Johnny Depp Puts The Brakes On Filming

Filming has come to a grinding halt as Johnny Depp tends to his ailing daughter.  The charismatic Depp puts his child first until she is in the clear.

The movie “Sweeney Todd” was to begin filming over the weekend, but it has been reported that the production will be put on hold until Depp’s daughter, Lily-Rose, makes a full recovery.  Fortunately, the project has not been scrapped and “the plan is to re-employ everybody when she is better,” an informer told the Sun.

“The Ultimate Gift” Hopes For The Light

”The Ultimate Gift“ is the latest offering by Fox Faith. The film is labeled “an inspirational drama based on a book by Jim Stovall that has apparently sold more than 3 million copies.” The flick boasts a stellar cast that includes James Garner, Brian Dennehy and Abigail Breslin, who comes in fresh off her Oscar-nominated role in “Little Miss Sunshine”.
