GARRRRR

Via Oh No They Didn't, via some other site:

Warner Bros wants Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street director Tim Burton to “butcher” his own film, according to a report from the Daily Mail. Apparently the early footage from the film was so extremely bloody that the studio executives have become a tad squeamish and are requesting the film to be re-cut. In its present form the film would merit an R-Rating, but Warner Brothers would prefer it to be released with a PG-13 MPAA tag.

Sweeney? PG-13? HEADDESK.

This is fucking awesome.

Please, please, please, please don't suck...

Pretty damn magical

Why'd I wait so long to see this?

I may claim to hate Burton - I know I hate Beetlejuice and Edward Scissorhands and Sleepy Hollow and a great deal of his other stuff - but with this and Ed Wood on his side, I may have to reconsider.

Ed Wood

So I saw this movie for the first time in a while, and it allowed me to confirm, even as a Burton and Depp hater: AWESOME. Plus! Bill Murray is in it! I forgot that!

However, I still maintain that Martin Landau, though fantastic, did not deserve his Oscar over Samuel L. Jackson.
