Can Johnny Depp Sing? Tim Burton Says Yes

The Associated Press has posted a preview of the upcoming holiday films, and Sweeney Todd and Paul Thomas Anderson's There Will Be Blood (with a score by Jonny Greenwood) have made the list.

About Sweeney, AP asks "the season's big musical question: Can Johnny Depp sing?" And director Tim Burton replies with a resounding "yes": "He's a very musical person, but when he said he would do it, nobody had any idea if he could sing. I knew him well enough to know that he wouldn't have said yes to doing it if he couldn't ... It's one of my favorite roles that Johnny has done." And he should know: Sweeney is the pair's sixth film collaboration.

Hear for yourselves on the film's soundtrack, due out on Nonesuch in December. Greenwood's score for There Will Be Blood is due out then as well.
