Update: Josh Hartnett says not to worry about his hospital visit. And to underscore that he was seen about the Miami Party Circuit in full Party Mode back April 10 shortly after leaving hospital.

Film Wise: Movie Bunraku where he plays a drifter is in post production.

Directed by Guy Moshe from a script written by Guy Moshe, the title of the film is based on a 400-year-old form of Japanese puppet theater, a style of storytelling that uses 4-foot-tall puppets with highly detailed heads, each operated by several puppeteers who blend into the background wearing black robes and hoods.
