Brittany is currently in Oregon filming a new film called “Something Wicked”. Her character is named Susan and is a psychiatrist… No word on the release date for the film, but you can view the film’s website at MerchantFilms.com.

“Something Wicked” is a current day action thriller set in a mid-size American community (Eugene, Oregon) in the Pacific Northwest. Christine and her boyfriend James have just graduated from Highland High School and are looking forward to enjoying their future together. Everything appears to be going well until Christine and James realize that she is being stalked by a psychologically tormented and obsessed young man, who in the end, will stop at nothing to be with her.

Brittany is starring in a new TV movie called “Megafault”, which is named as an earthquake disaster flick. The movie is set to do a run on a stilled unnamed TV channel in the US – more information will be posted when I find it! In the meantime, you can click on the thumbnail to the left of this post to see Brittany on the set.

I’m sure you’re all aware of the earthquake disaster flick, “Megafault,” that is filming in the Quad-Cities right now. Well, Major has posted some cool photos from the set of Eriq LaSalle, Bruce Davison, Brittany Murphy and even Davenport’s own Mayor Gluba, who has a cameo. I got to peek in on the filming at the MVRBC last week while I was at a workshop there. Also saw them filming by the River Center over the weekend. Have you run into the film crew? And do you plan to watch this direct-to-cable movie?

Brittany is starring in “Nora Robert’s Tribute” tonight at 9pm on the Lifetime network!

In the Nora Roberts movie “Tribute,” Cilla McGowan (Brittany Murphy) is a former child star who has found more satisfying work restoring old houses. In search of a normal life, Cilla buys her grandmother’s farmhouse in Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley to rescue it from ruin. Her hope for serenity is soon eclipsed by haunting dreams of her famous grandmother, who died of a supposed overdose in the house more than 30 years ago. Cilla soon forges a romantic relationship with Ford Sawyer (Jason Lewis), her handsome new neighbor, who ultimately comforts and protects her when her dark dreams and family secrets spiral into a real-life nightmare. (The “Tribute” movie is based on the Nora Roberts book title of the same name.)

“Tribute” airs tonight at 9pm on the Lifetime network!
