BroadwayWorld has Sweeney Todd's opening credit clip
Big focus on blood.
Sondheim score intact.
Who knows...maybe I'll end up not liking the film because Tim Burton focuses too much on the gore!?

2nd Sweeney Todd trailer: Look, Ma! No Musical!
OK, the first Sweeney trailer had but a smidge of singing (from "Epiphany".) this trailer has exactly NO singing. It's not that I think the trailers are bad. It's not that I think that people who might go to see a Tim Burton/Johnny Depp collaboration a la Sleepy Hollow have no chance of liking Sweeney. I'm just a tad concerned that completely obfuscating the fact that it's not only a musical, but a nearly sung-thru musical, might, well, set the wrong expectations. And you know unhappiness is all about unmet expectations. What do you think?
