Gangs of NY over-running...

Hollywood sources have revealed that filming is so far behind schedule on Liam Neeson's new film the Gangs of New York that both himself and Leonardo DiCaprio aswell as Daniel Day-Lewis and Brendan Gleeson have been working on weekends to make up on time lost. To make matter worse for the producers and director the movie's female lead Cameron Diaz shot a scene while suffering from flu.

The reason that the Irish gangster film has been delayed due to bad weather, problems handling hundreds of extras and Italian work-day restrictions which have all played havoc with the filming in Rome.

These delay's however will NOT mean that Neeson will miss the start of his war on Aids in Africa auction on March 6th in New York. The lightsabre he used in the Star Wars prequel The Phantom Menace is up for auction on the night as are a lot of items given by his star friends.

The Irish star is spearheading a charity auction of movie memorabilia using his personal contacts in Hollywood to get unique items for which film buffs are expected to pay a small fortune, even though he has misplaced his copy of the Schindler's List script he had intended to auction.

Among them is the weapon he used as the Jedi Knight Qui-Gon Jinn in the fantasy movie, the first time director George Lucas has ever allowed one of the gadgets to be sold.

A spokesperson for UNICEF in Dublin told ShowBizIreland.com last night, "There is no way Liam will miss the auction in Sotheby's in New York next Tuesday. He is the patron of the charity and will be at the auction and then he will be hosting a gala dinner after."
