British actress Helena Bonham-Carter is to star alongside Johnny Depp in a film version of Stephen Sondheim's musical Sweeney Todd. The Oscar-nominated star, 40, will play Mrs Lovett, a murderess who dispenses her victims' bodies in meat pies.
Angela Lansbury originated the role in a 1979 Broadway production of the musical, which won eight Tony awards.
Sweeney Todd will be Bonham-Carter's fifth film outing with director Tim Burton, who is also her partner. http://indianewshub.com/cms/index.ph...=873&Itemid=90
