New SWEENEY TODD poster debuts at ComicCon
Here’s the first look at artwork promoting the Tim Burton film of SWEENEY TODD; the image shows Johnny Depp (as Todd) sitting in his lethal barber’s chair and brandishing a razor in his right hand, while over his shoulder a fog-shrouded image of Big Ben appears through a window. The words “Never forget. Never forgive.” appear in red beneath Todd’s feet. Johnny’s name appears above the title (“Johnny Depp is . . . SWEENEY TODD”), and the release date is given as “This Christmas.” The poster was shown at ComicCon in San Diego today as part of the DreamWorks slate; it also appeared on Entertainment Tonight.

Many thanks to Holden, who found the original image at ET.online, SB, capnjacksgirl85, and JD101, who posted successively larger versions of the poster on the Zone’s News & Views forum. You can read a lively discussion of the poster and all things SWEENEY TODD there. –Part-Time Poet
