This was one of the things that almost got lost in the shuffle of Comic-Con -- the poster image for Tim Burton's Sweeney Todd. Johnny Depp really does look like the demon barber of Fleet Street in this image, while echoing a few shades of Edward Scissorhands and From Hell. In fact, this is one of the first times in recent memory that a poster has me more jazzed about a film than I thought I would be. It looks as dark and disturbing as the source material, and just the idea of bringing Tim Burton and Johnny Depp back together has me excited. Let's just hope there are no chocolate bars or Oompa Loompas in sight.
