As I posted earlier Patrick Doyle held an event tonight called ‘Music from the Movies‘ in aid of the UK’s leading blood cancer charity Leukaemia Research.  Kenneth Bragnah, who played Lockhart in Chamber of Secrets, hosted the event.  Other Harry Potter stars also attended, such as; Emma Thompson, Alan Rickman, Imelda Staunton, Mike Newell and Robbie Coltrane.

Pictures are beginning to appear online and you can see them HERE.

Playbill has announced that the movie Sweeney Todd will be released on December 21st. Harry Potter stars Helena Bonham Carter, Alan Rickman, and Timothy Spall are in this movie. Here is the film synopsis:

Johnny Depp and Tim Burton join forces again in a big-screen adaptation of Stephen Sondheim’s award-winning musical thriller ‘Sweeney Todd.’ Depp stars in the title role as a man unjustly sent to prison who vows revenge, not only for that cruel punishment, but for the devastating consequences of what happened to his wife and daughter. When he returns to reopen his barber shop, Sweeney Todd becomes the Demon Barber of Fleet Street who ‘shaved the heads of gentlemen who never thereafter were heard from again.’ Joining Depp is Helena Bonham Carter as Mrs. Lovett, Sweeney’s amorous accomplice, who creates diabolical meat pies. The cast also includes Alan Rickman, who portrays the evil Judge Turpin, who sends Sweeney to prison and Timothy Spall as the Judge’s wicked associate Beadle Bamford and Sacha Baron Cohen is a rival barber, the flamboyant Signor Adolfo Pirelli.

The Brisbane Times has a new interview with Alan Rickman who plays Professor Severus Snape in the films.

He gives a faint, Snape-like smile that suggests he might prefer them as his next meal. Perhaps it was a glimpse of his forthcoming Sweeney Todd. He’s a very funny man, but he does make a good villain.
