Sweeney Todd coming on Christmas

A brutal and gruesome musical, Sweeney Todd is hitting theaters this Christmas. The movie is based on the musical and is directed by Tim Burton. It features good old Johnny Depp and a huge cast that includes Sacha Baron Cohen, the actor who plays Borat.

The story revolves around Sweeny Todd (Depp), who is betrayed by the judicial system and loses his wife and child to the judge who had prosecuted him. On his return, he plans his revenge and becomes a murderous barber. This sickly story somehow tickles my fancy, probably because it deals with vengeance. I've been waiting for it's release for quite a while, so you know where I'll be the night it comes out. =)

Here's the trailer for you:
