Tim Burton’s “Sweeney Todd” Gets Greenlight by amit

Dreamworks Studios has confirmed Director Tim Burton will once again be teamed up with Johnny Depp in his next film titled “Sweeney Todd.” The story comes from a Stephen Sondheim musical thriller centered around “a murderous barber wrongfully imprisoned who later seeks revenge on the judge who sent him up the river.” Sounds like a Burton-esque plot. Who else is behind the upcoming film? Memoirs of a Geisha’s costume designer, Colleen Atwood, L.A. Confidential’s Oscar-nominated cinematographer Dante Spinotti and The Aviator’s and Gladiator’s screenwriter John Logan will all come together for what’s slated to be a classic film. Shooting begins next February with a release later in the year.

Wes Anderson Movie in India by amit

According to Reuters, writer/director Wes Anderson is set start shooting his next movie at the end of the year in the only country to be considered a sub-continent, India. Starring in the flick titled The Darjeeling Limited are perennial favorites Owen Wilson and Jason Schwartzman along with new comer Adrien Brody (Angels in the Outfield). Not only is this a whole new movie locale for Anderson, the director is also changing movie companies. FOX Searchlight will be the group behind the film about three brothers on a “spiritual journey” across India after the passing of their father. The screenplay has a triple threat authorship from Anderson, Schwartzman, and Roman Coppola (That’s a YAT? or “Yet another Coppola?”). No word on the release date.

For Wes, the glass is always 3/4’s full
