The photo at left shows Johnny Depp as he arrives at the London premiere of his latest film, SWEENEY TODD: THE DEMON BARBER OF FLEET STREET at the Odeon Cinema at Leicester Square. Johnny was joined at tonight’s premiere by his director, Tim Burton, and co-stars Helena Bonham Carter (looking radiant in a red strapless gown), Alan Rickman, Timothy Spall (accompanied by his family), Jamie Campbell Bower, Laura Michelle Kelly, Jayne Wisener, and Ed Sanders. Johnny wore a black heathered suit flecked with ivory and a black shirt open at the neck–no coat, hat, or glasses.

A large, enthusiastic crowd stood waiting in the rain at Leicester Square for hours for Johnny and the other stars to arrive; several Zoners were in attendance and met Johnny, and a couple even got Johnny’s autograph . . . on their arms! (Tattoos to follow.) Many thanks to marijke who shared her phone conversations with friends at Leicester Square with the Zone–you can read the play-by-play of the event on the Pit thread called “Leicester Square Movie Premiere.” And here’s a brief interview with Johnny from BBC News: http://tinyurl.com/2z6522 Thanks to RumLover for posting it! –Part-Time Poet
