January 12, 1999... A reader tells us this movie lensed and was done shooting before we had a chance to change it's production status to a greenlight. The scooper says the movie shot both in Montreal and New York City, and while on-location Denzel Washington had his bodyguard around him 24 hours a day. The scooper also added that actor Michael Rooker (the fellow who played Sylvester Stallone's mountain rescue friend in Cliffhanger) also stars in the film. [Chico is our man.]
