Nonesuch to Release Two “Sweeney Todd” Recordings Dec. 18
By Ernio Hernandez
22 Oct 2007Nonesuch Records has set Dec. 18 as the release date for the soundtrack to the forthcoming “Sweeney Todd” film. The company will also issue a two-disc deluxe edition.
The film’s soundtrack will precede the movie’s opening by 3 days. Nonesuch Records’ deluxe edition — currently available for pre-order — will feature “the complete music for the film… with bonus content [and a] bound booklet,” according to an Amazon.com description.
Nonesuch also released the cast recording for the recent revival of Sweeney Todd featuring Michael Cerveris and Patti LuPone.
Also in the works is a companion book for the “Sweeney” film to be released Dec. 4 by Titan Books. The hardback — penned by (the only on-set) journalist Mark Salisbury — will include “interviews with Burton and the cast and crew, extracts from the shooting script, over 200 photos, plus concept drawing and production designs,” as a release states.
Fans can currently sign up for updates on the film by visiting sweeneytoddmovie.com. Two trailers have been cut for the film thus far — one which offers a listen at Johnny Depp’s singing voice, another that subtly provides Stephen Sondheim themes under bits of dialogue.
