Fading Lilly

Fading Lilly: an unspecified "stomach bug" has sidelined actress Wynona Ryder, and now her role in the new film "Lilly and the Secret Planting" must be recast.

The British press has been buzzing about the actress's "mystery illness" after she was reportedly rushed to a private London hospital for a battery of tests.

Ryder was to play the title role of Lilly in the film, a claustrophobic London girl who finds romance through gardening, along side Mexican actor Gael Garcia of the Oscar-nominated film "Amores Perros".

This is not the first time this has happened to Ryder, as ill health forced her to bow out of the 1990 sequel-to-a-sequel film "the Godfather, Part III".
