September 30, 2008 - Security Tight on Bone Deep Filming - Filming continues in Los Angeles on location for Bone Deep. Still no word or sighting of Hayden but those who have found themselves near the street filming say security is tough and bystanders say photos are not allowed. Could be why we've had little news about filming so far but still Hayden fans have one more film to look forward too.

One of our readers, Diva, caught Bone Deep and Heroes filming in LA last week! She saw Bone Deep on 9/21, “Matt Dillon, Chris Brown and TI were all shooting different scenes on various streets that weekend. Sadly, no meeting or autographs that weekend either. Security is tough for that movie! Photos were actually not even allowed,....Security got their way with the Chris scene though (they were extra mean and diligently watching us during his scene!)

September 9, 2008 - Virgin Territory Reveiw - "I had a chance to watch Virgin Territory this weekend. It’s much more of a comedy than I expected! Although the story revolves around the Black Plague, it’s really only lightly touched on. It’s more or less the premise for all the wild behavior in the film.
