ita is afraid of sloths ? I didn't know that. I didn't know they were fearsome. I've never actually seen one, though.
But I understand. You gave up everything you had to find me. And you found me broken. It's hard for you.

Hey! The sloth is my TOTEM!

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Anyway I think ita's only afraid of giant sloths. They look like this.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I was worried for a bit that the trailer would be all dialogue. I think I may be able to buy Depp's singing, which is key.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Depp's got the right crazed/haunted/driven look in his eye. I am more worried about Helena B-C as Mrs. Lovett than I am about Depp, but I hope they can boith rise to the demands of the score.

Robin is me. I like HBC, I just wish she'd been cast as Lucy instead. (I also wish Meryl Streep hadn't turned down Mrs Lovett to be in the movie version of Mama Mia instead. WTF was she thinking???)
I was worried until the last line in the trailer that they'd forgotten ST is a comedy. (They do seem to have forgotten it's a musical, but I suspect that's largely just the way the trailer is cut.)

Depp has singing experience, though, doesn't he? He dropped out of high school and was in a band for a while before becoming an actor. I don't doubt that he can pull it off.
I don't know if I've heard HBC sing. There may have been a little bit in A Room with a View but I don't know if that was her.
I'm so looking forward to this!

Mrs Lovett doesn't require a great singing voice - Angela Landsbury certainly didn't have one, and she was perfection. I just think HBC is the wrong kind of crazy for that role. (In addition to being way the hell too young.)
