As a result, the $3 million project has been shut down and will NOT go forward. $500,000 was already spent on pre-production costs. Franco's exit is said to be due to a disagreement with the studio over the crew he wanted to hire. Franco wanted fresh but inexperienced crew, and the suits wouldn’t approve of his choices.
Based upon author Andre Dubus III's book--The story involves three interwoven story lines - a stripper forced to bring her three-year-old daughter to work; an angry, loner who gets thrown out of the club; and a foreigner with an endless supply of cash about to commit a terrifying act.
The film would have been set in present day New York rather than around the September 11th attacks time frame of the book. Hanna Weg wrote the adapted screenplay.
Weg, Gerard Butler, Alan Siegel, Danielle Robinson, Vince Jolivette and Miles Levy were set to produce the picture
