EXCLUSIVE: For their first sale through their overall deal at 20th Century Fox TV, Chris Miller and Phil Lord have teamed with Johnny Depp to produce Torched, a comedy project that has landed at Fox with a put pilot commitment. The single-camera family comedy hails from Blue Mountain State co-creator/star Chris Romano. It centers on a fast-talking, fun-loving dad, who through his very unique — and sometimes law-breaking — job, strives to give his young son the life he never had. 20th TV, Lord Miller and Depp’s Infinitum are producing, with Romano, Lord, Miller, Depp, Lord Miller President Seth Cohen and Infinitum’s Christi Dembrowski and Norman Todd executive producing. Miller and Lord previously worked with Depp on 21 Jump Street.

 'Into the Woods' First Set Pics!








"Anna Kendrick and Emily Blunt are in full costume and ready to film on the set of their highly anticipated movie musical Into the Woods on Wednesday (September 25) in the United Kingdom.
The two stars of the film were joined on the set by their fellow actors Chris Pine, James Corden, Billy Magnussen, Christine Baranski, Tracey Ullman, and a few extras. Noticeably missing from filming that day was Meryl Streep, who stars as The Witch, and Johnny Depp, who will play The Wolf.
Emily showed off her baby bump in her costume – the role she plays, The Baker’s Wife, is pregnant in the script as well!"

For years now, I've watched the constant, diligent, and quiet work of Christine and her Johnny's Angels group supporting the Childrens Hospice and Palliative Care Coalition, a charity Johnny Depp has supported for years. While other people and their charity work in Johnny's name have come and gone, this group has remained constant and in the background. Never pushing, never flaunting, never putting themselves or their names first. It's always for the kids! The kids come first!


SO beginning this year, I am publicly and personally supporting the work that Johnny's Angels does. Their work goes on 365 days a year, but it's now time for their annual fundraiser for Johnny's birthday. I think they do fabulous work and NEVER lose focus on the children and families they are serving.

They did not approach me, they've asked me for nothing, I approached them and Christine responded very graciously. She and her team are totally 100% client focused, the kids and their families are in the forefront. Johnny has acknowledged their works for years now, but that is never their reason for fundraising.


JDR has always supported the Children's Hospice and Palliative Care Coalition in the past, so now I am also trying to shine some light on the wonderful, self sacrificing work of Johnny's Angels!

Please join me in supporting this fabulous group! The links below take you to their home page and information about their group and what they accomplish for the children. Take a minute, look over their website, see what they are about, if you like what you see, and if you are able, please consider making a donation. If you aren't able to donate now, please keep them and the children they serve in your prayers. I thank you!
