Shooting on the set of public enemies and filming in lockport postponed

On Friday morning, half an hour before Johnny Depp arrived on set, a drive by shooting occured about a block away from the actual set, and no one was injured. While the crew continured to work, an officer took five teens into custody and later charged one for unlawful use of a weapon.

A police officer talks with costumed extras on the set of the film, "Public Enemies," after a drive-by shooting occurred nearby. (from http://www.chicagotribune.com/)

XXXXXX

Shooting was postponed in Lockport (to the dismay of some very excited and lucky locals) the full detailed story at http://www.southtownstar.com/

WILD TARGET: the next greatest hit with the greatest stars (with the exclusion of Johnny Depp)

HBCs next project, "Wild Target", is sure to be a hit as she stars alongside Bill Nighy (who's worked with Simon Pegg (Fierce!), Nick Frost (fried Gold!) and Edgar Wright (Blood Bril!) on their blood and ice cream trilogy (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, and Worlds End which is in pre-production)). The plot however it a bit of a mystery but the article from http://www.variety.com/ should explain it better:

“Wild Target,” budgeted at $8 million, will star Bill Nighy and Helena Bonham Carter. Producers are Martin Pope and Michael Rose of Magic Light Pictures.

Umm, yeah, well I know it's a "hit-man caper" and.... well we'll keep you posted!

Tim Burton to (finally, it's about time!) get a star on the walk of fame!

According to associated press Tim Burton and 24 other stars will be added to the walk of fame, among the others are Robert Downey Jr. and Hugh Jackman (horray!).

Johnny Depp Keeps His Promises!

Johnny promised a 12 year old wisconsin boy, Jack Taylor, his fierce fadora that he wears in Public Enemies, and made good on that promise!
He's currently filming in Lockport, Wisconsin.

Rumors...

Johnny Depp was supposedly going to get married to his girlfriend Vanessa Paradis, with whom he has two children, this month but that turns out to be FALSE.

Happy Birthday Johnny!!!

Tomorrow, June 9th, is Johnny Depp's 45th Birthday! Happy Birthday Johnny!

Whil at the MTV Movie Awards (where he won two gongs for his role in Sweeney Todd) he offered Lindsay Lohan use of his private island. More on that story at http://www.nowmagazine.co.uk

Dark Shadows

Burton is at it again! It's been a long time rumor and dream that he'd do an adaption of Dark Shadows (an old television program that aired from 1966-1971) and it's progressing into a script written by John August (who wrote the scripts to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Big Fish). The story focouses on Vampires, Zombies and Worlocks! And because Burton is involved Johnny Depp is anticpated to play the lead! It sounds FIERCE!!!
We'll keep you posted!
