Sacha Baron Coehn, following the enormous success of Borat, plans to follow it up with a role in Tim Burton's Sweeny Todd. Sweeny Todd will star Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter and Sacha Baron Cohen.
variety had the news -
Cohen will play Signor Adolfo Pirelli, a barber who becomes the nemesis of Sweeney Todd. Todd's the barber who teams with the murderess Mrs. Lovett (Helena Bonham Carter) to kill people, grind them up and use them in her meat pies.
Based on Stephen Sondheim's musical, in the hands of Mr Burton, I think we can prepare ourselves for a special treat!
Shooting begins in London in February. £5 for anyone who manages to "High Five" him on the set!

Will this be Depp's first singing role?
Bet he won't be as good as Phil Dainty who played Todd in our School play at Dormston ;)
