Brittany Murphy’s last film due for release in summer

Anchor Bay Entertainment has picked up the last film “Abandoned” by actress Brittany Murphy who sadly died from a cardiac arrest in December. It is believed that the movie will be released in the summer of this year.

In more recent years Abandoned produced by Jeffrey Schenck and Barry Barnholtz is a thriller in which Murphy plays Mary Walsh who takes her boyfriend to hospital he vanishes with no record of him left behind.
