Ecco la notizia che non volevamo sentire...parliamo di un regista che sta per ricevere il Leone d´Oro alla carriere e...la Warner Bros visto l´attuale montaggio di Sweeney Todd abbia chiesto al regista Tim Burton di tagliare le scene troppo cruente....in modo da mantenere il musical ad un livello di censura dove i minori di 13 anni debbano essere accompagnati dai genitori.
Il tema del film basato su un barbiere che sgozza con il proprio rasoio alcuni clienti per vendetta, per poi passarli alla sua compagna che prepara coi cadaveri dei deliziosi pasticci di carne, è un musical pluripremiato e ovviamente non è indirizzato ad un pubblico troppo giovane, quindi perchè censurarlo?

"Tim non è felice che lo studio gli abbia chiesto così tanti tagli" ha commentato qualcuno legato alla produzione, "Il problema è che lo studio adora letteralmente questo film e vuole che sia accessibile alla massima audience possibile - il che significa metterci meno sangue possibile" Pare che in una scena in particolare il livello splatter del film sia veramente alto: Sweeney sgozza un cliente, che siede legato su una poltrona meccanica, poi una botola si apre e il cadavere scivola al piano di sotto, dove Mrs Lovett inizia a farlo a pezzi per la sua torta. In un´altra scena addirittura un ragazzino di dieci anni aiuta la Lovett, staccando pezzi di cadaveri e mettendoli nel tritacarne. Speriamo rimanga il più fedele possibile al musical!

Award-winning director Tim Burton has been told to butcher his own film, in which Johnny Depp plays the Demon Barber of Fleet Street, Sweeney Todd. Studio executives became a tad squeamish when they viewed grisly footage of blood splashing across the set as Depp slits the throats of his customers in the movie, based on Stephen Sondheim´s stage musical. In its present form the film would merit an 18 rating, but Warner Brothers would prefer it to have a 15. During filming at Pinewood studios, prosthetic lookalike limbs were used (obviously the real thing would have been taking realism too far!) and they were so gruesomely lifelike that some of the crew became nauseous and had to take fresh air breaks.

Those on set were further spooked because there were piles and piles of sliced-up ´corpses´, plus several spare ´necks´ in case Burton wanted to shoot several takes of the same throat-cutting scene.
In the movie, Todd´s victims are sat in a mechanical chair, their throats are cut and as Johnny flicks a switch, the floor opens and they slide down a chute into the lair of Todd´s mistress, Mrs Lovett (the pie maker) played by Helena Bonham Carter. Mrs Lovett uses Todd´s ´gifts´ to fill her meat pies! One scene that particularly bothered the studio bosses was when they saw a ten-year-old boy cutting up body parts, which were then thrown into a meat grinder and turned into mince.
"Tim´s not happy that the studio is asking for so many cuts to the cutting, as it were," someone connected to the film told me.
"The thing is, the studio really likes the film and they want to make it accessible to as big an audience as possible - which means stemming the blood flow. But that´s a bit difficult for a story involving a guy who gets high slitting throats."
