On August 16 I reported that Jessica Alba was filming a remake of a Chinese ghost movie called The Eye. I just happened to be in Vancouver, B.C. this past weekend. I visited Chinatown on 8-18, and after driving through the Chinatown gate I immediately saw the movie set for the eye on the corner of West Pender Street and Carrall Street. Security there told me they were filming The Eye with Jessica Alba, and they didn’t want any pictures taken by anyone. There were no paparazzi allowed. Good thing I was just an innocent tourist, and even so it was tough to get any pictures.

The first nine pictures are of the the movie set which shows a burned out Chinese shop that looks real. People walking by made up stories about it saying things like the building had been burned out like that for 20 years, even though it was built just for filming that night. Staff said they would be shooting all night until 5 am. The filming took place just down the street from where 21 Jump Street with Johnny Depp was filmed.

They kept Jessica near a black tent during filming, and blocked off foot traffic with police far enough to make a good shot of her impossible during filming. Just around the corner right under the China gate sign was a parking lot with an iron fence around it. While walking by I noticed Jessica was standing beside a white van in slippers and a sweater. I snapped the picture above of her, then staff immediately rushed her into the van. They didn’t give any other opportunity for a good shot of her after that.

Pictures 11 and 12 show the set the next day on 8-19. That fake burned out building turned out to have just been the parking lot for Jack Chow Insurance. It looked so real.

Johnny Depp’s daughter, Lily-Rose, looks much healthier as she takes a stroll along the Thames with dad. What a relief. She’s adorable.

Lily was originally thought to have had blood poisoning, but was later diagnosed as having an E. coli infection in her blood (sepsis), which affected her kidneys. Depp stayed by Lily-Rose’s bedside until she recovered, and production of Sweeney Todd was delayed.

Depp is now in England filming Tim Burton’s version of Stephen Sondheim’s Sweeney Todd.

It’s been revealed that Johnny Depp’s daughter Lily-Rose battled E. coli poisoning earlier this month rather than blood poisoning as initially reported.

Staff at Pinewood Studios, where Johnny had been filming Sweeney Todd, were told that Lily-Rose’s kidneys shut down as a result of the bacteria and she was very lucky to survive.

A source reports: “Everyone gasped when we were given the real reason for her illness. It was touch and go for a while.”

E. coli (Escherichia coli) is one of the main types of bacteria found in the lower intestines of mammals but some strains cause potentially severe illness in humans. Around 1000 people a year are treated for E. coli poisoning in the UK, usually contracted from eating contaminated food and drink. It has up to a 50% mortality rate in the elderly and children under five and can also lead to long-term kidney and sight problems.

Filming on Sweeney Todd was temporarily halted while Johnny looked after Lily-Rose, but staff at the studio have been told by Warner Bros producers that it will resume again on Monday.

Johnny Depp has vowed to give up acting until his sick daughter has made a full recovery. Depp, 43, had been working on a new movie version of Sweeney Todd before seven-year-old Lily-Rose became ill. She was admitted to a London hospital two weeks ago but was released on 9 March and is being looked after by Depp and his wife Vanessa Paradis.

Staff at Pinewood Studios in Buckinghamshire, have been told that they will be laid off unless the actor returns by the weekend. A film source told The Sun, "He does not want to come back until Lily-Rose gets the all clear. The plan is to re-employ everybody when she is better."

Nine days after Johnny Depp’s 7-year-old daughter was rushed to a London hospital, the cause of Lily-Rose’s mysterious ailment is being pinned on a rusty tack.

According to In Touch, "the wound was left untreated" and "blood poisoning developed. It has now spread through her body and has affected her vital organs."

While there have been several conflicting reports on the severity of Lily-Rose’s condition, Depp’s reps tell the AP that she is "doing much better." The actor has reportedly not left Lily-Rose’s bedside since she was admitted to the hospital on February 28.
