Originally Posted By Labuda I love Burton, LOVE Depp, and really enjoy Sweeney Todd, but ummmm.... did Johnny do his own singing in Cry-Baby? Have we seen him sing in anything else?
Originally Posted By ToonKirby >Have we seen him sing in anything else?< Johnny was dubbed in "Cry-Baby" and, when they were getting ready for "Charlie & the Chocolate Factory", stated that at first he wasn't sure about taking the part because he couldn't sing (Gene Wilder did in the original movie). So, I'm not sure how this will work out. Of course, he could always be dubbed ...
Originally Posted By Labuda Well, as long as it's well-donee dubbing, I'm all for seeing Johnny up on the screen singing.

Originally Posted By lilprincess maybe his years in a band, though just on guitar, gave him some singing abilities..hopefully, if not dub away
Originally Posted By BlazesOfFire He could sing terribly and I wpuldnt love him any less LOVE the Burton/Depp combos!!!

Originally Posted By ToonKirby For contemporary films, De Niro and Scorsese have done 8 movies together, not counting ones they acting in together. Wayne and Ford probably have the most, with about 20 features together. So Depp and Burton, who have only done 5 films together ("Sweeney" would be the 6th), have a long way to go. There is a LOT of singing in "Sweeney", and it is very operatic on top of that, so I don't see how he will be able to "learn" to sing for the part. And the last time that happened was Gerald Butler in "Phantom", with mixed results ...
Originally Posted By LadyKluck Heck, Gerard Butler could sing "I'm a Little Teapot" and I would swoon - I'm sure the same will go for Johnnie Depp as well - I'll be too busy watching HIM to worry about his singing talent! Of course, that's just me! (I'm also super proud of myself for knowing the John Wayne/John Ford thing!) *pats self on back*
Originally Posted By stagemomx3 Sweeney Todd seems appropriately suited to be a Tim Burton film. I also agree with whoever said that Johnny Depp could sing bad and I would still love him. I still wish that TB & JD had made Charlie and Chocolate Factory a musical like the version with Gene Wilder.
Originally Posted By lesmisfan this would be a great collaboration between depp and burton. I can't wait to see this if its true!!!!
