Offical "Tim Burton's Sweeney Todd" Poster.
It only features the star, Johnny Depp. But we care because it's a musical co-starring Anthony Stewart Head. Plus, a pretty cool image.

"'SWEENEY TODD'
Anthony filmed a role in the movie musical adaptation of 'Sweeney Todd'. The movie is directed by Tim Burton and tells the infamous story of Sweeney Todd, who sets up a barber shop in London which is the basis for a sinister partnership with his fellow tenant, Mrs. Lovett."

The Official Sweeney Todd site lists the cast as being: "Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, Alan Rickman, Timothy Spall, Jamie Campbell Bower, Jayne Wisener and Sacha Baron Cohen" and they cover the major roles...
His character is certainly being kept under wraps. Can't find a damn bit of concrete info.
Some folks - including folks at IMDB, for whatever it's worth - have speculated that he was to play one of the Singing Ghosts (or Ballad Ghosts or Gentleman Ghosts - whatever you want to call it) some or all of which roles have been eliminated - including Christopher Lee's - but they nixed Lee's before it was even shot, and ASH's website said he'd already filmed his mysterious role.
Dunno - but curious to see who or what ASH is playing, and what Burton et al. make of this wonderful musical.
"He'd seen how civilized men behaved.
He never forgot
and he never forgave.
...
To seek revenge may lead to hell,
but everyone does it
though seldom as well."

Seriously... This is my kind of holiday-season movie!
And to all a good night.

Still, I can't wait to see this! Sweeney is one of my favorite musicals ('cause I'm sick like that...) and I really like teh Johnny Depp, too.

Which is not to say I can begin to guess what this will be like! But I'm very curious to find out.

When was it ever uncool to like Tim Burton? ?? ???

I meant before teeny boppers starting buying tshirts from Hot Topic without having ever since any of his films.

I think I remember hearing that Depp was going to be doing the movie version of (one of my favourite Sondheim musicals) Sweeney Todd. But I didn't know the film was going to be a musical.
That poster just gives me the...daaaaaaamn!!!!
But...I'll say it now and get it over with: Depp and Bonham Carter are too young for these parts. (Typical.)
Hey, I'm really excited about this movie, but all I'm gonna say is: As much as I love Tim Burton and Johnny Depp, and as good as this cast looks to be? If these people can't Sing, they'd better be acting their asses off...or it will all be for naught.

I wish Tony had a larger, flashier role too. What a singing voice he has. It should be put to larger, flashier use.

As for ages, well bless your heart, AmazonGirl, for saying Johnny (a year younger than me) is too young for the part!!!
