Sweeney Todd confirmed

The production on "Sweeney Todd" has officially started. Tim Burton will be directing Depp once again in this movie that will be produced by Warner Bros. Pictures and DreamWorks. Paramount will distribute for DreamWorks domestically, with Warner taking international rights.

The filming is scheduled to begin in February 2007, the release date being later that year. It is likely that the movie will be released in December.
