Sacha Baron Cohen (Ali G, Borat) has joined the cast for the Dreamwork’s/Warner Bro’s flick Sweeney Todd. Cohen has signed up for the role of Signor Adolfo Pirelli (as far as I know he’s not remotely Kazakh), who - as Variety put it - is the “nemesis” barber of the infamous Sweeney Todd. The project will be led by the eccentric fingertips of Tim Burton and is due to begin shooting in London during February next year. It’s sure to be a barberous affair…(don’t lie, you chuckled at that).
