37]

Disquisitional reception [edit]

Although Sondheim was cautious of a cinematic adaptation of his musical, he was largely impressed by the results.[5] Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Armada Street received critical acclaim, and the performances, visuals, production blueprint, costume blueprint and faithfulness to its source material were praised. The review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes reports that 86% of critics gave the motion-picture show positive reviews based on 232 reviews and an average rating of 7.70/x. The site's critical consensus reads, "Full of pith and Thou Guignol grossness, this macabre musical is perfectly helmed and highly entertaining. Tim Burton masterfully stages the musical in a way that will make you think 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 acclaim".[39] Sweeney Todd appeared on many critics' top ten lists of the best films of 2007.[40]

Of the reviewers, Time rated it an A-minus and added, "Burton and Depp infuse the brilliant cold steel of Stephen Sondheim'south score with a burning passion. Helena Bonham Carter and a superb supporting cast bring focused fury to this musical nightmare. It's bloody great." Time's Richard Corliss named the film ane of its meridian ten movies of 2007, placing it fifth.[41] Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times gave it four stars out of four, lauding Burton's visual fashion.[42] In his review in Variety, Todd McCarthy chosen it "both sharp and armada" and "a satisfying screen version of Stephen Sondheim's landmark 1979 theatrical musical ... things have turned out uniformly right thanks to highly focused management by Tim Burton, skilful screw-tightening by scenarist John Logan, and haunted and musically adept atomic number 82 performances from Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter. Assembled creative philharmonic assures the film volition reap past far the biggest audience to see a pure Sondheim musical, although only how big depends on the upscale oversupply's tolerance for buckets of blood, and the degree to which the masses stay abroad due to the whiff of the highbrow."[43] Lisa Schwarzbaum of Entertainment Weekly gave the film a B-plus in its Movie Reviews section and stated, "To stage a proper Sweeney Todd, necks must be slit, human flesh must exist squished into pastries, and blood ought to spurt in fountains and rivers of decease. Enter Tim Burton, who ... has tenderly art-directed soup-thick, tomato-ruddy, fake-gore blood with the zest of a Hollywood-funded Jackson Pollock." She went on to refer to the slice as "opulent, attentive ... so finely minced a mixture of Sondheim's original melodrama and Burton's signature spicing that it's difficult to think of any other filmmaker so naturally suited for the job."[44]

In its DVD Reviews section, EW's Chris Nashawaty gave the pic an A-minus, stating, "Depp'southward soaring vocalisation makes you wonder what other tricks he's been hiding... Watching Depp's hairdresser wield his razors... it'southward hard not to be reminded of Edward Scissorhands frantically shaping hedges into fauna topiaries eighteen years ago... and all of the twisted beauty nosotros would've missed out on had [Burton and Depp] never met."[45] In Rolling Stone, Peter Travers awarded it iii½ out of four stars and added, "Sweeney Todd is a thriller-diller from start to cease: scary, monstrously funny and melodically thrilling ... [the film] is a encarmine wonder, intimate and epic, horrific and heart-rending as information technology flies on the wings of Sondheim's most thunderously exciting score."[46] As with Time, the critic ranked it fifth on his listing of the best movies of 2007.[47] Kirk Honeycutt of The Hollywood Reporter said, "The blood 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'south obsession. Teaming with Depp, his long-time alter ego, Burton makes Sweeney a smoldering nighttime pit of fury and hate that consumes itself. With his sturdy acting and surprisingly good voice, Depp is a Sweeney Todd for the ages."[48] Harry Knowles gave the picture show a highly positive review, calling it Burton's best picture since Ed Wood, his favorite Burton picture, and said it was possibly superior.[ clarification needed ] He praised all of the cast and the cinematography, only noted information technology would probably not appeal to non-musical fans due to the dominance of music in the film.[49]
