It's a "Deadline" for Brittany Murphy and Thora Birch

Birttany Murphy and Thora Birch have been MIA lately, but both actresses are staging a bit of a comeback in the psychological thriller Deadline. In the flick, Murphy will play a writer working on a screenplay in an abandoned house. Her character eventually suffers a nervous breakdown due to a case of writer's block, among other events. Tammy Blanchard also has a role in the film.

Murphy will be seen in this year's Across the Hall, while Birch, who showed biting "It Girl" promise in American Beauty and Ghost World, hasn't been seen or heard from much in recent years. This film could mark a return to the spotlight for both women.
