Another trailer for Tim Burton's Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street has arrived, and if it's blood ye wanted, it's blood ye get. (Honestly, it's really bloody.) Alas, no singing whatsoever this time out; the new clip seems to be geared more toward the thriller elements of the story, so it will likely show up on some of the recent Halloween releases to lure in the Sleepy Hollow crowd.Considering the minimal singing heard in the first trailer and the complete lack of it in this one, the vultures are already circling claiming that star Johnny Depp must not be able to sing at all and that the studio is trying to hide it for as long as they can. Which, of course, is all conjecture at this point; we'll all just have to wait until the film opens on December 21 to find out.
Or will we? Those who can't wait will get a chance to hear Depp (and Helena Bonham Carter and the rest of the movie cast) singing the Sondheim score when the new, two-disc soundtrack goes on sale December 18, a few days prior to the film's opening. This will be a specially packaged deluxe edition soundtrack, with bonus content and a bound booklet (presumably similar to the Phantom of the Opera soundtrack from a few years back). And, if you so wish, you can even pre-order it right here, right now

Sondheim was against Depp at first feeling his voice too rock and roll for the part. He is sort of reedy, having heard him at the Viper Room before he lost it.
Sondheim writes some of the most dificult music to sing so an incredible voice is needed. I have my buddy at the The Hollywood Reporter working on getting me into the press screen a few weeks before the release. If I get in you will hear from me about it.
Good luck on the interview, Mode is a great place to work
