Celebrity Update- ‘Sweeney Todd’ Rewrites History With Poster

… also Tim Burton may have p*ss poor knowledge of London geography!

The London papers had an absolute blast today taking the mickey out of the new Tim Burton and Johnny Depp movie ‘Sweeney Todd’, for having the outright arrogance to rewrite history and move Fleet Street across London (WTF).

The now infamous movie poster features Depp’s characted, Todd, sitting in a darkened room with the London landmark Big Ben clearly visible in the window behind (circled below). Now… the scandal is that the film is set in the early 19th century, 50 years before the clock was built! Fans all over the world spotted the blooper and after massive protests, the poster was scrapped (yay).

In addition to that, one clever commenter on This Is London’s website pointed out that even if the clock were around at the time, the film is firmly based in Fleet Street… the clock would never have been visible from that part of London anyway.

A spoiler/ interview footage of Sweeny Todd can be seen here.

Celebrity Update- Entertainment Weekly Pretends There Are Smart People In Hollywood, LOL

UPDATE 2 DEC 2007 NY Daily News List the Dumbest In Hollywood, My New Heroes

 

The list of the 50 smartest people in Hollywood are as follows (please excuse me while I LOL and then ROTFL)

HOLY CHRIST I just read down the list and freakin’ Ben Affleck is on there WTF!

 

Their clearly freakin’ slack requirements are as follows:

1) Every person on the list had to be smart not just in general, but smart right now. They had to be leading the industry forward in some way, today.
2) The list would be about the movie business only. (We’ll do a Smartest People in TV list, too, next year).
3) The list would represent a broad range of intelligence in the movie business – not just the suits and the stars, but the composers and the costume designers, too.
4) “Smart” could mean many things. It encompasses books smarts and street smarts, financial genius and emotional intelligence. We weren’t interested in IQ. What mattered was the originality of each person’s thinking and the reach of their ideas beyond the borders of their own careers.
5) At 50 names, the list could not possibly include every smart person in Hollywood. Each person on this list needed to help paint a portrait of where movies are today and where they’re headed. Each person on this list tells a different story about the movie business today. They are all smart, certainly, but they also symbolize, collectively, Hollywood now.
6) We ranked them first, and primarily, by their overall impact on the industry this year, and then factored in the influence of each person within their own profession. It allows for a diverse and surprising list, where a cinematographer (Emmanuel Lubezki) can take the #24 slot, while an Oscar winning director (Michael Moore) can come in below him at #27. It will also give you, we’re sure, plenty to argue with us about.

Celebrity Update- Tim Burton Lacks Originality, Spoiler of ”Sweeney Todd”

Tim Burton is definitely talented, don’t get me wrong, but I REALLY feel he is parodying his own style at this point!?! (if you know what I mean).

The clip below is a behind the scenes look at Sweeny Todd, along with cast interviews from Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, Alan Rickman, Sacha Baron Cohen and director Tim Burton.

Sweeney Todd opens nationwide on December 21st.
