Read Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street Full Story :
Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street : In 1831 London, a skilled barber named Benjamin Barker is falsely charged and sentenced to penal transportation from London by the corrupt Judge Turpin, who thereafter seizes the protagonist's wife Lucy Barker for himself. In 1846, fifteen years later, Barker returns to London, adopting the alias Sweeney Todd, and is accompanied by sailor Anthony Hope. At Mrs. Nellie Lovett's meat pie shop on Fleet Street, he learns that Turpin raped Lucy, who then poisoned herself with arsenic, whereafter their daughter Johanna is now Turpin's ward and, like her mother before her, the object of Turpin's lust. Todd vows revenge, and re-opens his barber shop after Mrs. Lovett returns his straight razors to him. While roaming London, Anthony becomes enamored of Johanna, but is driven away by Turpin's sidekick Beadle Bamford.Burton had entertained the notion of a film version since the early 1980s. However, it was not until 2006 that he had the opportunity to realize this ambition, when DreamWorks announced his appointment as replacement for director Sam Mendes,
