Awesome "Sweeney Todd" Poster
The poster for Johnny Depp's "Sweeney Todd" is definitely a piece of art. It is an amazing image of Depp as the lead character, sitting in a barber's chair with a look of hate in his eyes. Everything in the poster is dark and creepy, down to the red color peeking through the floor boards. The tagline states "Never forget. Never forgive."
The story revolves around Sweeney Todd, who was unjustly sent to prison. As a result, he vows revenge, not only for that cruel punishment, but for the devastating consequences of what happened to his wife and daughter. When he returns to reopen his barber shop, Sweeney Todd becomes the Demon Barber of Fleet Street who "shaved the heads of gentlemen who never thereafter were heard from again."
Looking at the poster, it is no surprise that the film is directed by Tim Burton, who is re-uniting with Depp for the sixth time. The first five films were "Ed Wood," "Edward Scissorhands," "Sleepy Hollow," and the recent "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" and "Corpse Bride." "Sweeney Todd" hits theaters on December 21st.
