[edit] Title
Shouldn't this be called Sweeney Todd (film)? -- Jim Douglas (talk) (contribs) 04:43, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
- There are actually several films called "Sweeney Todd" (based on the original story and character that the musical was based on). Sweeney Todd (2007 film) would be a more accurate title. (Ibaranoff24 20:16, 19 October 2006 (UTC))
[edit] Cast
Please stop posting information up here that hasn't been verified. If Timothy Spall really is playing Beadle Bamford, please add the backup to show it. Thank you. --AntiCruise 03:13, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
Seroiusly. Stop it. Anthony won't be Beadle Bamford. He's a baritone, and Bamford is one of the highest tenor roles for Broadway (borderline sopranist). --AntiCruise 12:53, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Validity of article
Did somebody jump the gun in creating this article? On January 19, 2007, it was announced Johnny Depp's next film project is Shantaram, based on the book of the same name about the escapades of former convict Gregory David Roberts, co-produced by Depp and Brad Pitt for Warner Brothers. The screenplay by Eric Roth will be directed by Mira Nair.
Isn't it premature to create a Wikipedia article about a film project until it actually starts shooting, thus practically guaranteeing its release? If an article about the film version of Evita had been written every time it allegedly was beginning production, Wikipedia would have a dozen or more entries about projects that ultimately were aborted. I feel there should be some restraint in creating articles about proposed films, no matter what info might appear in IMDb, which I have found to be riddled with incorrect data.

- This article was created some time after the long-rumoured film was announced in the trades. Personally i find that reasonable but i'm not sure of what the wikipedia guidelines on this are, or what other people who are watching this page might think. Shantaram (also been in the pipeline for ages) has specifically been anounced to begin filming in the autumn, wheras Todd has been touted to start filming in February (with rumours of some work beginning ever earlier). That should give Depp plenty of time to promote Pirates 3 before beginning on Shantaram.
- As regards the IMDb - it is frequnetly wrong. I suppose we just have to live with that. Personally, whenever i come across an inaccuracy on there, i try to fix it, much as i would on here (although admittedly it's not as easy). That said, Variety and so on, are professional publications and do take the time to check there info, so are more reliable sources to use for the information on this film.
