Depp and Burton leaving the stage JAPANESE FANS OUT IN FORCE TO SEE JOHNNY DEPP The Japanese premiere of Tim Burton's film adaptation of the hit Broadway musical, 'Sweeney Todd The Demon Barber of Fleet Street' took place in Tokyo Tuesday (8JAN). Leading man, Johnny Depp and director Tim Burton met local fans and gave reporters an insight into their latest project together, which comes seventeen years after their first collaboration. Thousands of people came out to try and catch a glimpse of Depp but not everyone managed to squeeze inside the Roppongi Hills Arena with hundreds of fans left standing outside the venue. Depp was last in Tokyo in May 2007, for the promotion of 'Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End' in May attracting over 6000 fans to the premiere. In 'Sweeney Todd,' Depp plays Benjamin Barker, a man who is falsely imprisoned for 15 years after a judge sets him up in order to take his wife and daughter. Barker escapes and takes on the name of Sweeney Todd. Todd, a barber by trade, seeks to take out revenge on all of the people who have wronged him. The film has been nominated for four Golden Globes. Depp has been given the nod for best actor, Helena Bonham-Carter for best actress, Tim Burton for best director and best motion picture musical or comedy. It's the 6th time Johnny Depp has collaborated with Burton. Edward Scissorhands (1990), Ed Wood (1994), Sleepy Hollow (1999), Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005), and Corpse Bride (2005) all saw the pair team up. 'Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street' is released in Japan on 19th January.
