Comment by Olivier on May 6, 2010 at 11:04pm: Actually the film is based on the best-selling novel in the US & UK by successful novelist/businessman Bernard F. Conners. If the movie is good it may qualify for next year Sundance film festival.

Here the synopsis of the novel Dancehall : "On June 4, 1982, the body of a young woman surfaces from 300 feet of water in Lake Placid, New York. Because of the depth and intense cold of the water, the body, which was determined by medical examiners to have been submerged for over twenty years, is remarkably well-preserved. Authorities are unable to establish the identity of the woman but conclude that her death had been violent. For David Powell (Josh Hartnett?), the discovery fuels deep-seated fears and threatens to uncover secrets he has hidden from his beautiful wife and daughter. Struggling to hold on to his family and business, Powell faces a cunning opponent who threatens everything he has worked for, even his very life.

Comment by Olivier on May 6, 2010 at 4:53pm: I've seen this article but I just don't know what to think; A 5 million budget which is not settled yet and they want to start shooting at the end of June??? The only good point is that Josh will go back to work instead of playing around with his barbie girl. But I can see this movie going straight to DVD if it ever lands a distribution deal in the US...
