As our pals at Scene Stealers noted earlier this week Tim Burton‘s latest enterprise, Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, is set to open up this Christmas.  Burton has rounded up his regulars including Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter to bring this dark musical about a barber who kills his customers and whose corpses become the secret ingredient in Ms. Lovett’s “meat pies.”  For more on the film, including a larger version of this still image, cast and crew info, and a clip of Kevin Smith’s take on Sweeney Todd, check out the Full Diagnosis.
