Today it was reported that Christopher Lee's character - along with several other characters - were cut from Tim Burton's Sweeney Todd script, according to Cinematical. He was to play a "Gentleman Ghost," a character not in the original show. This would have marked Lee's fourth collaboration with Burton -- the others being Sleepy Hollow, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Corpse Bride. Says Lee, "It would have been worse if I had done the scenes, but I never got to film them. It's a shame as the lyrics were wonderful, but these things happen." Warner Bros. is set to release the film on December 21, 2007.
