Leading two straight weekends in a row, Sacha Baron Cohen who starred in 'Borat' will be joining Johnny Depp in Tim Burton's adaptation of Stephane Sondheim musical 'Sweeney Todd'.

Cohen will play Signor Adolfo Pirelli, a barber who becomes the nemesis of Sweeney Todd. Todd's the barber who teams with the murderess Mrs. Lovett (Helena Bonham Carter) to kill people, grind them up and use them in her meat pies.

Since ""Sweeney Todd"" shoots in London in February, the picture is the next up for Cohen. The musical offers him the opportunity to create another eclectic character, as he did when he played the race car driver Jean Girard in ""Talladega Nights.""

As ""Borat"" continues to establish itself as a box office juggernaut, Cohen has just begun working out the story beats of ""Bruno,"" the feature he'll make for Universal, playing the Austrian fashion reporter character he created for ""Da Ali G Show.""

Cohen's upcoming projects include ""Bruno"" for Universal, ""Curly Oxide and Vic Thrill"" at Paramount, and the remake of the Francis Veber comedy ""Dinner for Schmucks"" at DreamWorks."
