There is a post on All That Chat that states Sondheim is currently in L.A. in "important talks." The poster surmises he is there to discuss the Sweeney Todd movie. Does anyone else find it interesting that Bernadette was in L.A. the week before perhaps also for "important talks" about the same project. At least that is my dream.
BERNADETTE FOR MRS LOVETT!

I love it...something to chew on during this otherwise too-calm period.
Why don't you raise this thought with those helpful and oh-so-friendly folks at *finishing.the.chat*
(Gee, and I thought Bern was in LA to take refresher driver lessons)

Doggone it, moljul!
Are Tim Burton and Johnny Depp still involved with the movie? I know Johnny Depp was at Sweeney Todd not too long ago.
Oooh....doggone it, Moljul! I have enough on my mind as it is!

The thing with Depp and Burton was never really confirmed, just stated they were considering it. I do hope they are not involved as I don't think they would be right.

Who would be right? Do you think David Lynch or Spike Jonze might be good? Those are two directors who've occurred to me as possibilities.
Casting--I have no idea except for Bernadette.

Russell Crowe or Harrison Ford - both capable of very angry and fierce acting - I have no idea if either of them can sing. Also, a thought is Christopher Walken - we all know he's scary and wonderfully psychotic. And he can dance!
I love Johnny Depp but while he is good at quirky, I'm not sure he would be fierce enough although he looks really scary in the trailer for his new movie.

Bernadette as Mrs. Lovett would be wonderful.

I'm not a big fan of Russell Crowe but he has been mentioned a lot. I think he would play too young against Bernadette and of course the main object of this little thread is to have Bernadette play Lovett. I also don't see Harrison Ford as being right either and I don't believe he sings. Christopher Walken would be the right type but I also don't believe he sings. His dancing skills wouldn't get much use in Sweeney Todd. Some have mentioned Kevin Kline or Kevin Spacey both of which I like and they both sing.

Both Kevins would be interesting ...I'm not a big fan of either but the role is what counts. I think it won't matter about age because historically on Broadway, the actresses playing Mrs. Lovett have been at least 10 years older than the actor playing Sweeney.

Ah yes but age is much more apparent on film than on stage.

Since Bernadette looks 40 then it won't be an issue.

Spacey is actually a pretty good singer. I don't know what kind of voice training he actually has, but he might could pull it off. He can certainly do the demented/troubled/angry character thing.
I'm thinking Terry Gilliam for director (!).

Have we forgotten the most obvious but controversial person?
STEVE MARTIN!!!!!!!!
They could reunite 25 years after PFH. Whether it could actually happen is another story. He has a good voice though

Umm. He had a pleasant enough voice in 1979 but he's not a singer and also not a strong enough actor to carry off Sweeney.

Perhaps if Sweeney played the banjo....

How about:
Richard Gere, or,
Hugh Jackman
Both my favorites for this, or anything.
Actually I can see Kevin Spacey as Sweeney--he strikes me as a very cold and calculating guy.
