Wikipedia
Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street is a 2007 musical-thriller and the film adaptation of Stephen Sondheim and Hugh Wheeler's award-winning 1979 stage musical. It re-tells the Victorian melodramatic tale of Sweeney Todd, a fictitious English barber who, driven insane by the loss of his wife and daughter, murders his customers with a cut-throat razor, and with the help of his accomplice, Mrs. Lovett, turns their remains into meat pies.

Trivia:
Anne Hathaway was almost cast as Johanna but Tim Burton wanted a complete unknown for the role and settled with Jayne Wisener. Meryl Streep, Imelda Staunton, Cyndi Lauper and Emma Thompson were all considered for the role of Mrs. Lovett. Annette Bening and Toni Collette both also lobbied vigorously for the role of Mrs. Lovett, but lost out to Helena Bonham Carter.
